3.) Jimmy Graham leads the NFL with 80 catches for 1101 yards. Gronk is 23 yards behind him at 1108, but only has 71 catches; since his YPC average is 15.3, you can hypothesize that with 9 more catches he'd be at 1246.

4.) And Gronk is doing all of this on a team with the NFL's leading WR (Wes Welker) AND sharing balls with ANOTHER tight end (AHern) who's 8th in TE yardage at 607. Imagine if Gronk was the main target all the time...

The kid is a true beast. Physically he's unstoppable. He's got ridiculously soft hands for a big guy. He's so tall that his catch radius is off the charts; he simply has to outjump defenders or shield them off with his big frame. Teams know he's going to be the target, and they still can't do anything about it. He's already got the record at 15 touchdowns, and can easily score 2 more per week to finish with over 20.

It doesn't hurt that he has a FHOFer QB passing him the ball.

If he was the main TE.....it would be easier to shut him down. As it is now....teams try and shut down Hernandez and Gronk kills them. If they shut down Gronk....Hernandez kills them. If they shut both of them down.....Welker rapes them.

And yeah....like it was already posted....it helps that he has a future HOFer in Brady throwing him the ball.

he has won me many a fantasy football game

and didn't we draft DMC over him too, Pioli fail

granted he wouldn't do all that damage without Tom Brady passing to him, but he's still very very good.
