You have to consider that graham is usually matched up v nickle backs or safeties and megatron isn't.



He's not running past those guys...he's beating them with his strength, size, and ability to go get the ball. If you put a #1 CB on him, it is still a mismatch, and Graham is going to abuse that CB.

Arizona put every DB they had on him and none of them could stop him

As for Gronk, he's not even fricking playing right now. He's not in the conversation

Outside of Patrick Peterson, all of their good secondary players are short. No wonder nobody could match up. Javy Arenas, Jerraud Powers, and Tyrann Mathieu are all especially short.

FWIW, I still think Jimmy Graham is the best tight end in the league, but he's not much better than Rob Gronk, IMO. Julius Thomas and Jordan Cameron are also trying to make a name for themselves at tight end.

I'm just saying it's to the point where he is commanding the respect of all DBs. Not just 3rd & 4th CBs

Gronk > Davis > Graham. Davis is easily the best blocking tight end in the game and is a damn good receiving threat. Dude is 6'3 250 and runs a sub 4.50 40. He's an all around better athlete than both graham and Gronk, but Gronk is all around better. Davis is used differently than Graham and is better for it.

Saints fans smh.

That's fair, then.

Team coaches would be making a huge mistake by not putting a gifted adversary up against Jimmy Graham.

and that's with Sproles, PT, Colston, Stills, Moore, etc. all snagging balls through four games.


As oppossed to other teams that are fielding one recieving threat and a bunch of high schoolers filling out the other positions?

Every NFL team has guys as good or better than Stills, Moore, etc

It's a clear sign of defeat when your only argument is to call someone an alter even though its been proven they aren't.

Jimmy really is starting to become literally unstoppable... What he is doing is scary good.
