Re: Gronk for Revis?
At first I thought this was a ludicrous question. Then after a moment I thought, hmmm, the top player at one position for the top player at another. Maybe this was a question worthy of response. Then for the reasons below, is sank back into the ludicrous category, but I'd already started the post.
1. Revis' contract, Compared to Gronk's there's no comparison
2. Revis' injury situation. Compared to Gronk's there's no comparison
3. Position importance is the final nail in the coffin to this bad idea.
The best TE in the league can have a bigger impact on the offense, in BOTH the passing and running games, than the best CB can have on the defense. In running and blocking the TE will be involved in far more plays than any CB can. The Pats have proven over the last 2 years that you can somewhat "marginalize" Revis by simply avoiding him. You can't avoid the impact of the Gronk.
