re: Can we officially call Meachem a BUST now?

Moore wasn't so great his 1st couple seasons, and now look at him. Meachem deserves the same amount of time

Ummmm no, he doesn't. Have you forgotten that Moore was an undrafted free agent and Meachem was a 1st round draft pick??

Lance Moore is 25 years old and Robert Meachem is 24. It's not like Meachem is some young buck and Lance is a seasoned vet. Lance is 5'9 185 with average speed. Meachem has twice as many tools but doesn't get the job done.

I'm not saying he's a bust, but Meachem isn't gonna be a very big asset for us ever. I really don't know how people can't see that. Colston isn't going anywhere, Moore is obviously one of Brees' favorite targets, then having guys like Reggie, Shockey, and Billy Miller will take playing time away from him.

No, but it's actually laughable thinking he's gonna do that. Before the season people were saying he was gonna put up those numbers and I laughed. I'm still laughing. He has 8 catches, and 6 or 7 of them are him just running past people which when having a good qb is one of the easier things to do when you're really fast.

So he's gonna go from dressing out 0 games, to dressing out 13 games or so with 8-10 catches, then he's gonna have 50 catches...is that what I'm hearing?

Meachem is no worse than many of the Saints past 1st Round picks, which means he's pretty much a bust.

I would take Bowe over Meachump in a second.

So would KC. That's why we didn't have a chance to draft him.

NFL receivers normally take three years to start to really contribute and become big time players in the league. Too early to call him a bust, but his resume so far points in that direction.

I doubt Meachem is ever the first look on a play though. Drew usually gets rid of it before even looking to Meach's side the field. He was open several times last night and could have made plays...just no oppurtunites.
