Also I'm not citing raw stats but rather what his overall play was graded. A closer example would be (to use one closer to home) would be to say they fully expect Wagner to be a pretty good Tackle based in his play in 2018 (a 71.6 grade) while writing off his play in 2019 (a 59.0 grade). And thats with a larger sample size to make a legitimate claim that last year was an aberration.Howard has graded out at 41.9 in 2017 (the worst of ANY 1st rounder their rookie season), 89.4 in 2018 (the 2nd highest grade in the league for TEs) and 54.7 in 2019 (as mentioned worse the Jimmy freaking Graham).Those aren't great grades to be proclaiming him better then anybody. He's had 1 pretty elite year and 2 REALLY bad ones. Sure there could be reasons like him being a rookie in 17 or him simply not being used right 19 but its also just as likely that 18 was simply an aberration.I'm not opposed to bringing him in at a cheap price in a trade simply due to his age and hoping that the excuses for his sub par play prove valid.However it seems that you have accused another of simply stat watching and then said he was wrong based on (ironically enough) stat watching yourself while neglecting 2 out of his 3 seasons in the league.</blockquote>
