Devery was literally nothing but a deep threat with questionable hands before Curtis worked with him. Once Curtis sorted him, Devery played a huge role for years and especially in the superbowl. The Colts took away every deep pattern and Devery made several huge chain moving catches to keep drives alive. |

Re: John Ross - I say bring him in. 7 TDs last year.
Screws and Anchors in his chest and Brees has thrown more passes than Brady over his career.
Bound to have taken its toll over the years. Probably an unpopular opinion and may get flamed, but Brees was a big reason why the offense slowed down near the end of the season. After the Dallas game he became indecisive and lacked any real zip on the ball. He missed a ton of throws vs the Rams when he just pulled the trigger on his first read without scanning the field. |

No...
We can not use speed WR.. we need rout runners and physical guys that can catch. Brees cannot throw deep with any accuracy, getting a speedy guy isn’t going to help. |

Not like he did in 2009-2011, but he can still get it out there. We have always had a posession WR at #1, a 9-route burner at #2, a quick slot receiver with hands. No Snead, Meredith washed out, and Ginn is getting long in the tooth. Ross and Uzomah are 2 inexpensive pick ups.

Re: John Ross - I say bring him in. 7 TDs last year.
I'm not familiar with him but it sounds like his stats aren't impressive. The drops concern me. Curtis Johnson has fixed several players, so the whoopin' stick might work with John Ross too. However, I agree that we need a possession receiver more than a deep threat.

John Ross ran 4.22 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine to break Chris Johnson's record of 4.24 set back in 2008.

He's fast, real fast. He's also 5'11" and 190 pounds. 10 pounds heavier than Ginn.

I wouldn't trade anything for him but if he was to become a FA I'd take a look.
