1.) You can't be serious. In 1994 he had the same amount of Touchdowns on nearly 200 more passes. He also threw for 6 more interceptions. He had 2 less yards per attempt. In 95' he reduced the interceptions, but he was still a lot less efficient throwing touchdown passes (4.3 % of passes to 7%). 97 was the only comparable season. Still had less yards per attempt, lower completion percentage, and scored on a lower percentage of passes (5.3% to 7%)

Not at all. He had better years playing for teams that were not as good.
2.) This is obvious, but what's the more likely reason all those QB's achieved so much success? Randy Moss/Cris Carter or just fitting in with the offensive system Minnesota ran? .
You are adding other players to the discussion to make my point. It's not just all about Randy. Never was. A good QB will leverage all the offensive weapons to be sucessful.
3.) He was still the same QB with or without Moss. The numbers he put up were far better when Moss was on the field, however, that isn't debatable..
Circular arguement. DC also had marginal games w/ RM playing..

Back on topic. Gronkowski has been absolutely incredible this season, but I like the answers on this page - it's too early to tell. Let's see what happens in the next few weeks before passing judgement. The position Gronk plays certainly helps. There are very few safeties in the league that can even slow him down, and most linebackers are too slow. Him and Hernandez are just mismatches.
Agree 100%. Despite the other posters, I am a big RM fan. Just see his overall contributions to an offense and overall value to QB a bit less than others. Need multiple weapons for an offense- and a QB to be truly sucessful.
Go Pats!
