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.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
