Saints reporters think Lynn Bowden Jr. could pick up some of Taysom’s touches vs Panthers

Half of the primary skill players are injured. Bowden’s not a bum. If Pete utilized his versatility early on instead of having him strictly block, it wouldn’t seem unordinary to see him discussed. Thats on the OC’s lack of creativity.

While I would never call any NFL player a "bum" as the amount of talent it takes just to make it there is astounding, you do realize that prior to this year his last NFL touch came in 2020? Where he averaged 7.5 yards per reception and 3.6 yards per carry?

This is a Saints board, where any topic is worthy of discussion. I'm not claiming Bowden may not do great things out there today - I hope he does! - but the mere possibility that the Saints have to use him to replace our most dynamic playmaker is a depressing thought. But that's just where we are right now.
