He has to be an upgrade from Bennett last season.
Then again, who wouldn’t be???

That he was blocking like a savage samurai with TORN CUFF and LABRUM. Can anyone imagine what it feels like to have a 6’4 290lb DE smash into your torn labrum and cuff for 20-30 plays on a Sunday? Then after being smashed you have to reach out for a pass from an NFL QB? Ever run or move your hands/arms with a torn labrum or torn cuff? Then as the press and fans were castigating him for the drops, he didn’t say a damn word about his injuries. He just brought his lunch pail to work and played his ass off, sacrificing his future health for the team.
Now after sacrificing enduring unspeakable pain for the team, he says he got effed over by 1265; how can anyone be so damn sure he doesn’t have a point? And I’m a 1265 sycophant [though my faith was shaken today]. Obviously, Cheesey your opinion of Bennett doesnt have a god damn thing to do with what he did on the field. So please, confine your discussion to his play.
Now to Graham. If a media person labeled him a CB, would Packerdom be chirping about how just got a great CB? Yeah, probably. Folks, WATCH THE FILM, he is not a CB, nor is he a TE. He’s just a big slow WR, who blocks poorly for a WR. He is lazy. He’s not that smart, so will he learn the adjustments? He will never sacrifice anything for the team and he’ll pout if he doesn’t get enough targets. He is not a guy that makes those around him better; like Bennett did.
Graham, at his best will make a few nice catches and score some TDs, but not as well as Jordy and other than that he is purely a subtraction by addition guy.
Hopefully, GB don’t draft a TE; with this me-first glory-bitch attitude, the kid will never develop. For a number of years, our WRs have taken pride in blocking their asses off; led by Graham’s example expect this to change, like it did in NO and Seattle.
