Meachem
Stills
Jimmy Graham
Brn Watson

All put up career numbers before falling pretty flat if not with him

The difference is that this time HOF qb to another HOF qb

Doesn't mean it will 100% work. Or the system will work for him. Its not like Rivers or Wilson are bad QBs either

Rivers has actually shown he can't play well without playmaking receivers. He's a good qb with weapond but take them away and he's exposed. Also, Meachem was never a true number one. He never had to deal with the top corners because of Colston and Moore. He was treated as a number one in SD. Wilson's been playing with a bad oline and the seahawks are trying to utilize a offense that does not fit them.

And Cooks isnt a number 1
He is just about 5'10 and no team was willing to better the offer the Pats did. The fact that teams would offer a straight up mid round 1st shows teams dont think he is worth what he will be asking for next year.

He is a complentary piece. A Wes Welker that will need Gronk or another true 1 receiver to give him space to work.

The Saints were not paying him north of 10ml a year they would have needed to

he will have 85-90 catches next year and 1200 yards. We got hosed. Good thing we signed low energy when we did, 7-9 could have got away

Not seeing this. I can foresee less than 1000 yards, more complaining, and in Buffalo at this time next year.
