So TG is a wee bit over half of Sharpes numbers at the half way point in his career. Let's see if TG can stay healthy. He's primed to try and get to the spot.

If he stays healthy, he'll not only surpass Sharpe's accomplisnments, he'll blow them away.

It's possible...but not probable

If he stays healthy it's BOTH possible and probable. Please explain how it is not. Being a DONX fan and not wanting to accept such things is not a good reason...

That was my point but Garcia saw it otherwise. Don't really know how except that it might have been a case for only seeing what he wanted to see...

Mile High Mania · 05-18-2004, 09:51 AM

So, the debate begins...

Sharpe:
14 years - 202 games (avg 14.4 games year)
815 rec / 10,060 yds / 12.3 ypc / 62 TDs

3 - 1,000 yd+ seasons
8 - Pro Bowls
3 - Rings
Top 50 All-time Receivers
#9 - receptions
#21 - receiving yards
#45t - receiving TDs

Gonzo:
7 years - 110 games (avg 15.7 games year)
468 rec / 5,646 yds / 12.1 ypc / 47 TDs

1 - 1,000 yd+ season
5 - Pro Bowls
0 - Rings
Top 50 All-time Receivers
none

==========
Comparing their first 7 seasons, Gonzo has the edge ... which is expected considering when they were drafted and put into the game.

This is the time when injuries must be avoided for Gonzo if he is to surpass Sharpe in these statistical categories. If that happens, I have no issues with it. Records get broken.

If Gonzo plays another 7 years, he needs to average the following in order to surpass Sharpe:

Receptions - 50 per year for 7 years. On his current pace, that could very well happen, barring injuries.

Receiving Yards - 630 yds per year for 7 years. Again, that could very well happen.

TDs - Gonzo is 15 away and that will happen within the next 2-3 years.

------------

So, there you go. Right now, it's key for Gonzo to avoid injuries. He's only missed 2 career starts and he has been the leading receiver on the team for years... that's a heavy load he's carrying. So, the key now is for the team to take the pressure off Gonzo if he is to play at that level for another 7 years.

**ptlyon** · 05-18-2004, 10:01 AM

The only thing I can guarantee (barring injury), is that Gonzalez will surpass Sharpe in Pro Bowls.

The Pro Bowl thing has really lost something the last few years - it's really a popularity contest. Not to mention, there's not a whole lot of competition at that position - really hasn't been since the days that Coates, Sharpe and Gonzo would garner the rights to go.

That's not to say that Gonzo hasn't deserved to go, he has ... but there has been a lack of quality Pro Bowl TEs the last decade in the AFC. It's been a 2-3 player race.

Mile High Mania #triggering Join Date: Aug 2000 Location: Tejas Casino cash: $837229	So, the debate begins... Sharpe: 14 years - 202 games (avg 14.4 games year) 815 rec / 10,060 yds / 12.3 ypc / 62 TDs 3 - 1,000 yd+ seasons 8 - Pro Bowls 3 - Rings Top 50 All-time Receivers #9 - receptions #21 - receiving yards #45t - receiving TDs Gonzo: 7 years - 110 games (avg 15.7 games year) 468 rec / 5,646 yds / 12.1 ypc / 47 TDs 1 - 1,000 yd+ season 5 - Pro Bowls 0 - Rings Top 50 All-time Receivers none ========== Comparing their first 7 seasons, Gonzo has the edge ... which is expected considering when they were drafted and put into the game. This is the time when injuries must be avoided for Gonzo if he is to surpass Sharpe in these statistical categories. If that happens, I have no issues with it. Records get broken. If Gonzo plays another 7 years, he needs to average the following in order to surpass Sharpe: Receptions - 50 per year for 7 years. On his current pace, that could very well happen, barring injuries. Receiving Yards - 630 yds per year for 7 years. Again, that could very well happen. TDs - Gonzo is 15 away and that will happen within the next 2-3 years. ------------ So, there you go. Right now, it's key for Gonzo to avoid injuries. He's only missed 2 career starts and he has been the leading receiver on the team for years... that's a heavy load he's carrying. So, the key now is for the team to take the pressure off Gonzo if he is to play at that level for another 7 years. __________________
