Re: Gronk needs an off-season chaperone
yes....because he plays in a way that increases the chances of injury....tries for an extra yard like few others, lands on his head in the end zone, etc.....he is who is is both on and off the field......
in terms of front office concern, I believe what he can and can't do would be stipulated in his contract.

The fact remains now that this is the 2nd time in a year that he has been injured enough to effect the team negatively in the biggest stage of the season, yet he's managed to wrestle with an arm broken in 2 places, and also made the all intelligent decision of running up the wrong way escalator backwards on a broken ankle.
If that doesn't warrant concern from the front office in protecting their new multi-million dollar investment than I'm not sure what would.
He has the rare opportunity to make millions of dollars at the age of 23, but he also needs to show respect to his employers by putting the team first above brilliant decisions like wrestling with a broken arm.
It's idiotic.
