Cool.
Maybe someday. But the case is still being made right now that Gronk is the greatest TE to ever play because of his elite receiving skills
plus his incredible blocking skills in combination.
It's the alchemy of the two skillsets in one package that make Gronk a serious candidate for greatness, not one vs. the other.
Now someday maybe TEs will become so receiver-oriented that they won't be asked to block anymore, or maybe the league will install a reg that prohibits TEs from blocking or whatever. But for now, at least as i hear it discussed, blocking is still integral to what a TE does.
