Re: Jimmy Graham Contract

Top to bottom, we've got the best WR corps in the league and best TE corps in the league...

As I've been a Graham fan since I saw him in his first camp, I've been equally disappointed in how he disappeared down the stretch which much of that is due to the torn plantar fascia tendon...

My concerns are his agent, their demands, and committing that much quan with the unknown of his recovery from said injury; sucked for him but San Diego strung out Gates till they got the deal they wanted, but Gates prime came and went quick...

Worth pointing out while we're bashing Graham for disappearing down the stretch, some of it deserved, let's not forget the man played through a torn plantar fascia...

I'm just not happy with Graham's choice of agent and that agent's personality of being Galactus, Destroyer of Salary Caps - I'd be happy if we franchised, non exclusive this season and see how things shake out from there while we draft a TE in this year's draft to keep transitioning...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

And for that reason alone I don't give him much flack for not getting separation. It doesn't however excuse gator-arms or the high drop rate, in 2012 he lead the league in drops. Then there is the subjective opinion that he waits for the ball to come to him instead of going get it.

He is actually the receiver Drew throws the most INTs when being targeted.
