Just to clear this stat up a bit, 2008 is when Coston was out and Moore became the number 1 receiver. I liked Meachem but he's not worth the money the Chargers paid him. You need to be willing to go over the middle to comand that kind of money in my book.

Ok, thats good news.

I can't wait to see what this guy can do

Seer1 · 06-07-2012, 08:52 AM

Damned if he didn't make those catches when we REALLY needed'em. The only thing better than one Meachem replacement? TWO DAT BABY!

One play does not make a season fellas.

Meachem was good, not great. IMO he and Devery are interchangeable and Henderson is cheaper, that's why he's still here.

Besides, Meachem never struck me as the sharpest tool in the shed.

You are partially correct.

Meachem made two, (2), outstanding plays in that game against Washingon in that game; the interception-strip-return for a TD and a TD reception that I believe sent the game into OT.

No one said Meachem was going to make people forget Jerry Rice, but, IMO, Meachem doesn't get the credit he deserves from some Saints fans.

Depends on what that play is.

I dare say Porters interception in SB 44 of manning made a season... he could have been burnt all season like Mike mckenzie and that interception would have made him a favorite in anyone's book.

That being said... Meachem's hands were not always soft, and there is a reason he was known by some as Meat-Chump.

I have not problem having an undrafted free agent playing up to a former #1 draft pick's level. Seems like a win there.

Meachem was alright.....it just took him longer than we hoped to grow into the spot.

"A young Robert Meachem" ... what is he, 27? He's a WR, not a rock star. Odds are he'll be around a few more years.
