Sucks, but counterpoint is there was only two years where he had a legit case.

Believe he has the words tattooed on his arms

if i remember right, it was his teammates that dubbed him that for being so under-the-radar yet a baller.

If Colston had the career he did except in a silver helmet with a blue star not only would he have made the Pro Bowl every year we’d be talking about him making the NFL HoF not just the team’s HoF. He arguably is the most underrated player in the history of the NFL. I’m just glad someone outside of Saints noticed.

I don’t know, but Joe Horn called him “Coco”

I think it's just one year if you put the numbers up against other receivers in the league. Year 2 his 98 catch season.

He was totally robbed in 2007.

Tgt Ctch Ctch% Yds Yds/C TD
Marques Colston 143 98 68.5% 1202 12.3 11
Donald Driver 122 82 67.2% 1048 12.8 2

Then there was 2010, close call but Colston had higher Catch%

Marques Colston 131 84 64.1% 1023 12.2 7
Miles Austin 119 69 58.0% 1041 15.1 7

2011
Marques Colston 107 80 74.8% 1143 14.3 8
Greg Jennings 101 67 66.3% 949 14.2 9

2012
Marques Colston 130 83 63.8% 1154 13.9 10
Larry Fitzgerald 156 71 45.5% 798 11.2 4


So let me amend my statement, he was totally robbed 3 times, and another yea was kind of a coin flip. I also think one of those years he was pretty close with Brandon Marshall.

He and Fred Taylor were disrespected so much when it came to this

That's the year I was talking about. His second season 2007. It's the only year you can make a case for though.

 

[SaintsFanatic]

geez. why on earth do you guys care about the pro bowl so much? It means nothing. Most voters are clueless.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

MC one of my favorite ever. And I miss TPS. He was a great poster and was great meeting him.

What about 2012? Fitz got in on name alone. Also 2011 Jennings only beat Colston in by a single TD catch, every other stat Colston was better

You are making the common mistake of saying "player x shouldn't have gotten in this year so Colston should've gotten in." You aren't looking at the other players that didn't get in those years that had better seasons than Colston.

2012 Colston was 13th among WRs in catches, 13th in yards, and tied with four other receivers for 6th in TDs.
2011 Coston was tied for 8th (with Fitzgerald) among WRs in catches, 12th in yards, and tied with 10 other receivers for 12th in TDs.
