Gronk

[CodeWarrior]

This Hawk-Lock fellow is on point!

Since he recovered so fast from his injury, I'm still waiting for the NFL to test him for HGH/PEDS, like they "randomly" did to Earl Thomas a day before XLIX, or Matt Hasselbeck when he won 3 games in a row with the colts recently. There is nothing random about the NFL's testing for PED's, when was the last time Brady got a random sprung on him?

Don't forget Doug's test after a ball ricocheted off his arm and 15' into the air (when it actually hit the ground).

I just don't have any vendetta against Gronk. And no, I don't own him on my fantasy team, and even if I did I could care less. What has Gronk done that makes you hate him so much? He works very hard. He is likely the greatest TE in the history of the NFL. He has had so many unfortunate injuries in his career and has worked hard to recover from all of them.

Other than the fact that he plays for the Pats, there is really no reason to hate Gronk. The reason why people hate Gronk are the same reasons why people hate Lynch, Sherman, etc. If anything, Lynch and Sherman give people more reason to hate them than Gronk.

Now you're just trolling.

Are you sure about that? Who is better? Tony Gonzalez? Shannon Sharpe? Antonio Gates? All those guys are good, but the TE position is one of the most evolved positions of today's NFL. I can tell you now that Gronk in his prime is head and shoulders above any other TE in their prime. The guy has been in elite category that can not only compare with some of the best TE's, but also some of the best WRs.

Unless he falls of a cliff, he should break Tony G's TD record. The only thing getting in Gronk's path of being the greatest TE when he retires is health and longevity. And people always being rings into the conversation of "who's the greatest." Gronk has rings, can't say the same for Tony G or Gates. Now Sharpe does have 3 SB's to himself, but imo his stats won't be comparable to Gronk's in the end.

Others feel free to chime in. I've always been under the impression that Gronk will go down as the best TE ever.

I agree he is outstanding, but I will wait for 4-6 more years to say the best in history. Get to 1,000 receptions and we'll talk.

I would bring in a variable to consider. What would he be without Brady & Belichick? He may have both for the remainder of his career, but I would expect he wouldn't have the numbers being on another team.
