NFLPA isn't, and NFL may not be neither
good luck with that, the majority of his snaps have been at tight end.

um... quomo say what??? would you mind producing evidence of this? here's mine I'm all for reading something that says otherwise

They can sign Graham to a long-term deal or they can use the franchise tag, a choice that’s fraught with its own potential trouble for New Orleans. By NFL rule, players are given a franchise tag at the position where they participated in the most plays and Graham was used as a traditional, in-line tight end just one-third of the time during the 2013 season. That could set up a fight about whether Graham should be treated as a receiver or if the job description of a tight end has changed enough that he still qualifies at that spot.

beating double and triple coverage with a bad foot. maybe even the same place the all world Calving Johnson (Megatron for those of you who prefer nicknames) was against Min (4/37yds), Cle (3/25yds), Phi (3/52yds) and NYG (3/43yds).
And by this "last few weeks of the season," are you referring to his games against Car (6/58yds 2TD), StL (2/25yds), Car (5/73yds 1td) and TB (5/71yd 1td)? Or did you mean POST SEASON in which he had 3/44 and 1/8 in those two games?
Yes it's easy to focus on a game or two here or there and state that a player "disapears," but sometimes the more difficult task of viewing a player over his entire season and career paints a better picture of what he really is worth. It's especially easy to be wrong when the games you reference are great games by the player. And it's even triply easy to be dead wrong when you try and state the limitation of your contention that it must be "BIG GAMES," when he had great productivity and was the main reason we won in must win scenarios against Car twice and TB once.
Conclusion? You fail.
