We need a True No.1 receiver ...

neugey · 10-08-2013, 10:47 AM

Colston is our #1 receiver. Brees and him work so well together you'd have to be crazy to move Colston to a #2. And we spread the ball around ... PT and even Collins are getting targets now.

I think our #2 receiver situation is fine with Moore, Toon, Meach and Stills. Between these guys our receiver depth is impressive, and I think Toon and Stills will continue to improve.

I think this thread has ended its life. We have the best receiving options in the NFL not to mention the best overall receiver in Graham.

Like Patrick Peterson said, forget labels, Jimmy is a WR or closer to one than a TE. A WR, I don't care how good he is, if he's double covered he's not going to have a good day. Jimmy on the other hand, he makes catches with three bodies around him. Then, it takes two of them to bring him down if he wants to keep going.

Not saying we should pay one for all that money , but give him a real game breaker through the draft ... The rookie contract won't cost that much , what happens if Graham goes down ? Seriously he's a TE not a receiver

We're going to mess around and hurt him overusing him.

Sammy Watkins out of Clemson , Chris outta Texas a&m somebody that threatens people ... If anything it would help Graham get open

Colston is a tight end in a receivers spot ... Brees makes them that damn good ... Give him someone that makes Brees better

Read the article that was posted a couple days ago, misfit toys or something like that.

The biggest reason for the Saints' success is they don't bow to conventional thinking when it comes to personnel. Who decided that you *have* to have a true #1 receiver?

In fact let's look at the teams right now that have a true #1:

Atlanta (Julio)
Detroit (CJ)
Bears (Marshall)
Cardinals (Fitz)
Texans (Andre)
Bengals (AJ)
Cowboys (bryant)
Giants (Cruz)
Bucs (VJax)

Are these offenses better than the Saints? I think you know the answer.

Did you really just say that Graham is not a receiver, and Colston is a TE? LoL Hypocrite much? Craziness abounds! Hahaha Good luck convincing Sean and Drew that Jimmy is not a receiver.

TheOak · 10-08-2013, 11:07 AM

Grahm leads all receivers in the NFL.

Give me a 4 TE set.

Saintaintso · 10-08-2013, 11:12 AM

He's a tight end bro , he's however more of a receiver than Colston is ...

I misread Brees , I thought his arm was losing juice turns out nobody's open ! The last time someone was open was Meach over the top which Brees placed beautifully.

The heavy utilization of Sproles in the pass game is a telling sign that nobody is open as Sproles the check down.

I'm not saying we need to do anything crazy as I am in love with stills but one has to ponder what Brees could do with a Fitzgerald , megaton or Julio Jones.

I think it's time we gave Brees a real threat.

Marquise Lee is the highest decorated receiver since AJ green and Julio Jones ... We both know how those turned out.

I can't believe what you have just said. Our offense, for years now, has been dangerous BECAUSE we don't have a true number one receiver. Week to week teams are guessing, and even we are to an extent, who is going to be the one. I am happy with our receiving corps because we have no prima donnas and each receiver/back/tight-end knows his place and what he does for the TEAM. Case in point is the Dolphin game. Sproles tore them up early on so they thought they should cover him, then Jimmy Graham pops up with 4 catches for 100 yards so they go for him and Colston, who had been quiet up to then is 3 yards short of 100. No, let the other teams have their Megatrons and Jones's. Their Greens and their Fitzgeralds. Let us have a greater variety and do what we are doing because other teams are finding it hard to plan for all of us.

Anyone hear an update on Lance Moore and his hand situation?
He's been inactive for a few weeks now. Just curious.
