Thanks for your support!
He looked done, as in a lot of pain.
Yep, still he had his best game and made the catch that helped bring another Lombardi to Foxboro.
Clutch for a team that was lacking playmakers on offense.

Out of college he had a neck issue which made some teams take him off their boards .
He had a surprisingly long career thanks to a grueling workout regiment.
Gronk's talent was never in doubt.
I’ve read he’s really a smart guy and good with his money .
My football IQ isn’t as high as some of y’alls, but Gronk being best ever seems a bit much since he benefited playing with GOAT Brady. Gronk, when healthy is one of the best, but even then would you take any of these 5 TEs over him?
Tony Gonzalez
Antonio Gates
Jason Witten
Travis Kelce
Shannon Sharpe
Best TE of all time.
Maybe top 10 best players of all time.
The only comparison that any of them has is in the passing game. Not a single one of them can even be mentioned in the same breath as far as blocking goes. No guy on that list had to be schemed for more by defenses than Gronk. Totally unguardable one on one. By far the best hands as well.
You would think after last yr, posters would appreciate a GREAT blocking TE, but I guess not.

Gronk's high-water mark for receptions is 90. Tony G. eclipsed that 5 times...including the aforementioned 93 in his 16th seasons....with Elvis Grbac Trent Green Damon Huard Brody Croyle Tyler Thigpen & Matt Ryan throwing to him.He talked of retirement at 33. But at 34, he caught 70 passes. At 35, he caught 80. This season, he was an absolute phenomenon. He’s 36 years old and he caught 93 passes.
Do you know how many receivers older than 35 have caught 93 or more passes in a season?
One. Just one. Tony Gonzalez. Not even Jerry Rice did it.
I'd vote for Gronk on a HoF ballot. Hell, he's the greatest post-season TE in history.
But I'd never make him the best TE of all-time (much less Top 10 players overall).
I'll take this guy instead... http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/40927752/

Hate to break it to you, but Tony G. is likely the 2nd best blocker among the top TEs. I'd advise checking the Chiefs rushing vs. the league average during his career.Tony G was nothing but a glorified receiver that rarely ever blocked anyone.
Teams never game planned for him like they have for Terminator, and Gronk still made circus catches with two guys hanging off of him.
Teams also never had to wonder what Gonzo was doing on every play when he was in motion, because they knew all he was going to be asked to do was to run routes. Gronk is an unknown on every play which makes it harder for the defenses to guess what the offense is doing based on formation and where Gronk is lined up. Dual threat TE's are like finding platinum in a world full of gold.

I'm of the star that shines brightest, not the longest, school. And no TE shined brighter than Gronk. He dominated games. Yes, he was injured. A lot. That's because he put his body on the line like no other TE. Sure, he had Brady. Rice had Montana and Young. Maybe Gronk would never have been Gronk had he played for the Browns. But, he played for the Patriots. And was unbelievable.

I didn't get to see Jim Brown, other than film clips. He looked like a man playing among boys. I stipulate that he's the greatest back ever. Earl, Eric, and OJ would be my next 3, in any order. They dominated the games they played. They were they the greatest I've seen with my own eyes.So that means u believe guys like Earl Campbell and Eric Dickerson are your GOAT b/c none shined brighter than those guys in their 1st 4-5 seasons.
