[QUOTE="BorderRivals.com, post: 545395, member: 6416"] I disagree with that assessment to a certain extent. In Cobb's only full season where he was a starter in 2012, he led the league in total yards - including return yards. Graham will always dominate TD's because of his size. But, as far as impacting the complete game, I think Cobb and Graham have similar abilities to do so, just via different routes. Last year, Cobb played great for us, but then got injured on a bogus shot to the knee. Nothing about that is a durability issue in my opinion. And, for what it's worth, Graham has battled shoulders and foot bits these last two seasons (if I remember correctly). So he, too, has been nicked up. Just not the devastating injury that Cobb suffered this last season. Finally, it's worth wondering how much Graham is the benefactor of playing with Brees in that offense. The reason I say this is that he's not a complete TE. He's not a blocker and I've never really thought of him as a great route runner or anything like that. He has unbelievable size and athleticism that is a perfect fit for that system. Now, I say this knowing full well just how dominant of a "TE" he is in the league. But, I think it's fair to question his value in another system where he might not have the freedom in the offense like he does in NO. [/QUOTE]
