I think this is first player I've heard say he WOULDN'T play if he could go back. That's sad. Dude is still young and he has trouble walking down the stairs and memory loss.

Targets don't equal featured.
Saints used Colston, Sproles, 11 running backs (for what reason I don't understand) and I'm forgetting one other weapon they had....but Brees basically had more options. He could/should have used Jimmy even more.
Gronk (and Edelman) have been Tom's focus since Randy and Wes jumped ship. (Or were pushed)

Wrong about what? It's MY opinion.
Some rock with Gronk, I go Jimmy.
Some got Peyton, I got Brady.
Some say TO, I say Moss.
Some buy Emmitt, some buy Barry.
We're splitting hairs among elite players with different situations. Not all elite players have great coaches, or QB's, or Oline's.
There is no right, or wrong. So nothin for me to admit.
When Gronk was broken and Jimmy was killin, were Gronk guys "wrong" then?
You guys all wanna believe an answer is done and set in stone from one day to the next. But that isn't the case.

TB's well known for spreading the ball around. You also had Chico and the RB's taking targets away

I agree. I think his career will be cut short to injuries.

Jimmy Graham was 5th in the NFL in targets in 2011.

There is literally nothing objective and fact based that indicates Jimmy Graham was featured less in New Orleans than Gronk in New England.

Gronk the next megatron and retire by 30?

Good thing he's only 26 and can still recover well from injuries and not 30.

Gronk continues on this pace and it's feasible that he'll hit 100 TDs by 30. Only needs 9 a year.

Great coaching/org really pays off for those extra postseason numbers eh?
Gates is the GOAT and he has very limited playoff numbers. Same with Tony. And Witten, etc.
THANK YOU.

"Gronk Lite" aka Antonio Gates is definitely an all-time great.

As much as I dislike Gronkowski, he's arguably the best TE in the NFL right now and I'm not sure how his body will hold up through all these injuries he's be having. I know he's not built the same way as most NFL players, but how much punishment can human being take?
I think you also have to consider the severity of the type of injuries Gronk has had the past few years. We're not talking about some sprained ankles or concussions. We're talking about blows to the joints and limbs.

Doesn't the fact Drew had more options favor Gronk? Everyone knows Gronk is getting the ball and yet can't be stopped. Numbers don't always tell the story though. See my previous post about Rice vs Irving. However Gronk is the far superior player. I'd bet the defensive players around the league will even agree with that.
Gronk in NE vs Jimmy in NO is a more apples to apples comparison then Rice vs Irving because the type of offense they both run is pass happy. Unlike the run happy offense Dallas ran. I had to throw that Rice Irving thing in there to not sound hypocritical on this Gronk Jimmy debate.

But he continues to come back from them and dominate at the highest level.
Gronk is a machine.
