Would like for him to mentor Funchess on playing the big slot WR that I think Devin is best suited for and the role that Colston helped pioneer, but I don't really want to use a roster spot or playing time on him so whatever. I'm cool if we get him for cheap or if we show no interest at all.

No more Saint's rejects!  Harper was tolerable but Colston is spent.  Never really thought he was all that anyway.

Guy has averaged 70 catches, 7 TDs, and just under 1,000 yards a year during his 10-year career. Even adjusting for some stat inflation from playing in that NO offense there's no arguing that he's been a quality receiver.

Not saying that I want to see him in Carolina (though I do think he'd be steps above the Legedu/Louis Murphy-type signings) since KB, Funch, and Ginn/Brown are a very solid group, but Colston probably has a couple of decent years left as a possession guy.

I wouldn't mind him as the Cotchery replacement, and a rookie to supplant Bersin. The man is 6'4" 230 lbs, I'd imagine a perfect tutor / vet presence for Funchess/KB. 

We'd have red zone threats across the board, big, can run block, can make contested catches, if the price is reasonable no reason not to. I like our receivers but we still need a dependable possession receiver, not to mention depth in the receiver size department. Behind KB/Funch we are pretty small at receiver, unless your'e counting Bersin who was rarely active.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
