The Saints offense spent another year hovering in the top 5 in a litany of statistical categories. Yet I can’t shake the feeling, especially during the little dip in productivity near the end of the season, that there was something or someone missing.
That feeling was the lack of reliable play from a 3rd receiving option with Ted Ginn Jr. out for most of the year. I almost feel guilty thinking this way. Michael Thomas is arguably the best receiver in the league and Alvin Kamara is one of maybe 3 running backs who actually move the needle for his teams offense.
