Five Reasons Someone Will Steal Jimmy Graham from the Saints

voodooido · 06-10-2014, 10:12 PM

In 2009 the Saints rushed for 2106 yards on 468 carries. Avg of 4.5 per carry
In 2013 the Saints rushed for 1473 yards on 391 carries. Avg of 3.8 per carry.

Balanced team. JG CAN NOT BLOCK

I would put quite a bit of money on the fact that you couldn't. Graham is not your prototypical blocking TE. His value as a playmaker FAR, FAR outweighs any perception that he can't block. I would much rather have a player that can catch over 100 passes, score over 15 TD's and receive for over 1000 yards than have an extra freaking offensive tackle. The Saints are a better team with Graham on the field than they are without him on the field. THAT is a fact.

Your past couple posts proves that you can't help but be a ass. When looking at your posts through out the site you spend more time arguing than anything. Home life suck so you have to argue here? This is a place for Saints fans to post and LEARN from others without being spoken down to. I'm sure many other sites with love to have your asinine posts. As for this site it is full of grownups who love the Saints and want to show support for there team.

PS: Gronk can block and is a playmaker. That is what we could use. Not a show boat who is demanding Drew Brees money.

My god! Are you for real? And exactly why do those numbers have anything to do with Jimmy Graham? The offensive line, the fullback and the offensive play calling have far more influence in the running game than a TE. You do realize that Graham was split from the shoulder of the OT around 60% of the plays, right? Didn't think so ... or if you did you didn't realize the relevance. It is pretty damned difficult for the TE to be involved in the blocking game when the coaching staff has him out in that position.

In other words, the Saints ran a totally different offence in 2009 than they did last year.

Yes, here it comes again ...

It is spelled OFFENSE.

I have not heard Graham demand anything. Gronk is a continuously injured player. If you had truly looked at my posts throughout the site you would know differently. But, I will argue a point with someone that I know is wrong.

I disagree with the playmaker statement because a playmaker produces and overcomes. Grahams been shut out by corners before, where were his playmakingt abilities then. I also disagree that we are better with him on the field. He is no more than a product of Paytons system. If he leaves he could easily be replaced by a traditional TE( one that does what a TE does) and a little different playcalling we wouldn't miss a beat and would be better as a O.

I disagree completely. He has been shutdown a couple of times by extremely physical corners that got away with more than would normally be allowed. There is not another TE in the league that could have done anything more under those circumstances. And, replacing him with a traditional TE would mean one less real threat in the passing game. Graham has led the entire league in receiving TD's over the past two seasons. That is huge!

If you truly believe we wouldn't miss a beat then you do not know football.

Payton isn't going to lose one of his favorite chess pieces.
