and your leaving out tony g?

He played at a high level for a long time, but on a per game basis he really isn't anything special compared to the other great TE of his era. Gronk and Mackey both crushed the other TE of their respective eras and were both great run and pass blockers to boot. Gonzalez was a terrible blocker most of his career and only really improved that aspect of his game at the tail end of his career.

gonzo revolutionized the TE position however, He ushered in the receiving TE

Fuck... all of the times I’ve been insulted on here that was the only one that truly hurt. I feel young and act it too and then I look in the mirror and see nothing but grey. That hurt bro!
That is why I have no mirrors in my house.

We all know his lack of love for Senor Belichick, part of me thinks he did this after FA and all the TE's have signed as a last FU.

Shut up, dumbass :L

Retired till late august.


Had this conversation with my boys a few hours ago and it mirrors what Willie McGinest has been saying since before the SB. Gronk doesn't need OTAs or training camp at this point in his career and while he may in fact be done for good, no one will be surprised if he gets antsy by week 6 or 8 and decides he has a bit more left in the tank.

We shall see.........................

Tony G. is soft as fuck and he doesn't exist without the ones I mentioned as well as a half dozen others changing the position before he finished high school.
