Default Gronk - Where's the love?

Maybe I'm just missing it, but is anyone in the national media saying much about Gronkowski? He's basically a lock to break the record he temporarily had before they reviewed it and is an absolute beast out there.

Considering he's a TE and has to block quite a bit (something he's pretty good at as well), I'd say he's just about as valuable a weapon in the offense as Welker is.

And it's not that TE's don't get recognized, I remember so many promo pieces on Gates, Gonzalez, etc. over the years

Best TE in the game right now, c'mon, show him some love!

Most of the TV coverage I've been exposed to has NFL commentators dropping their jaws in awe of what Gronk is achieving.

I don't know...i think Gronk is pretty widely recognized as one of the best TEs in the league by now.

Gronk is getting a healthy amount of recognition, IMO and deservedly so.

He may not have the overall receiving numbers of Jimmy Graham, but at the PoA he is every bit Daniel Graham. He really manhandles people.

Check out this story: Break It Down: Rob Gronkowski keeps on dominating – Audibles.

Gronk is definitely getting everyone's attention these days.

The only flaw in GRONK's game is that he has yet to produce any GRONKlings for Baby Brady.

My impression has been that Gronk is getting a ton of national media as the best tight end in the game. ESPN won't stop fawning over him.

The OP might think this because all we ever hear is how GB/Rodgers are going to win every game for the next 10 years. Kinda overshadowing...

I think Gronk is getting a lot of media love. One thing he definitely deserves is mention in the MVP. If he isn't in the top ten in voting, then he is being disrespected. He'll have 15-17 TD catches (blowing away the record), might have 90+ catches and 1000+ yards by the end of the season. That doesn't happen every year for TE's. He needs to be in the Offensive MVP discussion.
