When he was with the Saints, Jimmy Graham was one of my favorite players. I loved watching him make big plays and the rapport he had with Drew Brees. I thought he was a special player and really helped make the Saints offense even more explosive.

I know when he was traded to Seattle, one of the main reasons was he wanted to be paid like a WR. I get why he felt that way, but Payton and Loomis didn’t see it that way. Was sad to see him go.

My question today is do you believe Jimmy Graham is an all-time Saints great, and thus belongs in the Saints Hall of Fame? He only played in New Orleans for 5 seasons, but they were mostly productive. Below are his key stats:

*Started 50 games
*386 receptions
*4,752 receiving yards
*51 touchdowns

He is the greatest TE to ever play for the Saints .. so yes

Plus, the bar is not to high, as Devery Henderson just made it.

He very well could have went down as one of the best TE to ever play had he stayed with the Saints. Brees made him

He's not a TE. Just ask him if you don't believe me. Why the frick do you think he left the Saints? Don't insult Hoby Brenner with this shite. Graham was 1 trick pony. Brenner was a true TE with all the skills to play the position.

IMO No because he acted like a bitch and really messed up the team

Look at Travis Kelce. Dude is just a WR who has 10 extra pounds and blocks 1/4 of the time and he's gonna be a "top 4 all time tight end" because he was willing to take a few less dollars to be a GOAT. If he played WR (which is rly what he actually plays) he wouldn't even be top 25 all time. Dude's so much smarter than Jimmy.

Yes, no question. The production was there.

Graham was a freak athlete who had his bed made for him by Brees and Payton. His problem was that he came into the league on 3rd base in the sense that he had an offensive-minded coach who had a clear vision for how he should be used and a quarterback who will be in Canton in a few years and thought he hit a triple. Would likely be talked about in the same conversation as Gronkowski all-time had he just shut the frick up. Dude was incredible.

Also Wesley Walls was a better TE

If he doesn’t, there might only be five players that do.
