So, say we used him like we have been the past few games....does he have at least one TD per game? Really think he could have done a lot of damage this season.

One of the biggest blunders by this coaching staff this season. Every time the media asks Allen about it, he dodges the question. Idiots

Graham is garbage and it’s embarrassing he made the final roster.

frick off! Graham is past his prime, but has obviously proven he can be a red zone target (something we have precious few of).

Unless you're emplying we leave him off so Allen can suck worse and get fired...

Jimmy has lost two steps, but you can't teach being 6'7 and knowing how to catch a ball. Pete should be fired simply for leaving a huge redzone weapon inactive while we were struggling to score any points.

Graham's on a roll so lets roll with him and others for now.

Everyone on this site has been saying Jimmy G should be put in the lineup on all
packages inside the 20. Allen and Pete wait till the season is almost over to finally do it.

Like I’ve said before, I have zero faith in this coaching staff.

As much as I'd love to agree, I don't.

Jimmy is pretty much done. It's a nice story. But, unfortunately, I don't think Graham is a difference maker if given a larger role.

Red Zone TD% has nearly doubled the last three weeks vs the season average. 2nd highest in the league over the last 3

Happens to coincide with Graham’s TD streak of 3 games. Some would say, difference maker. You went from one of the worst in the RZ to one of the best

No one here is implying that you give him an every-down role or that he's the same guy from 10 years ago, but to not even have him active solely for red zone packages when you've struggled all year in that area of the field is certainly questionable. So, yes, a larger role in the red zone is absolutely justifiable

Crazy part is at one point they were giving him decent snaps, but had him being more involved in the running game. He had a 4-game stretch where he played 1/3rd of the snaps (avg 25 snaps a game), yet only had 1 target. He's then inactive for 4 games, and the last 3 games he's had 4 receptions, 3 TDs, and on average is playing less than 7 snaps the last 3 games.

It's fools gold, IMO. We played in a game in which we were buried early and the offense ended up being productive trying to catch up (Detroit) and then played two of the worst teams in the league.

I just don't think it's sustainable over time. I wish I did.

Good news is based on the schedule we may get buried early and have the offense playing catch-up (Rams), and then play 2 of the worst teams in the league (Bucs & Atl) to finish out the season

Of course it's justifiable. But, the OP said "does he have at least one TD per game?" Obviously, that's absurd.

there is truth to this, but he is no different in taysom in that he can be productive in the red zones where we struggle the most.

graham can still be very effective in scoring situations and he doesnt drop 50% of the balls thrown to him like johnson does
