I do know that he's had a tough life and has an attitude about his early childhood. But I prefer my athletes to be humble.

Jimmy a punk?...get outta here..this is the NFL...he takes all kinds of hits ..he better have an attitude or he will be toast...

Graham is the man at TE now..he can talk all he wants..and if your mama dropped you off with your clothes and said goodluck i dont want you..i think you would have a chip to..

Rugby has a good point, though.

Put up... and shut up. He left 40 yards on the field yesterday. Why don't I forgive him? Because he NEVER leaves 40 yards on the field.

He was PETRIFIED of first-contact yesterday. Once he got cracked once he settled down, but on-the-whole, Jimmy Graham DOES NOT like to be tackled.

I don't think he was afraid of the hit. I think he was prepping to get more, too soon, and as a result he got nothing. Regardless, at the end of the day he had yet another good game. It was a nice recovery for a guy who's still learning.

I LOVE Graham.

At the start of the season I would agree with this BUT he has come to prove his worth. I agree I Like my athletes humble (I still love players like Eddie George & Barry Sanders)

BUT Graham plays balls ot the walls & he is still young. PLUS I really like that fact that he does not have a million tatoos all over the place.

hopefully I am speaking for the 3 dissenters here when I say this:
We love Graham as a player, but just think he needs to tone it down a few notches.
He is still in the learning phase; by my count he made 5 pretty big errors yesterday. I'm all for an enthusiastic guy being intense, but he needs to hold on to the ball, stop running the wrong route, etc, before he does a Superman routine

People never cease to amaze..best TE in the league and y'all *****?..lawd lawd!...whats next..

I tell you what; that Grabowski or whatever'ski put on a clinic last night. That boy is TOUGH. I found myself wishing Graham had that kind of day yesterday.

Petrified? Did he tell you that?
This kid is an NFL TE. He's a big guy and I have not seen anything that shows fear on his part. In fact, I've only seen attitude and him trucking people. He didn't look the ball into his hands and now he's petrified of playing football.

He has had some bad drops this year. He's dropped more than most of the specialty players in the NFL for sure. I hate seeing it just like you do and hope that he cleans it up.

Do you know that 30 other teams wish that they had Graham? I wonder why you only work hard to complain about one of the best teams in the league all the time? The Saints are in the drivers seat in this division and has a week off to heal up and concentrate on one of the better, more complete teams in the league two weeks from now. I'm psyched!
