Drew Brees made Jimmy Graham can also be looked at as Jimmy Graham elevated Drew Brees. End of the day its a business. I take umbrage when fans talk **** about a players loyalty to management who traded him like a thief in the night. Kool aid drinkers only see it one way, when the guy that they cheered as he dunked after scoring touchdowns for us...was traded by the same mgmt. Now
he's disloyal????
Really? You think we'd have a hard time filling out a roster? Let me ask you something... Do you like it when people you know and call your friends talk bad about you? What makes you think players WOULDN'T have a problem with that? It's like he's telling them "I'm glad I got out of that mess, because I'm too good for that". It's one thing to think that, but it's another to publicly out your old team. Unless they legitimately did something wrong to him.

But that's the problem. Your argument is beyond weak in what you consider disrespectful or gutless. You think because it caught people by surprise, it was gutless? Were they supposed to ask for his permission? You negotiate contracts, you DO NOT negotiate trade's with players. You negotiate with the prospective team you are dealing with.

The funniest part of what you said was when you suggested Jimmy might have elevated Drew Brees. Is that why we won the superbowl without Jimmy? Don't get me wrong, Jimmy had talent, but Drew was already established well before Jimmy even started playing football.

Lastly, it's not about loyalty. It's about having class. No one is asking Jimmy to wave pom poms around and cheer for us. But what he did was classless.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
