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."

Gronkowski is a significantly better TE than Gonzalez ever was. You might as well compare Jimmy Graham and Gonzalez.

All I know is what matters, which is that Dee Ford was like a full yard offsides, the call was correctly made, there was no interception, and the Patriots won.

Nothing else matters one damn bit.

When you play the position like a man you get hurt. That’s why Tony was so durable.

Another way is that some players compile impressive stats in the regular season, and then don't do much when the lights shine their brightest and the level of competition increases.

While other players rise to the occasion and show their true mettle.
By this logic every swinging dick who put on a Patriots helmet and got a ring is headed to the HOF.

Gronk is a good tight end in the right place at the right time.

He has never been as good as Gonzalez, and if he played 20 years ago like Gonzalez his numbers wouldn't be nearly as inflated.

You should find another sport to analyze. Between this and "Brady is DONE" back in 2014, you seem to be pretty bad at football.

Of course, that doesn't necessarily make him more manly. Just not as smart.

I mean, he does eat Tide Pods.
