if he plays for another 6-8 seasons he'll probably be the best ever, but I just can't justify him as a top 5 player in the league.....


Depends who is throwing him the ball

I agree, but I tend to feel like as long as CSP is our head coach, we will find a way to be competent at the QB position. Obviously not on Drew's level, but I don't see us in a situation like the Raiders or the Vikings or something

As for Graham, I'd put him in the Top 50. If he was on another team without Brees making the throws and Payton calling the plays, he would never break the 100.



Ridiculous stance that is taken only because of the contract situation.

I agree, but if we trade him to Oakland he's fricked.

Doesn't seem like breaking the single-season passing yardage mark is that much of an accomplishment at this point.

In a position that has way more stats that are kept track of.

Megatron plays a position that splits touches with more than 5 others on the field and yet posted a 300 yard game. Not to mention he's double and triple covered and overcomes that constantly. AP was on the verge of breaking a record set when the league was a rushing league in a time that it's now a passing league. Just going by number of records is't fair to AP and Megatron at all.

As for the topic of the OP, no Jimmy Graham isn't a top 5 player, top 5 players don't fade into the sunset like he did in big games. Also shows how big of a dipshit the host of the show was for putting Jimmy over Calvin Johnson.

Top 5 if the list is offensive players only, excluding QBs

Top 10 if the list is a mix of defenive players and offensive players, excluding QBs

Top 15 if the list includes QBs

If NO would've further made it to the playoffs, I think we'd have a better informed answer for this but due to his injury, and people stating he got "shut down in big games", I'd go the safe way and say no... until the Saints can ride him to a playoff WIN that is...

No, probably in my top 25 if I had to fill out a list.
He is damn good though...
