People forget that Gronk played 42 straight regular season games without missing a game. Other than the big injuries, Gronk is usually one of the more durable guys out there.
BTW, I never liked Mike Freeman. I always found his writing to be pedestrian.
Misleading
Gronk has only completed 1 regular season starting all 16 games - 2011 where he was injured in the AFCC and a decoy in the Super Bowl. Gronk wasn't Gronk until the 2011 season that put him in the same class as Gates, Gonzalez, Graham and the like. If most folks don't really care if Gronk is healthy and involved in every post season game, then there is no concern.
If we exclude NE Patriots post season losses over the last few year we can come up with all sorts of impressive winning percentages. Id rather have another SB Championship banner though.
