Yes, I'm serious. Would Colston be the player he is now in the NFL w/o Brees?

All of our other WR's have over performed...compared to their respective careers prior to joining the Saints.

From Colston's roster bio:

He’s only the sixth NFL player to reach 1,000 receiving yards in four of his first five seasons.

That can't be all just Brees, there has to be talent there also. If anything, being in the Saints has made Colston invisible to the national media, which is why he is rarely mentioned in any discussion about top WRs in the NFL.

Didn't say Colston was devoid of talent. Just that having Brees as his QB had more to do with his success in the NFL than anything.

Remember that Colston's first training camp in New Orleans was almost his last.
