You're hiding behind one statistic.

But in your heart you know we are still missing a true #1 wideout.

During his one season here in Indy, he was MIA!

Maybe as a late season addition...

Cooks, Thomas, Snead, Coleman and one of the speedster rookies is five. There are some good looking rookies coming to camp this year. Do we really have room for another receiver on the roster? I'd hate to move on from a promising young talent.

Yall don't forget about Fleener. He will be a WR/TE for us. I do agree Boldin would be an awesome addition.

As long as you have Brees he as proven is all you really need it 3 black WR who can catch the ball and we will be fine.

If you're going after Boldin you just as well bring Colston back. Colston is 3 years younger and had comparable stats.

Bud,
Disagree on that one. Stats are not the only story here. Colston has definitely lost a step or two over the last couple of seasons & has battling nagging injuries.

Boldin however hasn't truly lost a step as most would first point out. Technique, consistency, aggression is his game. Again at age 34, 35 the hands are ELITE possession receiver hands. Pick your poison... 9 route (go route) or 7 yard slant, chances are AB is going to catch the ball. If you are a stats guy, Boldin has had TWO drops in 2015 (let that sink in) which is a ridiculous low drop rate percentage. The dude is still crafty in the middle of the field. Competes on every play and from what I have read, strong locker room presence.

Colston is one of my all time favorite Saints, but he isn't productive as Boldin is at this point of his career.
