Former Saints GM Randy Mueller: Team Still Lacks Perimeter Threat

I think Mueller is aware of Shaheed and he's following normal football talk protocol by not mentioning him. One thing a coach or GM tries to avoid is over hyping a player. For two reasons, 1) to not look like a fool if the player busts and 2) and not to feed the ego of the rising player, because it may de-rail the players ascent. Both Shaheed and MT have something to prove first, before they gain my confidence. Shaheed flashed for sure at WR and was a huge improvement as a returner on our special teams. Prior to him we had nothing especially after Deonte Hardy was injured. The question still remains if Shaheed will continue to ascend, or sophomore slump his second year. Tbh, I think we're good if all he does is return kicks and punts because an elite returner is extremely valuable. It would be a bonus for him to also fill the #3 WR position. However, it would be better overall for the Saints if one of the young guys or Edwards etc. can earn the Wr3. Its a lot to ask of one player play both positions at an elite level year in and year out. Devin Hesters are rare. As for MT: My concern is, is it physically possible that he can stay healthy? Or is his medical status on a timer that, if not managed well, will re-occur? Or is he straight up good to go, where repetitive stress to the legs and feet will not increase the chances of re-injury?
Says we lack a threat and not identifying how we have people on the roster that we are hopeful can fill that need is either lazy or purposefully spiteful. Mueler is either phoning it in because he's spread thin, or he is sour grapes over being fired and wants to take any digs he could at the current management while and still have the overall tone of the article as "complementary."
