If you think Graham is soft you have never been injured in Sports.

I think Graham will get healthy and win a Super Bowl in the next 3 years with Seattle. He did look weak the last part of the season but at least he tried to play and earn his salary. You can't coach the intensity that this dude has. Until you have ever had a plantar fascia injury you don't know the guts it takes to just run a route because each step is a jolt of pain. Most doctors will tell you that you have to stay off of your feet in order for it to heal, never mind the shoulder injury. Let the dude move on. He is a special Pro-bowl tight end/receiver. I am appreciative for the years he has been here.

Had to edit: Graham hasn't won a SB yet. My bad.

I think he's soft because of 2013 not 2014

I think he's a cancer because of 2014

Issue is, he's injured often.

He isn't a pussy, I think that is overreacting and stupid when people say that, but he's never healthy.

Even Gronk takes a bunch of abuse and punishment, but he's rarely dinged up like Graham (freak injuries don't count).

I enjoyed him as well. Doesn't change the fact that any time a corner got in his face he dissapeared. If a big corner played him, he was consistently jammed and went all alligator arms on plenty of occassions. Fully healthy, he is very tough to stop. Only big corners that are also great in coverage can shut him down. If he is dinged, the field gets a lot larger.

He had a shoulder this year, the foot last year, and the wrist the year before. He's always dinged up after week 4.

He's not that young. He's not fundamentally sound so as the injuries wrack up, his athleticism will diminish and he'll be a shell. Good trade.

People think he's soft cause he pulls his arms in when going for a ball and a defender is nearby. Then they see Gronk with a repaired arm in a protective sleeve going balls out for his team.

I think he's soft because he has to come off the field when we would run the ball.

I think he's soft because when you play him physical and jam him at the line he can't get free and is taken away.

I think he's soft because he's not physical for his size and can be bitched by smaller players.

I think he's soft because he's soft.

It's stupid to call him soft, and I don't get the celebration of this trade. It may very well work out in our favor but pretending that getting rid of one of the two best TEs in the league isn't a risk is just as stupid.

And it was becoming more and more of a chronic problem; don't forget the drops were more frequent last year too.
Not to sit here and slam JG, because he did so much for the Saints, but at the same time, I think we got his best years.
