Stay off the crack. Gonzo played longer and with bums. Gronk won't sniff his stats. Gronk has been a beast but he's not significantly better than Gonzo. That's just sounds stupid. Gronk is done, he will need a cane in a few years.

Gronk cant even be mentioned in the same breathcas Gomzalez or Kelce. Hes just not as talented and has always had Tom Brady.

I don't think so. He's under contract, so to retire he has to file retirement papers I think. Could he file them and then change his mind? Maybe. Pats would still own his rights. Not sure what happens to the old contract. Pro-rated for the portion of the season that he plays? No idea.
Mark Bavaro, who spent a few years with BB in Cleveland, came out publicly saying that BB gave him a much reduced workload those last few years and that BB shoudl do the same for Gronk. I agree. I don't much care about how he does in September, we need him in Jan/Feb.

Hey OP wasn't Brady supposed to be done already? Your threads outside of Mahomes are trash tier.

Bradys 2 td and 3 int playoff performance is hardly good. Only reason he won was Dee Ford penalty on the same play he threw another int. Lucky overrated mother ****er.

I go back to that 4th down miracle throw against the Ravens. Two(one of them) ravens DB's blew the coverage, Mahomes should have thrown it to that receiver for a 1st down and get the clock stopped. |

I think the draft narrative is why Brady does get underrated in comparison to other qb's despite all of his accomplishments which include beating out a much more hyped QB in college that was a local favorite. Fans can point to all of his "good luck" which is often true to a certain extent since football in part is a game of luck but they forget to mention his bad luck. In his first two Super Bowl losses, the most important Patriot(Brady) and the second most important Patriot(Gronk) were playing hurt. Gronk's injury was severe. It was more minor but even against Philly Brady was playing hurt and Hightower/Edelman were out with season ending injuries and Cooks got concussed early. Injuries and freak plays are a part of the game -- Chiefs had them vs Patriots -- and the Patriots have had those things go for them and go against them. But in general have designed the team with a bit more depth so they can overcome injuries to starters like Chung or Rodney Harrison in the Super Bowl. Anyways, Brady beat out a former #1 pick in the draft who had very recently signed the first 100 million dollar contract for a QB in the NFL and had made pro bowls and had helped his team to Super Bowl several years earlier. And even when he was older and had lost his job was I believe still traded for a first round pick. Brady excels at doing things that win a bunch of football games in the short to long run. He doesn't excel at doing things that look great at an NFL combine. But realistically, he has always had enough arm strength to get the job done and after a certain point, increased arm strength if you are throwing passes your hardest is a negative since receivers more likely to drop them. |

once he retires, he'll go from part-time, to full-time Bro.

Gronk will probably take about 69 more days to decide.

Gronk has to have permission from Brady to retire. He won't as long as he doesn't have it.
