Is Marques Colsten the best receiver in Saints history?

He leads all-time in yards and receptions but also targets and games. So is he a by product of playing in a pass happy offense/era or is he truly the best?
I know they've had Eric Martin, Danny Abramowicz, Joe Horn, and then it starts to look bleak with Donate Stallworth, Robert Meachum, Torrance Small, Revert Henderson, Lance Moore, Quinn Early, and others.

Seems fitting for you to be the one to point that out.
But yeah Colston is definitely the best receiver we've ever had. Thomas has a shot at it but WAY too early to call that one.

I think as far as body of work, definitely. I'm sure a case could be made for Martin but his stats definitely won't show it, but chalk that up to Bobby and Carl.

Colston? yes
Posted on 3/11/17 at 12:39 pm to saintsfan92612
Seriously, Horn was legit. It is close, if not flat-out incorrect.
Posted on 3/11/17 at 12:45 pm to lsutigers1992
and he only had 1 year with Drew when he was 34
Posted on 3/11/17 at 12:50 pm to saintsfan92612
Loved me some Joe Horn. Miss that guy even though he went to the dirty birds but he got run out of town.

Was there for one season and hated being there. He came back quick to his home in Ormond estates out there in St. Rose. lol

Oh yeah. I know. Started selling BBQ too I think. Great guy.

Hands down.

Well shite, with the way our fanbase is reacting to the trade, you'd think it'd be Cooks, right?
Posted on 3/11/17 at 1:11 pm to Rand AlThor
They just pissed cause they think they could have got more for Cooks and feel NE screwed them. lol
Posted on 3/11/17 at 1:13 pm to t00f
yeah, that's right, he does sell BBQ. lol

Not really. Look up a few posts. It really comes down to numbers and personal preference there.

Is that career or just with the Saints?
If Horn was with us his whole career him and Colston would be 1A and 1B, but he wasn't which is why it's clearly Colston.

I say yes. Colston without doubt, but IMO. I love Horn too. 87 was a beast for us.
