Get some practice in and get ready for the playoffs. A healthy Gronk would have given us the Superbowl in 2011 or 2012.
Maybe we should hold out Brady and play JAG at QB until the OL settles down
No offense, but not this crap again.
You don't keep a player especially the player as good as Gronk out of games for the entire season to save him for the playoffs. His injury last year could have happen the first play he came back.
If Gronk can play, you play him. You might ease him back into things, but you don't stash him until January.

So Gronk wasn't supposed to confirm anything?
'With all due respect to Rob... " Pretty funny by BB. I can imagine Gronk himself got a bit of the less-amused Belichick.
This is actually a good sign — kind of puts the "decoy statement" idea to rest.
“With all due respect to Rob, I’m glad he feels the way he does, but in the end, we’ll have to make the decision we feel like is best for the team,” Belichick said.

Just massaging the conspiracy theory......kind of puts the "decoy statement" idea to rest.
Given belichick's past history of benching good players if they say something to the press in violation of one of the Hoodie's commandments (ala Welker in the 2009 playoffs right before the raven game), i wouldn't be surprised if gronk were benched for the first half.
Nah. There is a qualitative difference. Wes was goading Rex and doing it in a pretty rude way.
Rude or not, this is one of BB's worst coaching decisions. Can't believe they lost the game to the freakin Jets who they destroyed a few weeks before that game.
Benching Gronk for his comments would rank up there with stupid coaching decisions.
