Re: Cameron Meridith THURS It's On
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.

Re: Cameron Meridith THURS It's On
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. |

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. |

Re: Cameron Meridith THURS It's On
I have 0 confidence in Merideth and based on what Payton has said about the play at WR as a whole I don’t think he makes the cut. Outside of Thomas nobody is really lighting it up. I have a feeling Payton is running out of patience and isn’t going to be comfortable waisting a spot on a player coming off injury who hasn’t shown squat in preseason. Makes IR with return at best.

Let the man get back to game speed before throwing out pitch forks & stones. |

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. |
