Looks like Jags fans want Colston

I think a lot of people want him including the 49ers. But in a way I think he has more value where he is because he has Brees throwing to him. Take away Brees and Colston is still good. But how good? Personally I would rather have Vincent Jackson. He's bigger, stronger and faster than Colston. Colston knows how to fit into zones and has tremendous hands. That's how he's made his living. But I don't think he is a great speed guy. He was rumored to be a 4.7 guy. Game fast is different from combine fast though. And running good routes, having great hands and good size make up for speed somewhat too.

That is my thoughts also SD49er. Now, before everyone starts burning my fan card. I love Colston. I want him to stay. But I think Drew is 6/8th of his success. That's why IMO; if we are going to really try and keep someone... my vote is for Nicks. He is one of the MAIN people on that O-Line that keeps Drew upright.

Just my 2 nickels.
