PFF loved Tanner in the preseason.

The dude was always open.

I am the only one who thinks that although Colston may have lost a step, Brees locked on to Jimmy Graham no matter if he was double or triple covered??....I fail to believe that between Colston, Moore, and Stills, none of them could get separation.
Not saying we don't need a WR, I just think Brees locking on to JG also played a part as well.

How pathetic our receivers were this season. Teams were able to put #1s and double cover our TE without having to worry about a WR to make them pay. We should be wanting that matchup. Colston is a #2 now, stills should be a good one. It's time to get rid of Moore


In 5 games against 3 of the top 5 defenses in the league Colston had 34 catches for 439 yards. That is right about 7 catches for 90 yards per game. This includes 2 games with more than 125 yards.

The fact is that in a combined 52 games the 49ers, Seahawks, and Panthers allowed a total of 14 guys to have more than 100 receiving yards in a game. Now guess who has 2 of those 14...... Colston.

I bet the Saints and Panthers are the only 2 teams in the league that had to play 5 games against top 5 defenses and 7 games against top 10 defenses.

Won't happen. Beckham and Matthews from Vandy could be our best options at that point.

We need some physicality at WR to be able to match up with DB's such as Sherman and Revis

They are paid to shut down the best. We need quality depth so the 2nd 3rd and fourth reads can get open. Add in better line play as well.

Graham definitely got punked by seattle and the WRs get absolutely no separation.. but a big part of the blame goes on Brees. Brees couldn't throw 8 yards down the field.. The pass to meachem should've been an EASY interception.

Payton's predictable play calling didn't help.. run on 1st and 2nd down, try to throw to Graham at the 1st down marker on 3rd down. Sea was able to double Graham or sit on the short routes due to Brees lack of arm strength/protection of oline.

The problem is bigger than Graham and the receivers..

I agree before we upgrade WR the oline needs to be addressed. Losing Kromer was the biggest hit the offense this year.

We lucky Drew didnt get hurt pretty bad with way the oline played this year.

It really makes me happy that everyone eye's are finally open about our WR corps. We've been relying on Drew's insane accuracy for so long. I still think Moore is a viable slot guy. Colston is good but doesn't really scare anyone. And Jimmy is a creampuff and while always a legit redone threat, really disappears when he isn't being played one on one.

I don't really have the answers besides stating the obvious. But even top first round WRs are coin flips. WR is probably the most missed on pick year in an year out.

nothing to do with the 25+ mph swirling winds. They couldn't throw the ball down field, which is why we tried to run it

Brees is too old to play at home but manages to find the fountain of youth in the Dome. In summary, you are an idiot
