I'd love to read people's opinions, please.

Jimmy would get to push off and Gronk would be used as a blocker in the redzone.Fade":1q9hkd4i said:Jimmy Graham should lead the league in TDs every season. Gronk should be right there with him, but Gronk gets the RZ targets, and Jimmy doesn't, so the perception is Gronk is better. Put Gronk on the Seahawks, and Jimmy on the Patriots. What would happen? The inverse.

Gronk is unstoppable. you can't take him out of games. Jimmy can be though. Even just using us as an example. We've always managed to shut down jimmy. Weve never fully contained Gronk before. He always gets his.
I disagree. Gronk is more of an athletic freak than jimmy. hands wise they are about equal and make the same type of circus catches. but Gronks superior YAC ability, physicality and blocking make him better than jimmy. If he wasn't so injury prone we would be on pace to be the greatest TE in NFL history. Even right now he is in the conversation. I don't think jimmy is.

I see your point but disagree. Several of fronts routes are designed to be crossing or reverse of the roll out. Brady is taller so throwing over the line, or back across the field is less risky than Brees or RW. Jimmy gets 80% jump balls. YaC aren't there as often.
But as a subsequent poster typed, jimmy is blocking in the end zone.
