Agreed. Plantar Fasciatis(sp) is painful, I know first hand.

He does need to become a serviceable run blocker though.


Yes, he has to complete his game and become tougher. As in no more alligator arms before he gets paid big money.

I think CSP would deal him if he doesn't improve.

I'm a big JG critic, but I'm thinking he wasn't in on most run plays was to prevent any further injury to his foot. possible?

I recently proposed this as a viable, if not possible plan-

At #27 draft TE Ebron or Amaro in the draft. One or both will likely be available. Franchise Tag Graham.

Result- A) You create a Gronk/Hernandez type threat. Payton would go nuts with these play designs. B) It gives you another year to fully judge if Graham is a guy you want to build the farm on. You can only afford a half dozen or so of these type players. C) If you decide no on Graham long term, you have a viable replacement (as a single primary TE) already in place.

I just don't see the "trade" or "deal him" at this point with J.G.
A lot of posters and threads mention this without noting ever, who holds all the cards. Initials are J.G.
He's a FA. Sure you can tag but folks, teams will wait you out for one year before they give the blood of teams(draft pics) or quality players. It truly is NOT Madden 2014.

Yep. Hurts like a bitch. And i think he had a partially torn plantar fascia tendon. Not just inflammation. I don't know how he could walk, much less play football. (other than a shitpile of novacaine).

I was disappointed w him like everybody else, but people forget he was playing hurt.
