The Real Jimmy Graham?

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Jimmy is what he is what he is. He is a TE that can be elite for about 8 games from a year. Guess that's what Payton and Loomis wanted to spend their money on and that's what they got....

Well looky here. It appears that the membership of the JGHC (Jimmy Graham Haters Club) are gathering for their November meeting. What wrong, y'all? The team begin playing much better so you have to ***** about something else?

All I saw him do was jump over a Carolina safety enroute to 7 catches for 83 yards and a TD in the last game.

Wait...what's the problem with him again???

And he does it as well as any TE who's ever played the game!

Yeah. And for that contact.
But it would only take one lick

I wouldn't go that far. Not over the middle.

That's a good debate, ... you can't deny JG but you also have to take into consideration the way the game has changed and the role of the TE when talking about "all-time". Old school TE's like Ditka, Dave Casper, Charlie Sanders, et ... were undoubtedly 'tougher' than Graham but couldn't put up the production he does ... at least hypothetically without digging up a bunch of stats, .

Don't know about that, he's starting to come around and show some fire after the cheap shots...

He does need to be a more effective blocker, sans yellow flags...

Though I'd advise against head-butting the bench...
