Colston - AWESOME game!

Um...What makes Jerry Rice the best EVER, is longevity and consistency. You can't say someone is the next anyone within 9 games. It took Jerry Rice 246 games to EARN that title. How can you just give it to Colston because he's had an awesome first 9 games.

IIRC the first post on this thread asked if anyone saw the next Jerry Rice playing for the Saints.

I think what the OP was trying to say is that this guy COULD be the next JR.....he has a similar skill set, plays in the WCO and has a great QB who loves getting him the ball.

We've never had a player with this much potential at Wideout.....Horn was already a Vet when we got him....and I know that Chandler and others were good......a franchise where Eric Martin was considered the best up until 2000 has an admittadly low criteria for "best ever". I know Joe has done alot as a Saint but the original spirit of this post was "potential"........and Colston could match what Horns done in 5 years if he keeps his performance at the level it's at now......and oh yea......Brees needs to stay healthy as well!

Hey, it's a good conversation to have. Before the season we were worried about who would take the mantle from Horn when he retired...it seems we've found our answer in a 7th round pick from Hofstra!

I love the NFL!!
