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.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
