Clear number 1 is Gonzalez and no one is close, my number 2 is Gates and 3 is Casper . I think you could make an argument for Gronk as high as 2 or as low as 6 but in no world is he number 1.

You're full of shit. Anyone who knows what they're talking about would easily take Gronkowski over those three.

Casper, he says. Gotta be fucking joking me

For career? Lol. Not a shot. If you're speaking solely potential greatness and a few seasons then sure. But then Gale Sayers is the best RB ever, Randy Moss the best hideout ever , Michael Strahan in the best DL ever etc. There's no world on which Gronk is better than Gonzalez and you've really got to stretch to have him ahead of Gates

Again, you could pull aside any GM worth a shit in this league, and tell him, "hey, i need you to put together an offense and you have your pick of gronk, gates, casper and gonzalez, i guarantee that 9 times out of 10, that gm is taking gronk, easily. I get it, you hate the pats, and for good reason: they ruined your superbowl sunday, and theyve dominated the league for a long time. I hate them too. But dont be ridiculous

I actually really like the Pats. Brady is easily the best QB of all time and a lot if their guys are severely underrated. There's just no reasonable way to say Gronk has had a better career than Gonzalez or Gates. Duds has like 1/3 of the receptions and yards as Gonzalez. And if you told those GMs you'd get a guy who gets 400 catches for 6000 yards and is hurt 50% of the time or a guy who is never hurt and gets 1300 catches for 16k yards there's no way they take guy A. Zero. You're debating who was best in their prime. That's not the same as best ever.

Francis was great. Fringe top 10 all time. I've got Gronk 4th right now but man he could've been top 2 for sure if he just could've stayed healthy
ben coates would have been great too

if he didnt shove off every single time

his career fell apart once the refs caught onto him.

I was joking. Francis was pretty good, but...............................

Gronkowski is the bestest, most impactful TE ever IMO. I doubt he'll play long enough to compile yardage numbers that would put him at the top of the list.

Sure that's the difference between best prime and actual best ever. What's the old saying?? The best ability is availability lol

Let's not forget that along with his all world receiving skills Gronk is a beast of a blocker. You ain't gonna find many highlights of Gonzalez pancaking O-linemen.

But, but, but all there is to playing tight end is catching curl routes! Blocking is for linemen!

Quite interesting. Gronk may have injury issues but he's still a talented player. I'd be glad to have him on the Colts if he wanted to join the team.

I like Dave Casper as much as anyone but I think Gronk is one of the best TE's I've seen play since like forever.

The dude has nothing left to prove. He's got SB rings - he's a first ballot HOF lock - as of now he's the best tight end ever.

No.

Tony Gonzalez, Todd Cristienson, Kellen Winslow, Antonio Gates, Shannon Sharpe, Ozzie Newsome and Jason Witten and millions of football fans disagree.

No way. I don't see any team, regardless of need at TE, being willing to give up a boatload for an injury-plagued dude like him.
Lions GM is a retard.


And seems to love former Pats.


If any franchise is dumb enough it's Detroit. And they don't have a TE anymore.

John Mackey, Mark Bavaro, Mike Ditka,


I can list TE's too! :D

Gronk is the best evah!


But, have they ever made up a legendary name for one of Gronk's catches?

"Ghost to the Post" Dave Casper, Raiders.
"The Catch" Dwight Clark, 49ers.

Well except for "The Catch" what else did Dwight Clark really do with his career?

Casper was better but it wasn't even that great a catch.
