Jimmy Graham or help on our offensive line??

dueceloose · 12-22-2013, 10:32 PM

Maybe we can get like 3 Cam Jordan potential players for the oline

1-At the very least we tag Jimmy Graham
2-We have players that we can develop on our roster already, f*ck sakes.

You know you've lost faith when you start talking about next year.

Alaska

While I agree, and I would add not flexing or show-boating after EVERY play, I think teaching him how to block would be more beneficial to the offense. He's a complete non-factor in the run game.

O-Line and possibly some new receivers. I love Lance, Meach, etc. but, whatever -- they need to get off the line and get open. That's their job. That includes Jimmy Graham. I think the last third of his season has not helped his contract negotiations.

'Or' is not the solution at all.
"And" might be.

So I take the latter.

Rebuild the front line at all costs and worry about Graham later or let him walk. If the front line is not rebuilt, then it's time to let Brees walk too.

O-line road graders, Stills is going to be good people another deep threat in the later rounds could go a long way. I'm not against trading our 1st for more picks at all this next draft and trade a few players for players or more picks. Remember we will be running a 3-4 D next season also.

We are one of the top spending teams in the league every year... there's no reason why we can't do both. We are not a team that's afraid of adding payroll. We have a legit two year window to go to another Superbowl. We'll do what it takes to capitalize on it.

I'm gonna be honest here but if we don't get to a sb Graham may bolt for a better sb contender(such as an elite AFC team that is a TE away) regardless of how much money we offer. I could see Pittsburgh, Indianapolis making a play for him and in the NFC Atlanta will as well as Detroit and Green Bay. I feel we need to show Graham we can get him a ring to keep him here. Because those owners will be in Graham's ear manipulating the heck out of him to leave us. You know Blank is gonna bring up Jones and Jackson and Whitherspoon and Thompson will talk about Nelson, Cobb, Rodgers, and Matthews. We have to make a statement for him.
