SS: 815 rec/ 10060 yds/ 62 TDs/ 3 Rings

TG: 1069 rec/ 12463 yds/ 88 TDs/ 0 Rings

Based on their personal play alone, TG is more deserving. He also happens to be a better person than Thannon.

Uh, have you ever watched Tony play? There is no question he is an around better tight end than any of the aforementioned. Dude can block, run, catch, is smart as whip and knows the game like the back of his hand. He can also enuncitate, lol.

And who's to say he won't get a ring next year? The Falcons may not have won a playoff game but they did lose the team that DID win it all, plus they were a 13-3 #1 seed. They stand a better chance than most teams.

Yes, I have watched Gonzales play. I do agree that he should be a first ballot HOFer. I also think that Ditka, Winslow, and Sharpe should have been first ballot HOFers. They were not, and there are reasons for that. I believe that the same reasons will make Gonzales a second ballot HOFer.

If you need more convincing, name all the WRs that have been first ballot HOFers (at least in the modern era). There's one: Jerry Rice. Do you think they are willing to claim that Gonzales and Rice are fairly equal?

All the love to Randy Moss? I hope he NEVER gets a ring in his life.

Tony .. even tho he left us ....

:LOL:

I heard Tony was pre approved for dual bust-man-ship. ;)

I'm sure more will come to mind later.

The rest of the NFL doesn't think that highly of Tony G.


In the latest NFL Channel top 10 TE's he was 7 or 8.


If he was a former Giant, Cowboy, or Patriot he would be 1.

Janikowski,
Say what you will about the Raiders, but you can`t take the guy`s accomplishments away from him.

NFL Network?

On the Top 100 list of 2011 on NFL Network, the NFL Players had him at #46 (probably the #3 current TE).

On the All time top 100 list on NFL Network they had him at #45, as the 45th best player of all time, between Mel Blount and Roger Staubach, both Hall of Famers, of course.

Good names for today in the thread, I guess it depends if we're talking greatest as a career or best today. If it's the former, I would add Terrell Owens (even though I can't stand him). If it's the latter, then I would add Nmandi Asomoughah (sp.?) and Darelle Revis, and yes, Ndamukong Suh.
