Re: Report: Rob Gronkowski tore his ACL
They have to re-shape the entire receiving corps IMO. Belichick was ahead of the curve with the whole TE-centric offense, but it's now officially over I think. Obviously they have to look at TE in the off-season, but not like it's the end of the world if they can't find Gronk or Hernandez type guys. I'm pulling for Dobson, KT, etc., but it's time to bring a top-tier WR or two in here. 2007 all over again.
Feel really bad for Gronk but starting with this offseason the Patriots need to start to move away from him as a key player in the offense. Sorry but Gronk isn't going to get healthier as he gets older and this team cannot continually be in a position of having the reshape their O after Gronk's annual injury. They need to look at Gronk as simply an O lineman on the depth chart and retool the TE position.
