Leader Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 Kruse: Aaron Rodgers has targeted Jimmy Graham in the red zone just once in the last 7 games. Only 9 targets the whole year, 2 TDs. Pairing was a total bust in 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been a check down TE that is as bad of a blocker as you'll ever find at his position. Combine that with bad, inconsistent hands and the result is a disastrous season. Given the obvious lack of talent that we had at WR this year this should have been a year where he earned that ridiculous contract.

He cant throw himself the ball. Now - if you accept SSG's comment that he cant get open - well, therein lies the "he aint worth it" discussion. I guess I've not seen enough games or tape to support that conclusion however and not really interested in the discussion. My post was made for statistical reasons. I found the number of targets low.

If you're waiting for a 6'7 260 player to run away from a DB you aren't playing QB well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s insurance against a team jumping us in the draft and a bargaining chip in negotiations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must know that if he’s cut, he won’t earn a contract better than what he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
