just a couple statements.Colston hands down. White gets the yards because Ryan stares him down all the time. I do give White credit though for bringing those floaters in, but at this point in their careers, Colston is the more productive all around player.
Colston has played 23 less games than white, but only has 15 less catches. Check above.
How many times do we see White push off to make a catch? its unbelievable he doesn't get flagged more. Colston has more TDs and he is putting these numbers up on a team that spreads the ball around A LOT. White gets a lot more looks. Like already mentioned, Matty Ice stares him down.
A Falcon who drops touchdown passes vs a money, sure handed saint.
Colston bascially played in like 9 games I wouldn't count his first game back at Carolina he was rusty and benched, he still got 700+ in like nine games that not bad, imagine if he was healthy this year there is no way he isn't the leading recevier in the NFL this season.
They are different WR's. Colston is a possesion guy, White is a game changer. It's a very close arguement. If I'm talking right now, I take Colston. If White has another year like '08, I take him.
and just to add to the white targets...88 of ryans 265 completions went to white. that doesn't include the drops and the fact that white was 3rd in the nfc in passes not caught this season when targeted, 60. so basically ryan averaged 17 completions per game this season, 35 percent of those completions went to white. again, that does not include the dropped or not caught passes. drew averaged 26 completions per game this season, but yet only 15 percent went to colston. something seems a little odd about that?
i might be a little biased, but everything i have said in this thread is a fact and i've gained this information from 17 weeks of film study of the saints and falcons.
the fact is, if you put colston in whites position he is putting up numbers the nfl has never seen.
