Gronkowski mulling retirement
If Gronk retires...that offense is done.

Will Rob Gronkowski retire? Why the Patriots star's decision isn't easy

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2...-decision-easy

Quote:
When asked whether he had just played his last game, Gronkowski deferred.

"Tonight's about celebrating with our teammates," he said. "That decision will be made in a week or two."

Someone mentioned a hit he took during the game -- in the second quarter, he collided with a pair of Rams defenders after a short catch -- and he replied quickly, "Yeah, my quad. It hurts a lot. I can barely walk right now." He added, his delivery more deadpan than joyful: "But it's all good, because we're Super Bowl champs."

After the hit, Gronkowski, who played every snap, staggered off the field. Whenever he suffers a blow -- he has endured more than most players, in part because his gigantic frame makes it difficult for defenders to tackle him any other way -- he limps like a cinematic monster hobbled by arrows. The effect is similarly heartbreaking. Gronkowski had surgery on his spine before entering the league (explaining why the Patriots were able to snag him in the second round), and he has experienced a litany of painful injuries and operations over the years. This season, he missed three regular-season games, reportedly because he was suffering from Achilles tendinitis and a bulging disc in his back.

Earlier in the week, he acknowledged how difficult it has been for him to come back at times.

"Try to imagine getting hit all the time, and trying to be where you want every day in life," he said. "It's tough. It's difficult. To take hits to the thigh, to take hits to your head, abusing your body ... isn't what the brain wants."

After his news conference at the Super Bowl, Gronkowski trudged to the locker room, where he started peeling his pads off. As a staffer pulled his nametag off his locker (empty, save for a roll of tube socks and a half-eaten sandwich), Tom Brady's personal trainer, Alex Guerrero, walked over and gently unwrapped the tape on his arm. While his teammates sprayed champagne and danced on one side of the room, Gronkowski was quiet -- solemn, almost. A reporter asked him where he was partying, and he muttered in response: "We'll see, we'll see."

When he had changed into a towel, the large scar on his shoulder shiny with sweat, it was evident that his right thigh was absurdly swollen, to the point where it looked bloated. His movements were halting. I asked him if he was looking forward to the offseason -- potentially, the rest of his life -- and he smiled softly, "I'm super excited to just chill."

No reason he should stay as I’m sure he could have a great career at NASA.

If you think old Rob is a HoFer then you have to think Jim is too.

Graham might be. You're ignoring the blocking aspect altogether and just stat whoring though. The "9 years" also glosses over that Gronk played in 115 games, while Graham played in 137, so Gronk's per game averages are MUCH higher.

It's simple -- Gronk is the most dominant tight end I've ever seen. He also helped the Patriots get to, and win, multiple SBs. I don't see any chance that he doesn't get in.

Jimmy Graham can't block. Just like Kelce can't block. Contrary to all you fantasy football lovers, blocking actually matters. Yes Gronkowski is a hall of famer. How many tight ends in the history of the game could block like Gronkowski?

Jimmy Graham is soft as shit. Not a hall of famer. I mean look at how many DB's made Jimmy Graham their bitch. Remember pre-game playoffs when the Seahawks tossed Jimmy Graham out of their side of warm ups?

Imagine being able to pound all the poon you want, while being RETIRED, at 29 years old?

No. He turns 30 in May. Been around forever because he came into the league very young in 2010.

It makes perfect sense. Brady threw a high pass, Gronk tipped it and Ward intercepted the ball. Where ford lined up had ZERO affect on the play.

....and deep down, you KNOW it.

He's not even close to as good as Gonzalez was.

He's Jeremy Shockey with a HOF coach and QB leading the way.

Let's not full on crazy. Gonzo maybe not but Shockey? Gronk is an all time great. Really is not a question. Fortunate where he played but he's a great player.

We had them beat. Ford screwed us and the refs. They would have never thrown that flag on the Pats.

He's been pretty banged up. So if he does, it's understandable.
