I'm not willing to do that and was not when we signed him, injury or no injury. Right now I am still correct in my assumption. Nobody would emerge as the clear best WR out of that group.

I watched CM the whole "good" season with the Bears. Every single game. What I saw was a horrible team, decimated with injury at WR. They threw him out there and were often playing with no shot of winning the game. That is what I watched. I watched him loosely covered most of the time because it did not matter. One of his TDs was a hail mary that bounced off someone's head and landed in his hands with him standing there. That is what I watched. And look what is happening now. Peyton said it's not injury. His routes and timing are off. Now all of a sudden he got it. No way. Not after Carr and Smith have been there the whole time.
I'm going on record as saying that Cameron Meredith will spend the majority of the season as a regular part of the offense and most likely the primary slot receiver. That's all I ever said and was the basis for my bet.

As for your "expert" scouting report on Meredith, I really don't care. Did it ever occur to you that you may not be anywhere near as accomplished at NFL talent evaluation as you might imagine?

The Saints front office didn't pay $5 million to have a bench warming #5 WR as you claim.

Talk about pulling against Saints players. Regardless of what you think your narrative against Meredith is clear as day.

They did pay that much for a bench warmer. It only took a turn yesterday. Before that, they absolutely were paying 5 mil for a bench warmer. Doesn't even matter. If he emerges next week with 2 catches great. If he gets 0 and Tre'Quan gets two that is also great. Does not matter to me. For you though that is not good. You are on your way to losing financially.

$20 bucks. Big deal. But I will win. You want the same bet? You say that Meredith will not be a regular part of the Saints offense for seven of the remaining games? I'll take your money too. It'll give you another reason to pull against a Saints player of which you obviously have an irrational negative opinion.

It's actually very rational. He was the star on a 3-13 team where several of the starting WR's were on IR. If not for that he would have never seen the field or not enough to matter but that happened so here we are.



Nobody has emerged as the slot WR. 1 catch does not make anyone the hands down winner. It takes a body of consistent work for that to happen.



What is irrational is basing anything off of one 11 yard TD grab with nothing else behind it. He literally has 1 single catch going into week four.

So that means he will fail. Okay. I see your logic. Or lack thereof.

I hope he has success and know everyone on this forum wants that to happen. What I won't do is crown him the slot at this time. I was not willing to do that when we signed him, through training camp, PS or even now. Not enough body of work to say he is our best option. That is what I have said from day one. Nothing has changed my mind so far. Is he our best option? I can't say. I honestly do not know. If he gets 2 catches next game then yeah, he is on his way. I want to see a small amount of consistency. I don't think that is too much to expect. Could Tre'Quan emerge next week? I have no freaking idea. I just hope we figure it out because MT and Kamara can't keep this up forever.

Yet you constantly attack my support for my confidence in his success?

Okay.
