He's on pace for 70 catches and 785yards. Solid tight end numbers. Both would've been good for 5th among tight ends last season.

Those are things that would have benefited him in our system not hinder.I think he would struggle here. His last year was pretty tough when he was dealing with injuries. He's older now and is past those prime years. Our offense is quite different now from how it was in Graham's years, now that we have a true #1 receiver and a stronger run game.
So true. Green Bay never uses the TE and they don't run the ball either. It's the strangest thing. You'd think with Rodgers throwing the ball around that it would open up the field and help the run game. It doesn't. You'd think that TEs would thrive in an offense that throws the ball so much but it just hasn't happened. Jermichael Finley had a few decent years but that's it.
So that was why this signing seemed odd to me. You lose Jordy Nelson so you bring in a big money TE? Doesn't make a lot of sense but I'm glad it happened. I'm sure Jimmy would've done ok with the Saints but the production probably wouldn't have been in line with the pay.
I think the only noticeable difference he'd make here is in the red zone. And I'm not even sure what our red zone % is so not sure we even need that much help.

If the saints hadn’t splurged on Kurt Coleman they could have brought him in. Guarantee he would have been putting up bigger numbers here.
Like Ben Watson?I think he would struggle here. His last year was pretty tough when he was dealing with injuries. He's older now and is past those prime years. Our offense is quite different now from how it was in Graham's years, now that we have a true #1 receiver and a stronger run game.
Eventually, yes.
No, he said tear, from his ducts.?He tore it up in Seattle?
Jimmy’s biggest asset was jump balls around the goal line. He really was soft for his size. I don’t miss the alligator arms he grew in his last year or two with us.
