Antonio Gates was better than Travis Kelce and Rob Gronkowski

"See how he attacks the ball in the air on that play Bob? He developed those skills playing basketball."


every game
lol

Lol...Every single game...I was a San Diego Charger fan during that time so watched Every game and Every time he did that lil post type move in the middle of the field you were gonna hear that

Hernandez would have been better than all 3 if he didn't choose serial killing over football

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

Gates did everything better than Gronk. And Gates had puppy with perpetual diarrhea throwing him the football.

negged and the 4 idiots that dapped this

 

[duncanthetall]

Ridiculously stupid thread. No

 

[JLova]

Gronk might have been the most dominant ever but Kelce's consistency and longevity has to mean something when it's all said and done. Gates was a beast too though and was probably as good as both at his best.

Kelce also balled with Alex Smith. Gronk balled with Brady. I don't like picking the best because they're all great in their own right. Also folk sell the old timers like Gates and Gonzalez short. Out of sight out of mind I guess.

Just like you did with Kellen sMoore Winslow and John Mackey.

Just like you did with Kellen Moore and John Mackey.

Kellen Moore??? You mean Winslow

 

[filial_piety]

Gates simply suffered from being a low profile, on a non contending team. If not for that we'd all be talking about him as one of the greats.

He's better than Kelce, but he and Gronk are debatable imo....if i had to choose either one who was healthy, i'd probably go with gronk

I have no idea what you're talking about.

You wouldn’t.

Gronk is in the discussion for greatest blocking TEs of all-time and in the discussion for greatest receiving TEs of all-time. Kelce & Gates are only in one of those groups.

Enough said. Gronk is the biggest mismatch in NFL history. He has 14 receiving TDs in 20 playoff games. He is in Jerry Rice company as a playoff receiver & there is no one else in their echelon. The nerds bringing up counting stats are intentionally omitting the fact that Gronk has played one 16 game full season since entering the league. On a per game basis, he’s the most productive receiving TE in league history.

Instead of trying to knock Gronk down a peg & diminishing Antonio Gates in the process, let’s acknowledge the reality that part two of the Patriots dynasty is impossible without Gronk & thats the reason Brady dragged him out of retirement to play in TB.

It was amazing to watch him cook

 

[Gator48]

Gronk is the GOAT TE....he blocks too

 

[Controversy]

No he wasn't...he was good tho, Gronk is a diff breed

Hernandez was excellent, but I believe there have been more players similar to him than Gronk. I absolutely loved watching him play. If they continued to play together, they would have been an all-time duo..



Some of the moves Hernandez could make were just........
