Gronkowski mulling retirement (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=321168)

If he retires, they'll plug someone else in. The only way that dynasty ends is if Tom or Bellichek retire. Face it fellas, we're gonna have to just beat these ****ers. Almost did it twice this year. With a little better defense and Mahommes getting his stride...we got this. With or without Gronk. But don't count out the damn Patriots. It's just not smart...

I hate that Ford jumped offside and said at the time, it would have been great to win and have Brady go for 1TD and 3 picks and Gronk's last play ever be an interception he tipped and probably should have caught that caused them to lose the game.

Gronk retiring will be one less weapon they have which will help. The reality though is that their offense doesn't run through him anymore and doesn't need him to be successful.

The end is near though. Brady will continue declining over the next couple years and that will be a much bigger problem for them than Gronk retiring.

Bradys twilight of the gods has begun. He had a lot of luck this post season. Chiefs defense and Rams offense have given him the super bowl.

If they lose him, Bill will just draft Hockensen, Fant, or Smith and they’ll continue to roll.

Ford didn't jump into offside, he started out of offside. :deevee:

Just saw Jared Cook is a FA too. Wouldn’t surprise me

How's his blocking?

I heard Hollywood is waiting.

I foresee the next John Cena

This is getting to remind me of Favre. This is like the 3rd year in a row now that he is mulling retirement.

I want the Pats with all their weapons next year while Mahomes and spags unleash the fury the league is about to witness.

Not if criminally ****ing reeruned defensive coordinators don't start taking away the short throws and making his old ass beat them deep. It won't be a problem at all.

GOD **** Bob Sutton.

By the end of the season, especially the SB, he was healthy, back to his jovial self, and pretty damn good in the SB in receiving as well as blocking. He's very smart with the money he has made and can definitely retire if he wants, to pick up acting or WWE or whatever the heck he wants to do with his life. He loves football, but it's hard to love football when you're hurt.

We'll have to wait and see.

I definitely think that if Gronk retires the Patriots will never win a single game again though. Yep. Definitely not. :rolleyes:

Let's face it -- the Patriots will trade for one, or sign one, or whatever, and/or reallocate the money to pick up a strong WR or whatever. The ONE thing the Patriots under Belichick do is ADAPT. If you can name the TEs that helped the Patriots win the SB in 2001, 2003 and 2004, then good on you, but I bet most here can't.

I imagine Belicheat will just sign some undersized Tackle and work on his hands a bit.

That's pretty much all Gronk was this year, and they're obviously committed to at least having the power run game as an option.
