Literally everyone else has been invisible and it's a long list of people that need to step their game up;

Josh Hill
Austin Carr
Ben Watson
Ted Ginn Jr
Tre'Quan Smith
Mike Gillislee

All of these guys have been invisible come game time, we will become too predictable before long and get completely shut down when Defenses know the 2 players that will get the ball.



We have 3 WR's. More than most teams and we also get a little from Watson. Expecting everyone on the roster to get 5-6 grabs a game is silly. And Kamara is a WR just like Colston was a TE. CM and anyone else are insurance policies. I like CM but it's beyond crazy to think he will be a factor at all but this keep surfacing so I keep trying to live in reality. He will see the field in garbage time or an injury. It's not any harder than that.

I hope he is great but if he really has been healthy since preseason game 4 he has had more than enough time to get ready. It shouldn’t take a veteran this long to be able to step in and play. He had the entire camp to study film and learn the playbook and has had weeks of practice with the team.

You do realize Cameron tore his ACL and MCL? Being a veteran/studying film and learning the playbook has nothing to do why he hasn't been active. The Saints medical staff and coaches are being smart with his return.

Those Adrian Peterson type returns to greatness in 9 months after tearing major knee ligaments aren't the norm at this level of football.

From what I understand he was cleared and said to be ready to go for the last preseason game. Payton said early on that he hasn’t been happy with his receivers. Makes me think they need all the help they can get. If he was any good he would be out there. Getting Smith reps is probably a higher priority for Payton at this point. Only other excuse is he had a setback. Once again we sign an injury prone FA who won’t produce.

You want to start pumping the ball to a WR that is not ready but very close to being ready and has not played in a game in over a year for one of the most critical games.

Nevermind we have the best WR in the game who can beat any coverage or the best pass catching RB in the game. Screw them. Start chunking it to this guy. Ok.

They can't keep relying solely of Thomas to handle the entire WR load. That's asking for trouble. Carr and Tre'Quan haven't been able to become reliable targets to this point. Ginn has had his issues even though he has received a dozen targets or so. They had plans for Meredith and now is the time for him to start playing dividends whether you like it or not. Regardless of what you say it seems you are hoping for his failure just to be able to say, "I told you so."
