Welll....I won't pretend that I focus on the blocking skills of tight ends around the league, but some of those guys are better receivers, overall, than Graham. McMichael certainly is.

Graham can be a beast in the field, but on occasion he has some beastly drops. And I'm thinking that the Pats decided to use him as a blocker most of the time for good reason.

Nah, I think we all watched you guys choke away that home game to the Niners.

I'm glad we have Gonzo.

And I'm glad you have Cutler to throw balls to our secondary.

Can't wait. :)

ICE BURN!!!!!!!!!

bullshit..all those guys are pretending...and all of them Houdini...because the like to disappear.

I like the fact that Tony or any other player would want to play on just 1 team their whole pro career.

Watson is alot better than Graham, IMO, don't you think so?

I don't even think Cutler is bad...that post just...made me laugh. Listing those names like some epic post was taking place...and the melodramatic... "What is Gunther going to do?"

Bwahahaha

I watched him long enough to remind me of Jake Plummer.

That Seattle game was fantastic.

He beat up on the Arizona Cardinals.

Wow.

$5 says he thought that picture was Tony Gonzalez.

Yeah, there's an article online at either the Post or RMN where he says his #'s aren't huge b/c NE used him more as a blocker and he wants to be involved more as an actual receiving TE. That was a red flag to me b/c I like the rapport b/t Cutler and Scheffler.

We'll see what happens. I like Graham and I think he has so much to offer, but a lot of that appears to be the type of stuff that he didn't like doing so much of in NE. So, who knows.

That's probably about right.

Don't get carried away with his genius either. It's established, I believe, that he couldn't master the harder of the two TE positions that the Patriots have in their offensive. One is the X and the other the H, or somesuch (I'm in offseason mode and it's late and I'm stupid, I'll admit). One reaosn why Watson was brought in was because Graham couldn't master the one that involved the more complicated changes in sets and adjustments on the fly as a receiver.

Perhaps in a simpler offense (but I wouldn't think Denver's is simpler?!) he might do better as a receiver.

But, of course, Shanarat is no dummy, so I'd think he knows WTF he wants to dow ith Graham and whether he can handle that job or not.

Thats not a rumor, he actually said that about his role with the Pats to a Denver reporter, BTW. He wants to be utilized more for his offensive skills.

And I do know that you won a SB before you arrived. I don't know what the relevance of that comment was to my statement. It's not like I was attributing the Pats success to Graham alone.

I've been watching him for quite some time (Buff fan) and he definitely has offensive skills...a lot more than your run of the mill blocking TE. Add to that he is an very, very good blocker, and it makes him a really good fit for the Denver offense. Watson eclipses him in offensive category...he's incredible.

Especially when they're as good as Gonzo. It just feels uncomfortable the first time you see them in the wrong uniform.

Jerry Rice just never looked right as a Raider.

Yeah I watched the Chargers crush your team 48-20. Man Cutler looked awesome during that game.

I mean that whopping 188 yds passing was just incredible.
