Of course you use the playoffs as a part of the debate. Performing when the stakes are highest is what makes players great. If Gronk sucked in the playoffs and had a bunch of drops people would absolutely be in the right to bring that up. The fact is Gronk was double teamed almost every playoff game and over the 16 playoff games he had put up basically an All-Pro year.
You can't have it both ways. TGon had 1300 catches and 15000 yds but the QBs held him back. Quite frankly I think he made the mediocre Qbs you had better.
