Toon or Morgan?!?

Bye toon .... Meachum will make it

Morgan looked really good Frday night. He was laying out for balls and beating the defense deep consistently. I hesitate to feel too good about him because of his injury history. But he is a Saint and I want to see him get it together and do well in New Orleans.

No way we let Morgan walk...hell look how long we kept AA around....that being said i think we keep 6 WRs.

5 on the roster and 4 on game day. Colston, Meachum, Cooks, Stills. That leaves one more spot. I'd go with Morgan. Probably more upside with Toon, younger, less severe injury than Morgan but Morgan looks strong. All he does is make great plays. I don't think Toon can trump any of the above and would be shocked if he did.

If he's healthy in my opinion he's better than Stills. He has good hands. He catches in traffic across the middle. He breaks tackles and is dynamic with the ball in his hands and is a true burner who gets behind the defense. I didn't know he is a strong blocker too. What's not to LOVE?

toon runs like a wimp
morgan is an IR waiting to happen

i am stumped to tell ya the truth. i am waiting for a dark horse to emerge from the pack. the media goes on about the quality of depth at wr every year and every year i see plenty of room for improvement,

Not a fan of Toon but he has played himself into a position.

jeanpierre · 08-19-2014, 07:05 AM

Ranking 'em

Colston
Cooks
Stills
Meachem
Toon
Morgan
Coleman
Tanner
Jones
other kids...

I'd trade Joe Morgan to a team like the Rams for an OL like Barrett Jones, but Jones is injured with a bad back and had minor surgery...

I agree completely. Our WR core the whole time Brees has been here may have been one of the most untalented groups in the NFL. Other than Colston I'm not sure there was a starter among em and definetely no true #1. Cooks is a true #1 and with Stills in yr 2 and Colston were looking at Brees best group. Fingers crossed on Morgan staying healthy.
