Having the second most passing yards in the league, finishing 4th in net yards per attempt, second in passing touchdowns really sucks, man.
Sometimes numbers can be deceiving & not tell the whole story. As long as Brees is able, the offense will put up passing numbers. The problems on the road were real & not something most of us imagined. The offense was awful at times on the road especially in the redzone & on 3rd down. Those are the areas where the lack of talent at receiver stood out the most.

Honestly, I think that our issues on the road were due to a number of factors, and WR was perhaps third in the top three.
Playcalling was #1.
Line play, particularly when Brown was in was #2.
WR separation was an issue, but playing at home or on the road has no bearing on whether a WR can get separation.
Something that no one has mentioned in this WR discussion is the potential evolution in our offense to more balanced attack rather than relying too heavily on the passing game. That doesn't eliminate the need to upgrade the position, and no one, not bonethug, not me, NO ONE has has said that it doesn't need to be upgraded.
What we are saying is that, while it's a position of need, it's not as high on the list as Center, Linebacker, or Corner. And maybe Safety.
But we're in a good position where we can draft BPA among those positions. At #27 we're probably going to take the highest rated WR, CB, or LB on our board. If we take a LB or CB, that doesn't mean that we're not seeing the WR position as "good". It just means that the player in that other position of need was rated higher.
And yes, I understand that I'll probably have to repeat that last paragraph on draft day.
