[@TheGarbyShow]

I like how Gronk is also basically strictly Tom Brady’s TE. That man is like Tom’s personal mercenary

[@RichardBirdsall]

That is such a perfect way to describe their relationship hahaha

[@wishingb5859]

I genuinely think the fact that Gronk is a ridiculously good blocking tight end is a big part of why Tom Brady is still playing at 43. I say it because I was researching the longevity of positions and tight ends who block are a different species than tight ends who receive. Blocking tight ends only generally last 10 years where receiving tight ends generally last 15 years. Blocking punishes players' bodies. But blocking WELL spares the quarterback's body.

[@RichardBirdsall]

@@wishingb5859 that is something that never would have crossed my mind, but it makes total sense as to why they work so well together. The guy has always been a tank who works best when pointed in the right direction and let loose like the dogs of war haha! I might have to float this idea at the next poker game to look smart, thanks!

[@wishingb5859]

@@RichardBirdsall I have been seriously enjoying reading the lifespan of each position. Mahomes has about 3 years left with his speed before a whole bunch of 22-year-olds are going to be sacking him 30 yards back while he is running away. If he ages like the fast running positions normally do and yet, the media keeps calling him the GOAT. But he will have to develop skillsets that Tom Brady started working on back in Michigan and Tom worked on them because he wasn't fast. Tom said that he wants to work on being quicker next season and what I will say is that is harder to do because speed tends to correlate with age. But Tom has been developing skills that age so well and Mahomes hasn't had to yet.

@@wishingb5859 Exactly. See R. Wilson on my ‘Hawks. He is now very slow compared to his first 2 seasons. Whenever he’s pirouetted this year and turned his back to the D he’s been sacked. I still have faith in his skills but the coaching needs improvement

[@aesir1ases64]

Yes but every teams does those things, Chiefs only got the rep and the refs took on them all the flags that should have been called all year long. The holding call on the INT was a flat out joke of a call for example. If the refs think that was really holding then they should call at least 10 of those penalties during the game to be consistent. And I say that as a neutral fan, biased refs but the Bucs completely outcoached and outperform the Chiefs, no excuses for the defeat though.

You can find some fault with most position players but Gronk has none.

[@connorberglund7032]

Kelce had a higher run blocking grade from PFF last year then Gronk (79.5 vs 76.5). As far as pass blocking goes, Travis doesn’t really partake.

[@peterrobertson2580]

@@connorberglund7032 That's an interesting stat ... but Gronk has 7 seasons at a 90.0+ PFF to 1 for Kelce. www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/ld7020/pff_seasons_with_a_90_pff_grade_rob_gronkowski_7/ Look, my point is not to detract from Kelce ... he's a great TE. But when you try to compare Kelce as a blocking end to Gronk, even PFF acknowledges that Kelce's damage is done through the air. It just means that Gronk creates more options for an offense than Kelce can ... he can contribute on every play in a way that would be more of a challenge for Kelce. He's still one of the best on the game.

I'd like to add that Brady brought THE single most important thing that Bill Belichick preaches to his players that keeps the whole roster from making costly mistakes. "Do your job!" That's why there are 11 players on the field. Everyone has a job and an assignment. Don't try to do too much. Maybe playing flag or backyard football, one man can do it all. But that's why these guys are the best in the world! Of course also a few of the best EVER!

[@matthewgood8864]

Gronk is a gamer, will do anything he asked. True beast

[@StevenGSchassler]

"Wingspan" and overall athleticism. Shoelace catches and one-handed lay-outs. Softest hands and tracks and adjusts for a pass like no other. Cross between a Ballerina and a TE. Remember his big catch against the Rams in SB LIII where he somehow dove sideways bracketed by two defenders and caught the ball on the 2 - 3 yard line nearly parallel to the field. The fade left end zone against the Packers first game Gronk was playing with a dislocated right shoulder, pirouettes in the air and catches it between his left arm and body. He gets up with the ball with everyone expecting the "Gronk Spike"...Gronk hesitates, realizing that he can't lift his right arm and that a Left-handed Spike would look lame, so he just walks off the field. I was surprised that neither commentator knew or commented on Gronk playing hurt. Gronk and BA likely downplayed it during the week.

