Kenny Stills
 
He finished the regular season with the highest YPC in the NFL. Not bad for a strange looking rookie. He'll be a #1 WR in a year or two. Book it.

It's because of his hair.

I'm @ work right now, the funniest pic I have seen in a long time is him running away from Revis..... The 16 million dollar man got schooled yesterday by a rookie and a guy who might not even make next years squad...
WOW

Surely you aren't talking about Stills with this comment..

Edit: You're talking about Meachem - Nevermind. Took me a moment to figure out who you were talking about lol.

I'm sure that catch yesterday didn't hurt his figures.

1 for 76? and he had 31 other catches... yep, went up about 2.5 and 4-5 spots
Josh Gordon's 87 grabs and 19 yard average from 4 different QB's is pretty impressive as well

I knew Stills was fast, but until yesterday I did not know he was that fast.

Really? Brees underthrew him several times this season, especially early on.

Excellent rookie season Kenny S... what a steal of a pick in rd 5. The sky is the limit and he wants to get better every day.

Good for him.

Love this guy we need to keep him around for many years

And to think we get Joe Morgan back next season as well! Stills and Morgan should make quite a dynamic duo!

I am all over Josh Gordon.
He is a quiet threat in a town without a QB.

I sat in the stadium (Browns) and just trembled with pure joy at Gordon.
Raw, pure, quiet talent in that player.
Getting rid of Richardson was a great move because I see Colston in Gordon.

The way Gordon handles the ball like a Faberge egg makes my girl parts quiver.

Stills has it too but because Drew spreads it around; I have not had the opportunity to go gaga on Stills...but I see it and I know he has it TOO!

SaintLeonard 12-30-2013 05:26 PM

Re: Kenny Stills
 
I think some people ITT are overrating Morgan. He's fast.. But that's it. Not a very good route runner and his hands aren't the greatest. That's the difference between him and Stills.

Re: Kenny Stills
 
i really think the WR depth is wide open and yes consecutive years on IR count against you just as much as riding the bench.

great draft year for WR in the middle to late rounds. healthy one too

The same could be said of Meachem and Henderson and we utilized their speed for years to stretch defenses. Hell, we resigned Meachem because Morgan was gonna be out for the year. I will gladly welcome Morgan back.

That is true, good point. Although if we're resigning Morgan, he needs a paycut. We're paying him 1.4 Mil, and a speed demon who stretches defenses isn't worth that.

Sure Josh Gordon doesn't talk much, but he expresses his emotions through his car

Woah... I didn't know we were paying him that much. That's insane for an undrafted free agent who has only actually played in one of his three seasons as a pro. Definitely gotta restructure that contract!

I actually would like to see Meachem back. He can stretch the field and knows the offense. But, I won't be surprised if they let him go again.

I'm sorry he will take Lance Moore spot next year

Love him. He's gonna be special. I heard bobby say its like a 5k fine for giving away a ball. That was really cool of him to do.

By far one of the biggest draft steals from this year, still can't believe he was there in the 5th round

Charging $90 for that damn ball is bad enough (it is very nice though, didn't spend $90, but still), but 5k is robbery.

1.4 million was the 3 year total. He's making about 500,000 per season which is barely over NFL minimum.

Brees has underthrown his receivers for years now. Nothing new

Top to bottom, we've got the best receivers in the league and that's BEFORE you factor Graham, Thomas, and Sproles...

dizzle88 12-31-2013 09:56 AM

Re: Kenny Stills
 
Maybe brees just didnt want to miss kenny by over throwing him because he was so wide open

When i played last season, i got wide open on a busted coverage when i ran a post corner, it went for a long TD and my QB (who could launch it 60 yards by the way) purposely under threw the ball because he didnt want to miss such a wide open target, by underthrowing it also it made for an easier catch on my part

I'm not overrating him. I'm rating him for what we are missing.... A field stretcher... Although I'm sure he can develop route skills, right now we are short on somebody to run the 9 route..... Where he thrived last season. I would also love to see Morgan on kick returns to help the one good return a season return game.

Until Drew starts hitting the 9 in stride, Stills is all we need.

Stills doesn't attack the ball. He let's it come to him. I want to see someone reach out for the damn ball and fight for it like Megatron.

Stills 6' Vertical Leap 33.5"
C. Johnson 6'5" Vertical Leap 43"

Come on man... Johnson has Stills by 15" of range.

Alley, don't often disagree with you but Stills, Meachem, and even Toon (when he can catch the ball) are more than capable of stretching the field...

Brees is just not making, or getting, the downfield opportunities he's made or had in the past...

Nothing against Joe, I just think what we had on the field at WR was ideal for who we are...

See, this is what I've been saying - Brees isn't getting it done downfield; that doesn't mean I don't want him as our QB, but too often receivers are having to slow down, sometimes stop for the ball; and when the contract was being done, it should have been brought up...

lumm0x 12-31-2013 04:43 PM

Re: Kenny Stills
 
Brees also isn't getting the same time he was previous years for the routes to develop. I have never seen him more harried or moving the pocket because of pressure. It's hurting our long game as a result. Not saying Drew hasn't lost some zip, but the conditions aren't helping his situation.
