I'll take that bet. He averaged 49 catches per year in 2015-2016 with the most inaccurate starting QB in the league throwing him the ball. I would be shocked if he doesn't double that 25 ... at least.

Nope, and TLL is better anyway

I think things are pretty simple, Ginn has critical drops then he doesn't play much on offense and maybe catches 20 passes all year. If he doesn't have a big problem with drops then he may catch around 60. All I do know is despite what Sean Payton may be saying now, he won't leave him on the field if he is dropping too many.

Ginn is only a stop gap. We probably already have his replacement on the team. If he drops very many balls Payton won't play him except on special teams.

He does make enough of those catches though that the defense still has to respect him so he takes the free safety with him where ever he goes.

Are you saying Lewis will beat him out?

Wouldn't totally surprise me. If it weren't for his special teams play I would put money on TLL

Devry was about the same caliber. Insane speed and drops. Outside of 09's 51 grabs he never sniffed 40. Now add a legit #1 and #2 in Thomas and Snead. Not going to happen unless they go down:

2005 NO 15 22
2006 NO 13 32
2007 NO 16 20
2008 NO 16 32
2009 NO 16 51
2010 NO 16 34
2011 NO 16 32
2012 NO 15 22

He's got everything you want in a WR but the stone hands.
