I'm still not high on TQS, but Winston's deep ball may change that. Speaking like a true fan. I think its wishful thinking. Michael Thomas and or the. Saints are knuckleheads. Why wait till June to have surgery he had plenty of time to make the call not a month before camp, that is just to crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why wait till June to have surgery he had plenty of time to make the call not a month before camp, that is just to crazy. I stated it as an opinion, take it for what it's worth. Some fans are high on TQS, some are high on Callaway. I'm just going by what I've seen on the field and reading between the lines a little on what coaches and players have said. TQS has had many opportunities to step up and has been pretty ho-hum when given those opportunities. Maybe that's the fault of the offense, maybe the fault of the QB, maybe he just wasn't ready yet. The only thing I know is that when I've seen Callaway play I've been very impressed with his limited sample size and players/coaches heap praise on him. The same goes for Trautman. In the limited opportunities that I saw him get last year, he's impressed me and I think that's he's also impressed the coaches enough that they didn't otherwise address the TE position. As for Thomas, not knowing the whole situation it's easy to criticize. He may have already had surgery and it didn't fix the issues. The issue may have been healing and then re-injured in the offseason. There's plenty of explanations as to why he's having surgery in June and the organization has never been one to give up information on injuries when it is not specifically required. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LordOpie 2,822 Posted August 7, 2021 What?! Just fine?! NOLA.com's Jeff Duncan reports WR Marquez Callaway has been the "breakout star" of Saints camp. "There’s a belief inside the building that the offense will be just fine without [Mchael] Thomas," writes Duncan, citing Callaway's position in the offense. Callaway has been the subject of plenty of hype in the wake of Thomas' ankle surgery and Tre'Quan Smith's latest leg injury. The second-year UDFA out of Tennessee, Callaway has spent time as an understudy in New Orleans who received extended looks on offense last season when Thomas was initially hurt, catching 21 passes for 213 scoreless yards as a rookie. Callaway's fantasy ADP is on the rise and looks like the Saints wideout to roster early in the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevegrab 1,431 Posted August 18, 2021 13 hours ago, LordOpie said: Anything here? KEVIN WHITEWR, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS Saints signed WR Kevin White, formerly of the 49ers 25 catches, for 285 yards and no scores on 48 targets over 5 seasons (one without a stat recorded), with about 2/3 of that coming in his rookie season. I'd say that's just a camp body or a desperate move. Yes he was a first round pick of the Bears, but seemed to flame out pretty quickly (or was always injured, or didn't contribute so he never saw the field, or even the active roster much in 2020.

darin3 1,695 Posted August 23, 2021 I'm coming around on Tre'Quan Smith, especially in best ball formats. If nothing else he should have the occasional big game if Winston is the starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If nothing else he should have the occasional big game if Winston is the starter. As a dynasty owner who had many shares of Smith, I will say that that's the only format where I'm remotely interested in him. He is Jermichael Finley 2.0 (been on the verge of breaking out for the past 3 years now). He will have 2-3 big games this year, almost guaranteed. But, he'll have twice that many games where he absolutely disappears. PPR monster he is not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm making my call now... James Winston will be a top 10 QB this year and going forward. NOS should sign him to an extension before this because he'll then require a large contract. Consider 2019 and what 2020 would've been for him if he threw 10 INTs instead of 30. I think he can repeat 2019 with much less turnovers. And he's 27yo. I wanted Denver to get him. Why do I think less turn overs? LASIK and better coaching. 22 minutes ago, League_Champion said: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
