QB Bills Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I don't know why everyone thinks he's so bad. From anything I've seen this year, he's been running open all season and Manuel can't get him the ball. The long bomb by tuel was slightly overthrown. Not tj's fault.

Kemp Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Signs of life?! Unbelievable. A receiver who can't catch catches one ball in a game where he dropped a perfectly thrown deep ball, is now being given props. The single lowest graded receiver in the entire league last year. A fumbling machine in college. A speedster who can't separate from a defender. Sounds like a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredJackson4Ever Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I think he will become decent because it seems like every game he grows a little in each categorie like last week was vision and this week catching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills44 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 not in Buffalo. Teams like NE give guys 2-3 years. And they're worse then we are drafting. Pittsburgh invests a ton of time in to players. A lot of teams do. We have with Troup and he is finally getting on the field. He has the markings of a rotational 8-9 yr journeyman. Graham has speed, athleticism and smarts. He needs time and he needs opportunity. We can give him time. He will have to wait for the opportunity. The Bills cut Troup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPS Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 WR's take years to develop. You can write off a RB or a LB in a year or two. WR's and DT's take a long time. He deserves time. With Woods drawing more attention I think Graham's opportunities will increase over the course of the season. Maybe back in the day of Eric Moulds when rookies didn't play. But these days, rookies play right away. And you find out right away. If he was great, or even good, we'd know already. If he wasn't a 3rd rounder he'd be on someone's practice squad.

run dat back Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 He does throw a nice ball for a WR though. I think we just found our replacement QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 This. He's raw. I think he's on a 3-4 year learning curve. After 3 or 4 years, if he hasn't developed, then I think you can write him off. I agree with you on the raw and learning curve (if ever). It's reported that before Thurs. nite he had 4 catches off 12 targets. That's bad. The problem is, the guys you draft in Rounds 1-3 should be guys who can contribute in their 1st year and become regular contributors by year 2. A guy on a 3-4 yr learning curve (which I agree with you is where Graham is), by definition should not be a 3rd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Signs of life from TJ Graham? x 100,000 I'm pretty sure that's rigor mortis! The ONE good catch the guy made isn't a catch at all if we were playing the Patriots. The damn thing hit the frickin ground! -The refs were incredibly generous in order to help ratings the next time these two teams square The ball can hit the ground as long as he has control which he did so nice try with that.

Agent 91 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 As a track guy he needs to be a student of the game. His ball tracking, route running, and hands leave a lot to be desired. I will say however, he is a decent blocker for someone of his stature. He is still young so I won't judge yet but he has a ways to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 How can anyone say TJ played well. Did you see that drop he had in the 4th quarter? That was terrible. Oh, hi Conner. Been gone a while. Nice to see you come back and put it all on one play. Blaming TJ for that is reasonable, he did drop it. But, it happens. He still has been getting better for a while.

Can't blame TJ for being taken 3 rounds too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
