Jimmy Graham Still Thinks About “What Should’ve Been”

First time I’ve heard Graham really say he never wanted to leave the team. I know I often think about Graham being a HOFer had he stayed with the Saints. Just never could replicate the production at other stops.

He didn’t need to say it. You knew every stop he made after that he was regretting it.

I've said it before, but Brees and CSP made mediocre to good players great, but NONE of them have ever been able to reproduce the same production they had here.

Didn’t he have a good chance to come back here after Seattle? We have to remember also he was traded, he didn’t voluntarily leave

This is true.
Having said that, Brees was going to get Graham killed with the way he was forcing balls to him over the middle.
Jimmy was 5 years too early. In the era where it's illegal to head hunt, he would have been even more deadly.

I loved and still love that trade. Everyone was bitching about it but Max Unger was great for us. Was a big shock when he retired. Only complaint is that we had a bad draft year and threw the pick away. Can't remember but I think they got Stephon Anthony with that pick. Or that project corner that never saw a snap.

That's more on Jimmy's lack of route running development. He had 2 routes. Streaks (fades) and crossing routes, but hey, its the same thing Gronk does.

This.
Brees and CSP never even had a pro bowl receiver to work with until Michael Thomas. They got insane production considering the talent they didn’t have.

If the Saints could have drafted even decently on defense during Brees’s earlier years with the Saints there would be a bunch of Super Bowl trophies in New Orleans.
They finally got their act together on evaluating defensive talent just too late.

Graham could have went down as one of the best TE of all-time, statistically, had he STFU and stayed

He had a chance to come back to NOLA but chose money over history, so don't feel bad for him at all

We had to stabilize our OL to generate a running game and prolong Drew's career. We did that and we won that trade even considering we pissed away the 1st rounder we got back on useless Stephone Anthony.

Probably the two most unpopular trades the Saints made in the past 10 years were Jimmy and Cooks. We got Ramczyk for Cooks and Unger for Jimmy--both absolute slam dunk wins for the Saints.

If we had beat SF that playoff game his catch and run would have been one of the top 3 plays in Saints history 
Prolly no way we lose to Giants at home and then we’d have had an amazing SB between Brees in his prime and the great Tommy Brady in the 2nd of his 3 amazing primes
