Is Michael Thomas already the best WR in Saints history?

I will always be a Marques Colston apologist considering how underrated I feel he was throughout his whole career by a lot of people around the league

but at this point I'd make them 1A & 1B

The dude is a monster. I’d say he’s the Saints GOAT receiver.

He's had an awesome year, but Colston was so clutch for many years.

No




I’ll always go Joe Horn...



Look what he did with Aaron Brooks.. imagine him with a good quarterback

Longevity wise I’d still give the nod to Colston...for now.

As a player in any given game or season...no question, Thomas is the best

Most talented. Colston and Eric Martin are the only ones with an argument for having a better career

I like him a lot. I hope that doesn’t change in a couple years when he demands $20mm/yr.

Talent wise he obviously is. When he signs his second contract and plays his 7th/8th year here he'll have every Saints' receiving record ever shattered.

But currently Colston is still tops because he has more years on task, but assuming Thomas gets that time he'll easily pass him. And I say that as someone who admires guys like Colston and PT dearly. Those guys will never be truly fully appreciated.

I feel like the "Next Jerry Rice" statement is thrown around too much, but damn there are so many similarities it's kind of scary. Violent catching ability that helps him get space and run with the football. Speedy when it counts and is smart enough to read coverage. Going to be one hell of a ride watching him play.

Close. If he keeps on producing he will blow all the records away.

It’s def Jimmy Hraham but Thomas is close. If Thomas wins a super bowl then he has a good chance at being #1

Did not know this from Wiki.

They mention it fairly often (every couple of games or so).

He definitely got his "swag" from his uncle. Hopefully he stays a little less knuckleheaded.
