Getting past the whole 14th in yards in league right now, look at his receptions to target numbers comparative to the top 20ish in the league.

There's nobody that comes close to his %, 65 catches 84 targets. I'll credit, route running, hands, ability to attack the ball, oh and that guy Drew Brees who takes up our salary cap.

Oh and 7 Td's puts him tied for 5th in the league as a rookie

That TD catch over the 2 defenders was a thing of beauty.

His last TD yesterday where he carries the rams db into the endzone was fricking awesome. Michael Thomas will be a top 5 NFL receiver for several years.

Hopefully we lock him up as soon as we can give an extension. Guy loves the game and wants to win. He's a competitior

his AVG has gone up steadily this season as well.

Poor snead, now a lowly WR3...lol

At the moment, the top 4 guys are on pace for:
Thomas: 1148/10
Cooks: 1070/9
Snead: 889/6
Fleener: 670/4


Have yal seen coleman's numbers though??
20 receptions, 26 targets, 226 yards, 3 TDs

I said it in another thread, this trio of Cooks-Thomas-Snead could be very special. Letting Fleener get in on the fun could rival the 2013 Denver Squad if they progress and stay healthy.

D. Thomas: 1430/14
E. Decker: 1288/11
J. Thomas: 788/12
W. Welker: 778/10

43 of his receptions have resulted in 1st downs.. That's 5th in the league and downright fricking impressive.

I love how he uses his size to absolutely bully corners for YAC

I was laughed at by more than one group of friends for being so excited about him falling to us. Whole bunch of "I told you so's" everytime I run into them. Guy is going to be elite for us. He's already producing at an extremely high level and is work ethic is out of this world. Hope he is a Saint for a long time.

He's good and he's becoming one of my favorite players on this team. Gotta love his attitude and the way he plays.

So glad we went for a WR early. It seemed wrong but right.

Coleman has been great as of lately.

As long as we play complementary football on both sides, we are pretty damn good.

Hearing Thomas speak his reaffirms that he gets it

Having brees and His 70+% comp percentage tossing you balls helps a lot too.

When it's said and done Brees will be responsible for two of the better rookie WR seasons in recent memory w colston and Thomas

The best thing that could have happened for him, happened. He is never going to be starter-quality and not having that pressure on him lets him really focus on just doing his job.

The kid is fricking fantastic at run blocking. Seriously. I've seen him blow some guys up out there more than once.
