Against the Jets he had 116 yards and two touchdowns, In the two games against Carolina he had 131 yards and 3 touchdowns.

And if he's being taken out of so many games, how did he end up with over 1200 yards for the season?

And if every one knows how to shut him out of games, how did he get 16 touchdowns? Which receivers can't get shut out? How many scores did they get?

He did indeed ... it's just that he needs to be elite against elite teams as well, such as Seattle or NE. They provided the blueprint on how to defend him after he was in beastmode early in the year. Tony Gonzales still found ways to get open and block against these same teams. Hopefully Grambeaux will figure it out this year after he irons out his contract.

We played Carolina twice. You got me with the Jets though.

Thing is, I like Jimmy Graham. I like what he has the potential to be. But I don't see a TE ever deserving $12 million a year. I don't even see a receiver outside of Megatron deserving that.

Yeah, I agree. I don't think his agent really expects to get 12 mill/year. I think there will be more than one team willing to pay 10 though.
