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.
