In my opinion, he's a bigger "decoy" than Bush is.

I also wanted to say in defense of Colston, some of the adjustments he has to make on Drew's ball are ridiculous... not to mention as soon as he catches balls over the middle, he's clobbered by two guys. Drew has a tendancy to lead him into some dangerous situations... which contribute to his dropped balls.

Exactly... As awesome as Brees is, he frequently underthrows/overthrows a wide open Devery, and Meachem as well.

Devery is a real threat, and would be #1 on a lot of teams. People get things stuck in their heads, without knowing the actual stats.

The main thing about Devery, is that you shouldnt throw directly to him sometimes. If you want 100% insurance he will catch the ball, throw it behind him between 2 defenders, as he is falling backwards upside down in a twisted pile being hit. He's made some krrazy catches he shouldnt have.

He doesn't overthrow/underthrow any deep passes?

probabaly not in the last 2 or 3 years, no. mostly, he sits on a porch swing and looks at his cows, while his money compounds interest. although he could have been our 3rd string QB last year, and we'd have never known the difference.
