feh...even I can admit he wasnt right until very late in the year and by then it was too late...

I think I missed this one ... what are you referring to? I wasn't trying to knock the guy. Let me know what I missed.

I assumed you were referring to Priest...nevermind.

Injuries are a concern for any NFL player. Personally, I think a lot of it is simply a matter of luck, being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And Tony has been seriously hurt, it just happened to come in the final game of a season (knee injury in...2001, I think it was, on a hail mary). He would've been out for a while if that had happened earlier in the year.

I think this is what he meant but I don't know what he meant by it was to late. He started to come around the first Denver game. Gonzos knee got hurt in the preseason and I think that affected his play.

That injury was part of the luck you mentioned - timing is everything.

Exactly.

Both bad luck (the injury itself, on a frikkin hail mary of all things) and good (the timing).

Hmm..i thought he was a TE? my bad then.....what about Kellen Winslows stats?

Just think how impressive Tony's numbers would be if he had a decent QB for most of his career.

Also, Tony's numbers would be much better if he wasn't called for phantom offensive pass interference calls two games each year. ;)

That is cool

Look at post 37 I listed all the Hall of Fame tight ends and Todd Christensen.

This kid has a shot too to break all the records:

Grbac was a great passer yardage wise that is. Green is a decent QB.

Just think this system really doe not work to Gonzos abilities. Just think about what he could do if he was in that type of system.

Heap is behind Gonzos first 3 years but he does have a chance.
