    ALL of Grahams routes have all been ****, that's not on Brees.

    Saints miss Darren Sharper desperately and Will Smith.

    Aaron Rodgers is the best QB in the NFL.

    I've been sippin on that Kool-Aid since last season while y'all want to keep riding gray jocks.

    BUUUUUUH-leave it.

    He became an elite, top-5 QB two years ago. Most people just didn't notice until last season.

    I saw him become the best besides the Holy Trinity (Peyton, Brady, Brees) in 09. That year his offensive line was **** and he still raged on some mother****ers.

    Last year he went game time. Super Bowl MVP means you stomped ass all the way through. Big time balls.

    Try and give me a good argument against it.

    1.) Peyton might be done, and even if he comes back I can't help but think he won't be the same Peyton.

    2.) Brady ain't sniffed a Lombardi since 06, despite prolific regular season numbers.

    3.) Brees just doesn't have all the tools and threw 22 picks last season. He may be the king of accuracy but Rodgers is damn close, and far more mobile.

    4.) Vick can't do it in the clutch, he's nice but he's not in the conversation.'

    5.) Rivers can't get his team to the dance, talk to me when that happens.

    Rivers and Rodgers are going to be the new Brady and Manning for sure.

    Rivers won't be remembered as an all-time great.

    He's the reincarnation of Dan Fouts, its ridiculous really.

    Both great system QBs, both colossal douches with big numbers and won't have any jewelry to show for it and will fade off into public obscurity, polishing the cryogenicly frozen nutsack of Keith Jackson.

    Jimmy Graham could be a 400 pound asian grandmother and would still wiggle free in the red zone for 8+ TDs with Brees as his QB. The system is prolific because of its unpredictable nature.

    He got a score to make his night respectable, but this isn't the kind of night I don't think you signed up for when you drafted him in the 5 round +/- a round.

    This guy in this offense is certainly not on antonio gates' level.

    Well, that was fun. Great way to start the season. Saints really failed running for short yardage, lost them the game several times tonight.

    Don't be crazy, Gates is an outlier.

    Nobody drafts a TE outside of Gates, Witten, Clark, and Davis for yardage. After that you target high volume TD producers. Graham isn't a guy you're going to count on for 80 yards a game like Zach Miller and hope he scores once every blue moon. He's a guy who Brees will find in the red zone because he'll purposely not even look at a guy for 3 quarters and then burn your ass with him down the seam at the start of the 4th.

    Thats the beauty of fantasy football ala Sean Payton.
