[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1001662, member: 10086"] True. The distinction at TE this season is we don’t have a choice. Rookies will get forced into live game action in sink or swim fashion. Personally I don’t believe that “Rookies can’t produce” as much as we don’t ask them to very often. So our opinion is somewhat skewed by rookie TE non production that resulted more from lack of usage, not lack of ability. Jimmy Graham came into the NFL as essentially a basketball player. You don’t get less college football inexperience than him (1 season) Yet he started Day1 with a 70% catch rate. He finished with 356 yards and 5 TD on minuscule targets (44). He only was listed as a starter in 5 contests. What would’ve happened if he started in 10 contests? I’d easily take the 2023 TE group over the 2008 version of Donald Lee, Jermichael Finley and Tory Humphrey, whose cumulative effort was 539 yards. Cmon. [/QUOTE]
