Id like to see the number of targets those other guys get compared to luke. All i know is when luke is targetted, i often see him make plays. Hes made more plays than graham has during his time here and hes not even the primary option at TE anymore and still outplays graham. He also made big plays in the playoffs.
I'd really like to know how you arrived at the conclusion that Luke has made more plays and outplays Graham, because if you base it on any kind of stats that I am aware of it's not remotely true.
Graham's first season in Seattle was 2015 so I'll start there.
2015 Graham, 11 games, 48 receptions, 605 yards, 2 TDs.
2015 Willson, 14 games, 17 receptions, 213 yards, 1 TD.
2016 Graham, 16 games, 65 receptions, 923 yards, 6 TDs.
2016 Willson, 11 games, 15 receptions, 129 yards, 2 TDs.
As far as the playoffs go, Graham has played in 2 playoff games for Seattle, Willson has played in 9. They each have 1 playoff TD as Seahawks. Yes, Willson has more receptions and yards than Graham in the playoffs, but then again he's played in 7 more games than Graham and still doesn't have more TDs. Also, out of 9 playoff games, Willson did either nothing or pretty close to nothing in 7 of them.
