Poll: Which WRs make the team?

You ask Why would you keep meachum? After colston, how many regular season football games do the rest have combined? With out stlls I think it's one. And Stills is hurt right now. You don't put Brees in that position. You need to balance your receivers with young and experience. People Brees can trust. Coleman? Toon? No way. And graham is a TE who we can't afford to have Brees have to key on to move the ball

IMHO, Toon already missed a year of development because we brought back Meachem last year. Meachem had 14 catches for San Diego in 2012, so they cut him at great expense to their cap. Most were sure it was because SD didn't know how to use him like we did, and they didn't have a QB like Brees that was familiar with him and trusted him.

So, how did that work out for us and for Meachem? Back here with the familiarity and trust working for him, and a QB that hits anyone that can get open, he upped his total catches on the year to 16! I bet San Diego is still kicking themselves over their stupid mistake.

You don't need to waste a roster spot on a guy like that. Cut him and he'll be sitting at home waiting on a call if someone gets hurt later in the year. None of the other teams in the NFL wants a 30 year old receiver with numbers like that, that even after all this time in the league still can't catch with his hands. Did you see the pass in the end zone that bounced off his shoulder pads last night? We've seen that for years from Meachem, and I don't think with him turning 30 in Sept. that he's going to correct it.

Neither will he correct the fact that he disappears in games, despite supporters claiming he can still take the top off a defense. I tend to think the reason he's rarely targeted is because he's rarely open....but maybe I'm wrong. I'm interested in hearing your theory about why two of the better QB's in the NFL rarely threw to a guy that "can still take the top off a defense and catches everything thrown to him". What do you see that I'm not seeing?
