Graham is great at what we can do however there are major holes in his game limit how he can be used.

He needs a complimentary TE like Watson to handle a lot of the other TE responsibilities.

Never let him block. Only throw it to him when he knows he is not about to get hit?

He's a tight end who we are paying 10 million a year to not block and to drop passes apparently.

I have soured on Jimmy a lot.

He can be a matchup nightmare. Problem is that it goes both ways.

Watching Gronk knock people around blocking then catch balls in traffic can sour someone on Graham.

Hell watching Olson today can sour you on Graham.

He will have games when he is unstoppable. There are game situations where Brees/Graham combo is unstoppable. Problem are the plays in between.

I would bump my thread calling him a great pass catcher but a little soft thread but I will refrain........ I took some series shite for that thread

I think he chooses to be soft. Because in 2011 we threw him the ball on seam routes and hed get lit up. He and Colston were both unstoppable on the seam route, they were both like sledgehammers with no regard for their own bodies.
I feel like Colston's body has broke down and hes got jumpy with age.
But I think Jimmy worries about collecting this entire contract and avoids routes that could get him hurt. Were not even running seam routes with him its like Brees and Payton dont have the balls to tell him run the damn route.
Maybe well put him on turbo down the stretch and call those routes for him in these must win games.
We kinda did that with Ingram and Khiry at the end of last year.
