Another Thumbs Up For Meachem (and other NFC South WRs/QBs)

When I stated earlier this season that perhaps we should try and deal for Robert Meachem, some Huddle geniuses basically told me that Meachem was a glorified afterthought of a receiver on the Saints offense who was just benefiting from defensive coordinators neglecting him in their game plan (which IMO is ludicrous).

Now, I must admit that perhaps Meachems's catch percentage says more about Brees than Meachem, but the receiver is the one who has to get open, and---more importantly---catch the rock.

Marques Colston ain't going anywhere, Lance Moore is going to return (and apparently is thought by many Saints fans to have the best hands on the team), and Devery Henderson is locked up until 2012, while Meachem's contract ends in 2011. Can they possibly lock all these guys up? Someone is going to look for more playing time and/or virtually upset that applecart (and I am thinking Meachem is going to be that guy).

BTW, not to be overlooked, I wonder what these stats say about the Panthers... ... ... ... ...:rolleyes: ... ... ... ...

Moore will be gone by next year most likely and Meachem will probably be our #2. No chance that he is dealt.

Well, why do some saints fans believe that Moore is not going anywhere? I have read several posts on the web saying that he has the best hands on the team. Moreover, who said that Meachem wants to be in a virtual WR horse stable for years to come?

Some Saints fans hate to see any player go, Moore does have great hands but he isn't on the level of Colston and Meachem is looking like a much better all around receiver.

Perhaps, you're right. I have read some saying that they don't think the Saints are going to let any of their receivers go. But, Moore is apparently a favorite of Brees and is not exactly a flavor-of-the-month guy like Meachem has been viewed (until recently). I can EASILY see Moore being the number 2 guy when he gets back to 100 percent, and Brees does love the guy.

      Injury report

      By CRA · Posted

      Immediately cast blame? We had been talking about the bad throws to Hunter (the missed TDs and hospital ball) for days leading up to that injury report.   And yeah, the rib injury then becomes something to point out.  and you are getting desperate with this projected extremism.  No one  said you should never throw seams.  I shared with you an article after you scoffed at seams being routes you can get hung out to dry on….and it was the best of the best talking about the dangers of those routes.   And they talked about it because they threw them a lot and there dudes were at risk so the throws really matter.  Because you can hurt your receivers.  we disagree, cool.  I got a pro Bryce former NFL QB calling it a hospital ball and bad throw.  So I got a plus +1 making my argument.  Find a QB that backs your take.

      You exclusively highlighted Hunter's name on the injury report and then immediately cast blame. I've pointed out that this wasn't the hospital ball you claim it to be while also acknowledging that there could have been another option to target instead of Renfrow. By everything you've expressed here, you don't think seam routes should ever be thrown. I don't know how that helps the already struggling offense, but I do know that it would make it even worse than it already is. Scapegoating never has and never will solve anything. Tell you what: Try not blaming Bryce or casting shade his way for the entire week after Arizona and instead look at the other 21 starters and assess what they're doing (again, without shading Bryce). I'll join you and refrain from exploring what the rest of the team is doing and will focus solely on what Bryce needs to do better. Deal? This is a sincere peace offering to allow us to explore the other's perspective and perhaps be even more informed football fans.

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By CRA · Posted

      TMac PI throw was a TD too.  Bryce just drastically under threw it.  Renfrow and TMac set themselves up to BOTH have great days.   the story of last of no one was open…..isn’t a defense the Bryce Young defenders can use so far this year
