Is MT the best WR to ever suit up for the Saints? (1 Viewer)

What say you? To me, if he remains healthy it’s a no brainer. I also think he can make the HOF.

Brees can make anyone look better than they are, but it's easy to see MT is the man. A bigger faster Colston that seemingly has no weaknesses... we are witnessing greatness at the position.

The best! Without a doubt.

 

[SaintSeb]

Yes and it's not even close really.

Bold prediction:
Landslide victory for 'He already is'

Agree M.T great. He makes Drew and Bridge look great.

I would have liked to see what Eric Martin would have been able to do with a good offensive team.

I’ve been around to see Eric Martin, Joe Horn, & Marques Colston (too young to see Abramowitz).

All great players. Joe Horn is still my favorite Saint of all-time. And injuries really hampered his career. I would’ve loved to see him play in his prime with Payton & Brees.

But Michael Thomas is clearly and objectively the greatest Saints WR of all-time. Not really debatable.

It is not even close. I saw Eric Martin, Colston and Joe Horn play.....they are not even in the same ballpark with Thomas.

Well, Colston was bigger. And I’m not sure about the speed comparison either.

But MT is clearly the superior athlete, route-runner, & has more dependable hands (& Colton’s were very good).

He’s had the greatest first 4 years of any receiver ever - and year 4 is only half done

So, yes

 

[fnholmes]

What is scary is that he is doing it without a complimentary receiver. Megatron and Rice always had a solid secondary receiver as well as a receiving RB. Sky is the limit.

That's correct, Colston was bigger and faster. Just for comparison of the names being thrown around in this thread.

Colston 4.57
Thomas 4.54
Horn - he said he left the game running a 4.42
Martin - 4.65

This is a great article on Martin. MT might be a bigger, faster modern day Eric Martin.
