Not WRs but no love for Gates,LT and Jimmy Graham?
:dahell:
But were not talking about TE or RB. It seems like you guys have poor reading comprehension...this thread is about Wide Receiver.

Brees is gonna retire be top 3-5 in every major Passing Category and the best WR he ever had is Marques Colston

Jimmy Graham, Antonio Gates, Jeremy Shockey all have the label of "Tight End" on them, but the way they were used when Drew Brees played with the last two (and currently with Jimmy), they're much more of a hybrid TE/WR. They split out wide, line up in backfield in certain sets, and also can run routes starting with their hand in the dirt as a traditional TE.


So to answer your question, yes he has

but in the saints offense an rb is basically a receiver, and in everyones offense anymore good tight ends are just as big of passing assets as receivers.

Point of the thread just stands, saints won their SB without Graham.

Most prolific WR the saints actually got was Robert Meachem. Most proflic skill player on the saints offense, aside from Brees was Reggie Bush.

Saints stay collecting misfit toys from around the league like Sproles, Lance Moore and Chris Ivory before turning them into productive play makers. Sean Payton is one of the best offensive minds in football

ehh........it's more about the system, scheme and equal distribution than simply having a monster WR.
This. PPL on this site routinely show how clueless they are. First if all, The term "Pro Bowl" means nothing. The whole idea of the Pro Bowl is a joke, and using that to rate a players ability is asinine. Put up all WRs and TEs for draft, and Jimmy Graham will be one of the first names off the board.

Second of all, in very many cases, QBs make WRs, not the other way around. Sure there's always exceptions (I'm looking at you Calvin Johnson), but there's a perfect case study for this year in Greg Jennings. PPL talk about him being a "weapon" for Rodgers, yet he goes to Minnesota, and has completely disappeared. Did he get worse? Was he THAT much better in Green Bay? No, the guy throwing him the ball got worse. See how that works? Same thing with a Fitz, and look at Andre Johnson this year. Both are always high on the "Best WR in the League" lists, and neither have played like it. Why do you think that is?

Off that same point, elite QBs get more out of guys than average QBs do. Rodgers/Brady/Manning/Brees all elevate WRs to higher levels. Look at all the guys Manning has made "viable" NFL WRs/TEs. Guys leave for greener pastures, and turn into shyt (Deion Branch, the aforementioned Jennings, Hell, former Saint Robert Meachem can fit in here).

So I cringe whenever I hear how a QB has all these "weapons". Like Manning. All them "weapons", and only one was remotely close to being a household name before he got his hands on 'em. Rodgers is always pointed at as being surrounded by weapons, yet he's got 2 practice squad players putting in legitimate time, and one of them is having the kind of year that, pretty soon, he will be one of ARods "many weapons". Same damn thing with Brees. That offense is basically a plug-n-play. Whether you put Dez Bryant or Joe Smith in New Orleans, you know what would happen? He'd be open just as much as Colston or Lance Moore is.

So. Cal
Brees makes those WR's. Imagine if he had the weapons like Peyton Rodgers Ryan even Brady with Gronk and Romo with Dez..


:dwillhuh:


Rodgers is in the same boat. he doesnt have an elite WR, just a bunch of good ones. Well atleast he did until these nikkas got injured :sadcam:


But he still making Practice Squad nikkas look like All pro WR's :salute:

Jordy Nelson :patrice:

Cobb when healthy isn't a bad number 2. And when James Jones isn't dropping passes he's above average. :yeshrug:

Jordy was a nobody though. he came up in 2010. He has nice hands i can give him that though.
