this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; @ Mitch... Nah I'm not saying he won't be successful in Seattle. Payton and Brees gave him the knowledge and tools to be successful and they'll do that again with whomever is on the field next season. Jimmy Graham didn't ...

@ Mitch... Nah I'm not saying he won't be successful in Seattle. Payton and Brees gave him the knowledge and tools to be successful and they'll do that again with whomever is on the field next season. Jimmy Graham didn't make the Saints better... The Saints made Jimmy Graham better.

And it's not like the Saints taught him everything he needed to be successful. He had the "tools" from his prior basketball career, he would have been successful with any QB who could have got him the ball... Doesn't matter though, I'll take the extra first round pick over any player any day... |

That's true Mitch... There's no way to know. Extra first round pick though I'll take it!

Re: PFF 2015 free agents
Well anyone can buy a tool belt with a hammer, some screw drivers and a measuring tape...
...but that doesn't make him a carpenter... Saints gambled on him in the third (he was projected a fifth rounder at best because of only one year playing)... And he came on in the second half of his rookie year... Think the Saints had alot to do with it... And the real tell is gonna be what happens in Seattle... |

He was completely shutdown, and was reportedly healthy at the time. The league knows that Jimmy is soft. You play your most physical DB against him and he's done. Yes, pairing him with Lynch will keep some defenses off balance but what other receiving threats do the hawks have? Put your most physical guy on Jimmy and he'll be forgotten about. |

Re: PFF 2015 free agents
I read an article on Who Dat Dish saying Clive left a bad impression with coaches for the combine. Apparently he had an attitude when being interviewed. I would post the link, but im not sure how with my phone lol.
