JIMMY GRAHAM----IS IT TIME TO CALL FOR HIS DAGGER ?????????????
As many of you know I have opinions about everything and I'm not afraid to be wrong
I like the Jimmy Graham signing. We had not Tight End, and the way I looked at it was we took the money saved by not signing Jordy and funneled it to Graham.
In retrospect I think Jordy Nelson would have helped us more than Jimmy Graham last year.
But I had the blind faith. I took Jimmy Graham in my expensive NY FF Auction League on the cheap. He let me know Chronic Knee pain and he didn't look much faster than Dick the Plodder Rodgers, one of ThanksTeds famous third round draft picks.
All of last year my son and I jokingly would chant THROW THE BALL TO JIMMY only to be disappointed over and over and over. It was clear he could no longer beat a LB in coverage, and he could no longer jump and go up and get the ball.
But dammit it was the knee. And I bought into that this year. Year 2, in the auction I kept the blind faith and once again took JIMMY on the cheap when nobody else wanted him for $2. of the $1040 we had to spend. Surely Jimmy with his health back, could improve on last year, and maybe catch 4-5 balls per game and improve on his yardage.
But my old TE Jimmy looks DONE.
He still looks slow, he's not getting open, and then only times he gets balls is when the defense forgot to cover him.
It's to the point where I probably should cut my bud Jimmy in favor of Chris Herndon, who is suspended for drug use and / or Will Frickin Dissley
What say you Rats ? Is it time to put a dagger on my old bud Jimmy ?
Robert Tovan looks faster and appears to run better routes, or at least get open.
And Mercedes Lewis can block
Is Jimmy's success over ?
