I love him but its time to Smoove on.

Just doesn't seem to care.

Saints will let him finish the year and he will retire...nothing but respect from both parties to each other

Nobody believed Drew was gonna pass to Colston on that last play, Waldon just shoved him out of the way to make on Spiller.

How much money will the Saints save by releasing him next year?

He cares, but his body is failing him.

Who is this Marcus Colston cat everyone's talking about?

Let's for one second say that he does make those catches that he dropped. Those are just his hands...a lack of concentration, maybe? If he makes those catches, he's still somewhat relevant. He made a great catch over the middle just before the catch to ice the game.

I think he's in a sharp decline, I think he cares a lot, and I think he'll have a bit of a resurgence. Nothing spectacular, but he'll be reliable again soon.

This is the end, though. It's very apparent.

I think it's the big shots he's taken to his hands/wrist area over the years. If I recall correctly, he's been on the injury report the last few seasons with hand/wrist aliments. Maybe those injuries have lead to a weakening of his hands/wrist which isn't allowing him to make some of those catches he once did or hold onto the ball through contact.

I talked with Jimmy back in 2012 before he got paid and he basically said the same thing.

Drew would look at him in the huddle and would say something to the effect of its going to be a big play if you can hang on...look at you your big you can take it.

Jimmy said it laughing because it was off season at the time and he even recalled it with Drew's annoying optimism it actually made me laugh and feel bad for him at the same time.
