Fact is Graham produced the better season last year. Not per game averages. Not career. Y'all keep trying to turn this into something it's not.
No he didn't. He only benefited from playing more games. I am in complete agreement that Graham should be on the list but the whole he produced better is completely bogus. Gronk broke his fore arm, missed four games and them came back to catch another touchdown and 40+ yards in limited action. Gronk was just about as productive as he could be.

Also, Antonio gates put together 4 seasons in a row that are eerily similar to Graham's last season. Than tacked on another 1100 yard season after he slowed down. He only has one year in his career where he has caught less than seven touchdowns.

I'd be willing to bet that Graham or Gronk will see 16 years of play either.

I said Graham produced the better season, not that he had better production per game. What part of that are you not comprehending?

The list is about who had the best 2012 season, and of those on the list only Gonzalez and Witten had a better season. I don't give a flying frick what Gronkowski was on pace to do. He didn't do it and he didn't have a better season than Graham period.

And for some reason you are posing your arguments as if I'm saying any of these guys suck. I'm most certainly not. They are all great(Graham and Gronk so far; Gonzalez and Gates throughout their careers).

My point is Gonzalez is far and away the best TE of this generation to this point. Gates is clearly second best.

Graham and Gronkowski have a chance to pass them but they are still young. Let's let their careers play out a bit more before we put them in the hall of fame.

But for this list, Graham clearly had a better SEASON and deserved to be on this list in front of every TE except Gonzalez and Witten.

Gonzalez being rated so low is "criminal" and leaving Jimmy off is just as bad. Gronkowski and Davis being ranked in front of them is clear bias and agenda.
