I disagree. The Seahawks gave up their starting center and a 1st round selection for a guy that can't stay on the field.

Max Unger played in 6 games last year and you want to talk about Jimmy Graham not staying on the field?

Graham's games played the last 5 years? 16, 16, 15, 16, 15

You're wrong

I analyzed the trade and the Saints got the better of this deal.
No way. Seattle ran away with this trade.

Whats with this injury stuff. Graham plays a full year almost every year. Here is the last 5 years.

LMAO, who can't stay on the field?

Graham has missed 2 games the past five years. Unger has missed 33.

I think it is more this past year he played through a shoulder injury which limited him a bit. It does show his toughness though to continue to play through that. I think that helps eliminate some of the claim that he is soft in my opinion.

Let's see how long Guns sticks to his wrong opinion after being so thoroughly buried with facts.

Im not too worried about him fitting in, I would venture to guess the Seattle defense thinks most every offense player not named Lynch is soft.

I'm not too worried about it either. Seattle players like to talk some. just part of their swagger. I'm betting they all welcome him with open arms and that he loves the new atmosphere. I keep hearing how the Seahawks organization is one that players really love to be a part of. They feel like they are treated more like family than just an employee.

Actually Graham was gimpy last season and took plays off. Probably one of the main reasons the Saints had such a poor season. Of course their defense also sucked.

Do you always get butt-hurt when somebody disagrees with you?

Which totally makes up for Max Unger missing 10 games. Your argument is air tight

Oh sheesh. JG was injured last year which limited some of his ability. It is why his numbers while still decent were down from years past. The whole 2nd half of the season he only had one game of over 80 yards. Now I know you will come back with "well teams were double covering him." Which yes is somewhat true but they were always doing that. Just like with the Patriots and Gronk teams try to double him all the time but he still put up great numbers. Graham's shoulder injury just limited him a bit and it showed up some on the field. I do expect him to have a bounce back year with the Seahawks where he has a full off season to get healthy.

I'm not sure why you are arguing with me so much on this considering I said it was a good trade for both teams. Both players had injury issues last year that could present a challenge but if both he and Unger are healthy then both teams got good value out of this trade.

I have not yet figured out the multi quote feature yet.
Your quote:
. I would say Graham actually was a big part of the offense in only about 5 of the games this past season because of his injury and OL issues for the Saints. Unger while only playing in a handful of games I would say had 5 high quality games as a blocker.

You see, this is a put down on the EX NO player while giving kudo's to the EX Seahawk player. You say Max had huge games in over 80% of his games played while Graham had huge games in about 30% of his games.
Why would it be a good trade for Seattle if we get a multi million dollar player that had less than a 1/3 of his games being of good performance?
Also, which 5 of Max' 6 games last year were "huge" in your opinion? Same Q in which 5 games JG earn his keep?

Graham only had 200 yards and 1 TD the last 4 games of the season. That is one overrated cat.

Do the Hawks have a young center they're ready to turn over the job too?
