You simply cannot make that kind of mistake.

I especially disagree that Colston is not only the best but "hands down" the best WR we've ever had. That distinction goes to Joe Horn.

Colston has stuck around a long time, which has allowed him to break his team records, and he's also had Drew Brees throwing to him. Think about that for a second. Colston has put up decent statistics in an era of offensive ecstasy. He's never been great. But my comments weren't really about where he ranks. He's got a fumbling problem and that is an indisputable fact. Period.

I was not surprised at the secondary play, though.

I give credit to the Defense for the play on Colston more-so than him fumbling, but we are splitting hairs here...

I hope you're joking about Joe Horn. Playing a few games for the Falcons doesn't take away what he did for us. We didn't re-sign him and he went where somebody would employ him. He knows where his allegiance is.
