I sometimes wonder if Graham regressed due to injuries we didn't know about cause I remember him taking some brutal hits in 2012, 2013 and all through 2014. He was so dominant at stretches during those seasons, it was like teams were targeting him and intentionally roughing him up.

Graham definitely took a bunch of shots here in New Orleans. Also, I love Russell Wilson, he's a great player. His play style though is physically tough on receivers. He scrambles a bit to find throwing lanes and dumps the ball off into traffic quite often because of the angles he's able to throw and his guys take some pretty significant hits. It's great QB play, but it definitely is taxing.

I agree with you on Wilson. His play style is often compared to Fran Tarkenton on NFL stat site communities. There's been a lot of discussions comparing the two with their scrambling and always extending plays the way they do.

The longer a play drags out like that, the tougher it is for receivers to get separation and often times it has to end the way you described, forcing a play into coverage.
