Love Robert Meachem.

Not injury prone, for instance.

His touchdowns far outnumber his obvious drops.

He's a keeper.

I agree!! If he goes to another team he becomes their #1 deep threat. I don't want to have to face this guy.. He is healthy and dependable not to mention fast!!

I'm convinced there are a lot of people that don't understand or appreciate MeachEM's role on this team.

He's solid, and if we lost Colston you'd see he and Devery get a lot more catches.

I agree. He fits into his role nicely. SP knows how and when to use him. Remeber we spread the ball around so much , that no one player is gonna really be a big star in our offense, with the possible exception of Graham.

I think Joseph Morgan could step right in and be an upgrade.

The Saints offense is so explosive mainly due to Brees and his receivers. He has 4 guys who have been around the organization for a very long time. They are probably going to lose 2 guys. Colston and Meachem are probably good as gone at this point. Free agency is probably going to find these guys some much greener pasture. Can Brees find new weapons, the answer is yes. What concerns me is Arrington played in the 49ers game, and he and Drew basically had no clue on one another. Everything thrown to Arrington looked to be just a bit off. Throw in two new receivers in the mix and it is very easy to see a significant drop off in production.

You make a good point, and for all those people clamouring for change, getting rid of our Super Bowl coach Gregg Williams, or particular players, you really don't know who you'll get, or what kind of team we'll have next year. I HOPE we're fixing problems, I hope we're getting better, and I hope a lot of players will keep their personal expectations in line, so we can have a great team. But who knows, all you folks may have gotten what you want, and next year we may be 8 and 8. I hope I'm wrong, as I really enjoyed watching my lifelong team, and them actually winning most of the games, and I'm glad we had the right combination, at the right time.

In a matchup system offense, a player's effectiveness is highly dependent on playcall, defensive scheme, defensive player and situation. One cannot evaluate any receiver as if they were a #1 option out of the slot every play.

For what system that is employed, and Meachem's skills, I think he is a crucial asset. His speed, his ability to catch the ball in traffic, his ability to turn into a defender - he's prevented a number of dead certain interceptions - makes him indispensable. Plus, he's not a prima donna.

This is absolutely word for word perfect on Robert Meachem. I believe he is an asset we would seriously regret letting go. I also love the spot on how many interceptions he breaks up. I remember one specifically in the Lions game. I turned to the guy next to me and pointed at the big screen and told him to check out Meachem's break-up. Very savvy play!
