Marquez Callaway

Great write up and you made alot of good points. I would buy off on the Calloway narrative, if you can sell me on him being better than Deontay "mini Tyrek Hill" Harty. If it was me I would start MT13, Olave, and Harty with AK41 (speed and POWER). You can't cover that, somebody is open. With the OL being as good as it is and Jameis mobility. Its a first down or completion. BTW Calloway 46rec or 2.7 rec a game is pitful, (was our #1 WR (started all 17 games) last year and I had to scroll 3 pages on NFL WR stats to find him. Comparing LMo and Calloway is not fair. Remember Calloway went 13 games last year without getting at least 50 yards receiving not to mention getting blanked our last game of the year when we needed him the most. Just a thought.

When comparing a second year Callaway to a second year Moore…Callaway was definitely better. Callaway has flashed significantly the last two years, much more than Moore in his first two years. He made a lot of plays last year…and was easily our best WR in my opinion, as much as I like Harris, he can’t stay healthy at WR.

The problem Callaway had was that he isn’t a #1 WR, and was all the Saints had at WR. Do you know how much harder it is to separate against #1 NFL CBs versus slot CBs? Not to mention that the Saints passing offense was notoriously low volume, especially with Winston who only completely 15 passes a game. Then you have arguably the worst QB room in the NFL after Winston goes down. People are sore that Callaway didn’t live up fantasy God billing as a 2nd year UDFA…which is actually pathetic.

He’s a really good player, and as a #3 WR he’ll be really good. Not many guys are #1 WRs in this league, but that’s fine. He’s also a standout special teamer. I’m happy he’s a Saint and I still think that his better days are ahead now that he won’t get as much attention.
