If Graham could run over CBs who he outweighs by 50lbs or more in many occasions who knows how many receiving yards he could add up.

Hard to run over someone when they take your legs out from under you, happens 80% of the time...

They don't have to "take your legs out from under you" when you go down to your knees as soon as contact is "about" to happen. You've done their job for them. Just saying!

*****ing about going down to early from a player who was the #1 TE in yards, #15 WR in yards and led everyone in TDs. Just Sayin'!

The only times I see Graham going to his knees are when Brees throws the ball to a spot where only Graham can catch. Nine times out of ten the play results in a first down. I just can't understand this Graham hatred when any other team in the league would love to have him. Get over it.

Hatred? I have a this car, right? And i mean it's bad to the bone, an head-turner and every time I'm in it I feel like I'm the only person on the road. Power is unmatched, the body style is out of sight. and the wheels? "look at dem mutha grabbing wheels!" - Menace to Society. But you know what, every time i get in it i have to drop $70 worth of petro in it because it's a gas guzzler and it pisses me the hell off and I'm cursing it each and every time i have to twist off the gas cap. Now, do i have "hatred" for my vehicle, ummmm hell no! Wouldn't trade it for any other on the road. And just because others would love to drive it and claim it as their own, does not negate the fact that it's still a damn GAS GUZZLER!

Then it sounds to me like you are an unhappy individual that is incapable of being satisfied by what he has. It sounds like an individual that is always wanting more when he already has the best. You are wanting a "Menace to Society" than get 40 miles to the gallon. Sorry, but there is no such thing. You want a TE that can run and catch like an elite WR and can block like an elite offensive tackle. Sorry, but there is no such thing.

You need to learn that there are costs associated with having what one wants. I for one am tickled pink that the Saints have the premier offensive threat at TE in the NFL.

I think all Saints fans love Jimmy Graham. Personally I think he's as physically gifted as Megatron. He hasn't been playing football for very long and he's used the skills he developed playing basketball to thrive as a pass receiver. But you can't learn to run block, stiff arm or steamroll defensive backs playing basketball. Hoping that he continues to develop and improve doesn't mean we don't like him.
