The guy had 11 turnovers in 7 games. That's 25 over the course of a full season. But I digress. He has turnover issues absolutely, which was what I pointed out pre-draft while everyone else was swooning over him. But to be fair, he is a victim of BOB's incompetence as much as Mahomes and Trubisky have been beneficiaries of Reid and Nagy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love how anyone thought Jimmy Graham was an "outstanding" acquisition. The guy had 520 yards in 2017 and was clearly on the rapid decline. In that thread, he also called Marcedes Lewis "very underrated." The guy hasn't had over 25 catches since 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a blocker I could agree, but yeah not a great signing. I thought he would be used as the blocking TE (to help the run game) and Graham would be living in the slot to get mismatches. Doesn't seem to be happening though. I mean, St. Brown and the other TE Kendricks have more snaps than he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone knows him as a good blocker, so therefore he can’t be underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never really lived up to his draft status outside of one good season. The TE I wanted way back was Witten (UT fan) and I was so pissed we passed on him. Though the player we drafted instead (Lance Briggs) worked out pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the guy from UF was going to be a monster and I think they might have been in the same draft class? Name is escaping me at the moment though. *edit* Had to look it up. Ben Troupe. I thought that guy was going to be really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ate crow on him bad too. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator goggles were in full blown fanboy mode. Ugh. Looking at some of my notes on my draft classes would be laughable. I'm talking Collinsworth/Rodgers fanboy level bad. Crowder was going to be another Zach Thomas to me. hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
