Noted. $1 says he plays beyond your expectations.

I'm too broke to be a betting man, but I hope you're right.

Dez will be helpful even if he's primarily a decoy. Most defenses are at least attempting to bracket both Kamara and Thomas and inviting Brees to throw the ball somewhere else. You can use the throw in the Rams game to Dan Arnold as an example. Dez will force a change in coverage that will likely open up more opportunities for any one of Kamara, Thomas, or T. Smith.

11 personnel for Brees is now Kamara/Ingram, Watson/J. Hill/T. Hill, Thomas, T. Smith, and Dez. And yes I believe that Dez is last on this list. Couple that with both the best QB in the business and the best O-line in the league, and I see a lot of helpless defenses down the stretch. The only weakness in the entire setup is that T. Hill has not yet proven that he can catch the ball. This is based on his drop on Sunday.

The league just ****ed up letting us sign Dez Bryant.

Just in time for division and conference games too.

Great signing. Legit option on 3rd down and big red zone threat.

What will teams do inside the 20 when we line up with Thomas and Watson and Kamara/Ingram and Dez? Whew!!!

If Dez (still has a high skill set) is your 3rd or even 4th option ...

Kind of hard for me to complain about that as a Saints fan.
