I believe Meredith is one of the worst ranked PFF performers in the preseason. He has yet to catch a single pass but has 2 drops credited to him. He might have been decent before the injury, but to be honest, that doesn't matter. Currently, based purely on performance Meredith should be getting cut.

I think this is accurate. Clearly we won't due to the investment, but yeah he hasn't looked great by any means

Based on that theory, you could also add in AJ Klein & Ted Ginn Jr ... but neither of which are probably getting the tap (cut). That is why I don't read PFF as the gospel. Meredith is coming back from an ACL tear. He wasn't even supposed to be back by now.

Question for the nayayers ...

What are/were your realistic expectations on a player coming off a major knee tear after 11 months of rehab in a new/complex style of offense that requires precision route running? He's caught over 70% of his passes thrown to him over his young career with lousy QB play in Chicago.

The NFL season is brutal. I'd much have a guy with ability & high ceiling to take his time coming back. The NFL is not a sprint but a marathon.

He's coming back from a major injury to two ligaments. He's rusty. He's in a new system. He's been limited in practice.

I, for one, am willing to give time until he's been in the system receiving repeated quality snaps before I pass judgement on him.

Re: Cameron Meridith THURS It's On

Honestly, Meredith is really a nonfactor on this offense with the immergence of Smith & with Carr continuing to improve on an offense that already has both MT & Kamara.

Great for depth, but he shouldn't even be considered a #2 or #3 WR option. Can we stash him on PUP & bring him back later this season so he can continue to build on "the best shape of his life" in the meantime?

His play doesn't show he's 100% physically and/or mentally.

It should also be on the Saints. If he gets traded he'll become garbage time Hurns on another team.

Is there some sort of obsession of wanting a promising, young Saints player to fail? Remember he's on our team.

Re: Cameron Meridith THURS It's On

Wanting someone to fail and facing reality are two different things. 3 PS games, can't get open, no catches only drops. He's not ready. I don't know when he will be but it won't be week 1. If you think he is then that is your opinion. There is no evidence to support your opinion but you are entitled to it. Do we have the luxury of letting him remain on the active roster collecting dust? I don't know but I doubt it if it goes on for weeks. We already have a RB doing that so that's two dead weights as of today.
