Idk how else to describe his impact, but Gronk is the GOAT TE and it's not close

Watched that dude basically get treated like Prime Moss by defenses. Always had a LB at the LOS and a safety on top. Whenever he had only one defender it was almost an automatic reception. On top of OL level blocking:wow:

How was he the most dominant ever? Again, outside of touchdowns Kelce does what gronk did in his best season, every season.

Gronk NEVER had a 100 catch season and Kelce is working on his 3rd :dwillhuh:

And for as great as his best season was Gronk got a bunch of 40 catches for 600 yards and 5 touchdown catches ? How is that dominant ?

Kelce aint never once ever caught less than 65 passes in a season. Gronk spent half his career not even catching that many passes.

Dude is the ultimate look the part athlete. It sure does look cool when Gronk catches it and runs over some safety and does his little cac dance and spikes the ball. That don't have anything to do with the fact that Kelce has played 2 less years than gronk and ALREADY has more catches than him and will likely eclipse him in yards this year.

Posters in here talking about the dominance of a player where there is a player who plays the same position as him putting up better numbers in less games :dwillhuh:

If you think gronk is dominant then you got to think Gates and Kelce are deity's.

Every time these Gronk threads come up no one calling gronk dominant ever talks about how many catches he had, or how many yards he had, or how many great seasons in a row he had. Me thinks its because if you were to actually do that it would be very easy to show tight ends who did it better for longer...

The hardest part of dominance is consistency. Anybody can have a great year or two or even three. You know why Kelce got 5 straight years of at least 80 catches and 1100 yards ? Cause he is that good. You know why Gronk don't have a stretch of 5 years like that ? Cause he's not good enough to.

I don't even know how you could fix your mouth to even say Gronk was better than Gates. The top 6 years of Gates career are almost as productive as Gronks whole career :dwillhuh:.

We do understand the number one priority of a tight end is to catch the football, get yards, and score right ? Blocking is great but there is a reason why pass catching tight ends go in the second round and blocking tight ends go in the 6th.

Comparing a dude who got over 900 catches to a dude who don't even have 600 ? This is embarrassing even for the coli :gucci:

I mean, you could argue that he's Top 5 Dead or Alive, and that's just off one LP.

He ain't the GOAT tho.
