Can Travis Kelce have a better career than Tony G?
I think we can all agree that Travis Kelce has shown some major potential. If I recall correctly, a number of years ago, we had a tight end named Tony Gonzalez that was pretty damned good as well.

So, simple question. In your opinion, does Kelce have the talent, potential, and discipline to have a better career than Tony Gonzalez.

Poll to follow.

Also, Travis Kelce seems to be a very likable player as well. Seems down to earth, level-headed, and has fun with the fans on twitter. I remember a lot of the people from the Kansas City community mentioned that Tony G was sort of stand-offish and arrogant at times. For those of you into that sort of thing, does that make you like Kelce more than Tony?

He's got a hell of a start, but I wonder about his durability and life after Brady.

What he's doing with Brady isn't too terribly different from what Jimmy Graham was doing with Brees or what Julius Thomas was doing with Peyton.

Shit, Antonio Gates with Rivers was a ridiculous combo in its prime and Rivers isn't half what guys like Peyton and Brady are.

Can he? I suppose. Will he? I doubt it, but that does not mean he won't have a very good pro career.

CAN he?

Yes absolutely.

That said, he may have 300 pairs of shoes, but hes got a long way to go to get a pair of Tony Gs

Gonzalez is so durable and in such good shape, he probably could've gone out there this year and put up 800 yards. He really never tailed off. He probably wasn't as fast but he was still a beast all the way to the end. That's what makes it so difficult. Everyone thought Gates was going to be the guy to pass him, but it's hard to sustain that kind of pace for 17 years. Somebody probably will, but even in this pass happy league it's hard to sustain that kind of career.

The other catch is Kelce is about to turn 26 years old. He's had 1 season of production. Tony Gonzalez retired at 37 years old. To match Tony's career production, Kelce has to average:

105 rec, 1189 yards & 9 TDs a year. For the next 12 years.

Good luck.

On top of that, with all due respect to Priest while he was here, Tony G was pretty much the most reliable, consistent, dominant and explosive offensive player from 97-09.

Kelce is on a team with Maclin, Charles, DAT, and Davis - Kelce simply shouldn't ever see as many balls in his career, so he shouldn't ever have the opportunity to compare in sheer statistics to Tony G.

And, as great as Tony G was, when your best offensive player is your TE, then you're not gonna do much as a team.

Tony was never explosive.

Travis Kelce should be a dynamic weapon in this offense.
Tony was a reliable tool.

It is highly unlikely that Kelce can match the years and consistency of Tony.

Yep, the Patriots with Gronkowski can attest to this statement.

Also I doubt Kelce stays as healthy as Gonzo. That's no knock on Kelce it's just that Gonzo was almost never injured and was relatively healthy his whole career. That is extremely rare for a guy who played as long as Gonzo did...
