My problem is his running ability after the catch leaves alot to be desired.





I completely disagree with this. He is great after the catch, but he is also competing for balls in traffic

yes, the retort is dead on. I'm not sure what games you're watching to think that he isn't great after catch. It's actually one of his strengths. Curious statement here.


As for Jimmy and drops, I don't believe he dropped 15. It was definitely more than that. It's not an official stat, and there are so many factors the unnoficial stat compilers use to determine a difinitive drop that this number is most likely skewed in Graham's favor. With that said, I agree his wrist has a lot to do with it. I give him a pass this season, because the injury is one that would directly contribute to strength and coordination with the hands.

One other point to be made about his drops is that, even if we accept it was only 15 for him this season, many of those were in critical situations that hurt the team (3rd down conversions, TD's and such). That was frustrating, and it made his drops more damaging.
