Has he earned your forgiveness?

He is indisputably the best TE in the NFL...He has dominated the league so far facing all types of coverage...

He has shown significant improvement in blocking, and has 0 drops on 18 catchable balls.

Graham is currently on pace for 144 receptions, 1,600 yards, and 16 TDs.




...just though I'd start a sunshine-pumping thread for one of the Saints' bright spots this season.

I wouldnt say soft but he still plays a little green. Doesnt catch the ball naturally. Still cupping his hands before the ball gets to him but no doubt he's a little tougher. Good catches in traffic

I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have scored those TD's without him.

The pic 6 this weekend was a catchable ball.

He's easily our best player besides Brees

Joe Haden was literally tackling him before the ball got there half the time and he still made those catches.

My only negative with Graham is that he is a horrible blocker. When he is in the defense knows it's an obvious pass play or the rusher has the advantage if he's blocking. I think Brees took a sack off a bad Graham Block against the Falcons and maybe the Browns!

No one has tried to get Seahawks or Aqib Talib rough with him. Haden tried to cover him like he covers any ol' wide receiver and Graham ate him for lunch.

Can't guard Graham conventionally. Expect that physical style to become teams only methodology to stopping him.

From what I've seen and heard from players and commentators Jimmy seems like kind of a good player.
I could be wrong so I will look up his stats compared to all the other TE's in the NFL over the last few years.

Will get back to yall when I have the scoop. Hang here till I come back.