[@Bones12x2]

Absolutely, I said after the game that if the Chiefs had a guy like Kittle instead if Kelce, that single difference would have given them a chance in the game. And all the Kelce nut hangers called me an idiot. All Kelce did was rack up some garbage time stats after being down three TDs while Mahomes had to run around for his life on every play because he had no blocking. Imagine if a guy like Gronk or Kittle was playing on the end if the line and shutting down the pass rush. It would open up the run, it would force the Bucs to bring and extra man to get pressure which gives Hill a chance to get open, and it buys Mahomes more time to make clean throws... and later in the game you start sneaking the TE out behind the LBs and with a guy like Kittle, that can be a massive play.... but nah... lets just have Kelce run pointless routes while Mahomes is getting crushed.

[@danlorett2184]

They almost never have Kelce block. They never ran 2 TEs for more blocking either even when it was VERY OBVIOUS their O-line couldn't handle the TB pass rush. They made practically no adjustments all game which is nuts to me.

[@erlstone]

Gronk was the deciding factor, what a performance and I may be just seeing things I want to see (from you great vid analysis) but it looks like he definitely has a real intimidation factor going....he has the jump on everyone he faces, they all look like they hesitate against him... and who wouldn't!!

well yes the tight end position is usually the biggest skill position on offense. jk i think him and mike evans are the most dangerous on the offense as they are both basically unstoppable. antonio brown's routes are also pretty much unstoppable too. the thing is, there's so many "first options" on that offense that there isn't any defense that could cover all of them. especially when the run game is going well. glad to see this season not go to waste with such a stacked roster for the bucs. especially lavonte david and mike evans who have been the most slept on players in the league due to being on a trash team. you love to see it

@Anthony Hayes I’ll still take Gronk over kelce rn. Gronk is more clutch. He’s a all around better player. He can block , run block , pass block, and a great receiver. These are somethings that kelce can’t do. Kelce can’t block if his life was on the line.

Kelce was getting locked by a linebacker 😂😂😂😂. Gronk was putting up number while getting double team or triple team. Kelce wouldn’t be able to put number if he was getting the same treatment Gronk was getting.

I was arguing that with a Kelce fan before the Super Bowl and Gronk demonstrated it exactly in blocking and receiving. He could have received all year long but there were so many receivers on the field and the bigger need was protecting Brady.

[@CrimsonUltrafox]

Single covering Gronk in the red zone...SMH, when will these people learn? You can't leave him singled in the endzone...he's too big and too good.

[@timsmith1687]

That’s the beauty of this Tampa offense... you can’t double everyone, Evans, Godwin, AB, Gronk.... Miller can take the roof off of any defense, Johnson(watch his regular season footage), Brate can catch jump balls over the middle and run good routes...... just wait till Brady has Howard back next year. Once that happens, it will be a turkey shoot.

[@michaelg7904]

[@christophermoore3182]

@@timsmith1687 I hear this argument all the time and my counter is: who do you double him with? If you put Safeties and CBs on Gronk, TB12 goes over the top, and Gronk's too big and strong for those players? How about a LB? Not fast enough to keep up. And again, if you do double RG87, that leaves other players open. And people are forgetting that OJ Howard was lost after Week 4...I agree that the Bucs will be an incredible team next year...and should be the odds-on favorite to win SB LVI...

[@danlorett2184]

You can't double everyone. They have 4 receivers (if Gronk is running a route) that are a threat in man coverage - Evans, Godwin, AB, and Gronk. Miller is a guy who can still make plays in single coverage but you don't expect him to win that matchup all the time like someone like AB, Godwin, or Evans. Brate is a good TE but not as much of a receiving threat.

Blocking from the tightend position was always a ton of fun. Especially blocking down on middle linebackers on a toss play. They usually had their eyes in the backfield and it was a huge collision. Sometimes you’d get both of them. Tightend highlights are my favorite.

No, but he still blocks quite well for someone who is without question the best receiving TE in league history.

Gelene Celine You guys are so ignorant... Kelce was literally ranked as a better blocking TE then Gronk last season. (79.5 for Kelce, and 76.5 for Gronk). Kelce also broke the all time yardage record for a TE in only 15 games of play. I would say Gronk has had the better career so far but they are actually the same age and Kelce could easily pass him up. But as far as the GOAT, that is Tony Gonzalez without a doubt.
