Re: Can Brandon Coleman replace Marques Colston?
 

Euphoria I hear you.

replace Marques?????? say what?

Coleman has not earned first name recognition yet so I am not going there

Coleman has made great progress in year two and I am expecting more out of him next year. Goal is to hold onto the number 4 WR position on the depth chart. That is all I expect.

If be seasons end he has cemented himself as the 4th WR I will be happy. If he takes over the 3? I will be blown away.

The kid was and still is a project

Re: Can Brandon Coleman replace Marques Colston?
 

hes more likely to have 70 catches for 1000 yards, ive been studing his maturity and he was gaining trust as the season went on, you could see him dropping candy routes and being disgusted with himself; then he would make colston type grabs out of nowhere later on, and getting more plays his way, meaning payton let the slack in the bridle on the 6-6 heir apparent to colston. just a different type of colston. hes got moves a lot quicker than colston after the catch. anyone see that, he can avoid the bash by ducking or slashing by the hit sometimes , turns in faster than colston,. I really believe he can step in and get it done.jmo. but yes he does not have colston hands like the younger years.

He's definitely a lot faster than Colston, just needs to work on his concentration and watching the ball into his hands.

He did make some very nice catches and showed good run after the catch, like the one in dome vs Carolina, Brees threw the ball behind him, he spun to make the high catch, eluded a defender and sprinted down the field for 30 yards.
