You guys who know a little more about the economics of football, and who actually think of yourself as being more in touch with the FO's philosophy...why not try to get Robert Meachem in the future? I was daydreaming about getting him before the trade deadline, but I knew that he wasn't on the radar, but maybe we should put him on the radar. The guy is a big target, who is really unnecessary to the overall success of the Saints, and is arguably the most naturally talented WR on the Saints roster (yes, even above Colston). And he returns kicks to boot. Although the Saints appear to be in a good position for years to come, will Meachem be really happy playing third or fourth fiddle. He was a first round guy.

According to what I was balt to find in a quick Google search, his 11.2 million dollar contract runs through 2012 (as does Devery Henderson's 12 million dollar deal earlier this year). Brees already is looking to Lance Moore more after only his first game back, and of course Colston ain't going anywhere. Why not try ultimately make a run for Meachem for next year? Just askin' what you think.

If a receiver can't shine in Payton's offense with Brees throwing him the ball, then I'm not sure I would be that interested.

The Saints have arguably the best pool of talent at WR in NFL history. They really don't need any one receiver to shine, but quite naturally QBs have their favorites. Sometimes it's not so much about shining but knowing your role, and being professional. Just because Meachem hasn't flourished doesn't mean that he doesn't have the ability. Sometimes it's all about the situation.

Look at (the other) Steve Smith in New York. He had been a periphery WR for years, now he is near the top of the league. To me, Meachem strikes me as a talented guy who is being lost within the shadow of other talented guys.

You Fail. No they do not, they dont even have the best receivers in the NFL now. That would be the Cardinals. Also, Jerry Rice and Terrel Owens were on the same team at one time. They have 3 #1 receivers.

Yup, a talented QB can make a bunch of decent WR's look like elite talent. I'd also rate Moss and Welker way above anything the Saints have.

That's your opinion. Anyway. I said it's arguable.

This thread is about Meachem and his ability, and how he would fit with the Panthers as a player on the field, and on the business side of things. Let's stay on task.

Consider the other comments when rating Meacham's ability. If he had tons, he would look amazing. Instead, he's not even close to the best they have. That's the kind of receiver Tampa Bay goes for, not us... ;)

Meacham = Colbert Jr.

Hiring Peyton (who looks to know what he is doing), bringing in Brees, Shockey, Bell, Vilma, Sharper, etc. makes me think that their FO (of which Peton is now a part) makes good decisions, and is working towards something. They don't seem to be dumb.

If Meachem sucked so much, then why---even amidst his average lack of production---would their FO deem it a good business decision to extend his contract (as well as Henderson's I might add)?

Furthermore, some of you would have been saying the exact same thing about (the other) Steve Smith, a couple of years ago.

BTW, no one in their right mind would extend Colbert anything but the door.

no it's not. you're an idiot. kill yourself.

he's tied in fifth in receptions for the Saints, and is basically their 7th option.

not a single team goes into the game planning to stop Robert Meachem.

He sucked at Tennessee and he sucks now.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
