Argument is still invalid. He made it through an entire, record setting season in 2011 and got injured in the AFCCG, making him a little more than a decoy (or a ******* decoy, as the Giants defenders put it). Football players get injured sometimes. That could happen whether it's in a regular season setting or in the playoffs. Sorry, but it's mind boggingly stupid to shelf your best players for the playoffs for fear of injury. By that logic, Brady, Mayo, Revis, Mankins, McCourty, and Wilfork should all be shelved until the playoffs.
Those players haven't sustained injuries with the same frequency Gronk has. The majority of Gronk's injuries have occurred in the regular season. I am confident that if he is shelved until the playoffs he can give us 3 or 4 games. He gave us more than that last year after his return. Heck, Percy Harvin missed the entire year and was one of Seattle's best offensive weapons in the SB.
