Week 3 Thoughts & Observations

[Tom Kessenich]

I think your missing something about the whole Jimmy Graham statement Tom. I would much rather have Jordan Cameron for the price he went for this year.

Assuming Cameron can sustain an elite pace (a legitimate question) I would agree. Right now, Cameron is what Jimmy Graham was two years ago - a lower round pick blowing up. But for every Cameron, there's a Jared Cook (quiet since Week 1), Jermichael Finley (0 in Week 3 because of injury), Martellus Bennett (quiet Week 3) or a Kyle Rudolph (blah) who went in the same range who aren't getting it done or not getting it done consistently. Even Tony Gonzalez is off to a sluggish start.

Graham's value is that he's a stud talent who has proven he can perform over the test of time. He is averaging 27.6 points per game in the NFFC. That total not only leads all tight ends, but all wide receivers too. So if he's going to produce at that type of level he absolutely needs to be in the discussion where the No. 1 WR is being drafted in my opinion.

And thanks Frank. Much appreciated.

Tom, before you rag too much on my Niners, fact is they could NOT have unilaterally suspended Aldon Smith a day after the incident with the collective bargaining agreement the way it is. It was too soon to do so.

We have bigger problems like finding an NFL caliber receiver............Josh Gordon?

He could've (and should've) been de-activated. He didn't need to be suspended. I'm not sure why so many broadcasters and writers were focusing on the team suspending him. He simply could've been one of the game day inactives.

I agree Gordon would be a huge help to the 49ers. They were the second team I listed on Twitter last week about teams who should be trying to trade for him. The Patriots were first.

If he wants to, Peyton might throw another 7 tonight.

He plays the Eagles in Week 4. He might get 7 against them too.

AND THEN THE BRONCOS SHOW MERCY IN THE SECOND HALF. Rock, paper, scissors for the TD? That has to be a first. I'm sure that makes Fantasy owners happy??

[Tom Kessenich]

Three of Denver's next 5 games are against the Eagles, Jaguars and Redskins. Peyton could drop 20 TDs on those three teams if he really wanted to.

If you're going to mention Charles, you have to give love to Matt Forte who was drafted 8 spots below him in primetimes.

On pace for 1200 yards rushing, 96 receptions, 736 yards receiving and 12 td's. Took him on as many teams as I could this year.

And this is against Cincinnati, Minnesota and Pittsburgh. No 'horrible' defenses in that bunch.

[Tom Kessenich]

Minnesota's defense is pretty bad but Forte definitely has looked great. I didn't mention him because I don't heart him.

Or how about Demarco Murray's pace...right up there with Forte and he was drafted at least 12 spots below him in primetimes
