Saints' Midseason Report Card: Marques Colston is Offensive MVP
Through nine games, the Most Valuable Player for the offense (based on the highest GPA) is Marques Colston. I've listed all the GPAs below, ranking each offensive player from highest to lowest. I've also listed the player of the game awards.
You'll notice that only Brees and Moore have gotten Player of the Game awards twice, and no one has had it three times. Last year, through eight games, Brees had won it five times. You'll also notice that Zach Strief and Ladell Betts are currently in a dead heat for Least Valuable Player. Make the jump to see the numbers.

Andrew, I do agree with you that Colston is capable of winning this award, but not now. As you noticed, I’m not the only one that agrees that my man Lance Moore has this one once again. He runs quicker routes and gets open more than Colston. And yes he gets double covered alot also. If I’m correct, Lance along with only 2 other receivers in the entire NFL has been targeted at least 50 times and hasn’t dropped a pass.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Colston and would never, ever get rid of him. But as long as we have a healthy Lance Moore, Colston will have a hard time getting this award.
Also, Lance can do a pretty good dance after a touchdown, I’m not so sure about Colston.
A BIG WHO DAT GOES OUT TO LANCE.
Lance along with only 2 other receivers in the entire NFL has been targeted at least 50 times and hasn’t dropped a pass.
Don’t worry…I’m knocking on wood and rubbing my lucky rabbit’s foot for you.
I voted for Colston, but it was a tough choice..
however, what I was thinking is that our offense could be very productive without Moore ( we have seen that) even though we would miss him. I think we would have a tougher time ( this year) without Colston than without Moore. Just my opinion. I could be wrong- purely hypothetical as far as this season is concerned – re: no Reggie and no PT mostly.
BTW AJ- I liked the way you set up the poll. I think it’s better NOT to put the leading candidate as #1 selection- and #2 candidate as #2 selection. Maybe even alphabetical order would be better.
If Pro is the opposite of Con, what is the opposite of Progress? Congress!

If u throw a catchable ball to Lance, weather it’s 1,2, or 3 defenders, he will most likely catch it. And like I said before, I love Colston, but I just have more confidence in Lance. I’ve seen Colston, for tall as he is, drop quite a few balls, don’t u agree?
To make a choice, it would be no problem picking Lance over Colston as far as keeping a receiver.
I like Lance also, he is a tough mobile player that is Drew’s go-to man. When he checks down field, and Colston is covered, he throws it to Lance. I have seen the dropped passes from Colston, and I have to agree that I believe Lance would have come down with those balls. I don’t see Colston having the heart in the game like he used to. It seems to me he is just going through the motions. Lance seems to be playing like this is the last year in his contract and he is fighting for his job, each and every game. The dude’s got heart.
