Default Hernandez or Gronkowski?

Hopefully this question never happens, atleast anytime soon but what if we had to let one of them go for any reason. Which TE would we keep and why? I was just wondering, no reasoning invloved.

We all know that both TEs have a different set of skills. Hernandez strives at the receiving end and Gronk is a much better blocker but has nice receiving skills as well.

Who would you keep?

It's just too easy to pick Gronks on this one but I have to say that this doesn't mean I want AH to go anywhere because he's a damn good player, too.

IMO they don't even play the same position.

I agree Hernandez presents a lot of problems for opposing defenses in space. LBers can't cover him so that brings someone out of the secondary to cover him, which creates more opportunities for the other Patriot recievers.

I look at it like Hernandez works best in space, between the 20's, then you bring in Gronkowski to close the deal around the goal line.

Just think how much better a blocker Gronkowski will be next season after an offseason with Woicik.

How lucky are we to even be able to contemplate this question?

Hopefully they're both here their entire careers, although with the NFL the way it is, it probably won't happen.

To answer, I think the obvious choice is Gronk based on his blocking ability and exceptional red-zone production.

In some ways, I think these guys are similar to the Antonio Gates/Vincent Jackson combo, although I sincerely believe Gronkowski may even have more potential than Gates, particularly as an in-line blocker. Hernandez reminds me of a big WR in the V.Jax type more than a complete TE, although that will surely change as he develops. It's shocking that he is literally the NFL's youngest player.
