Official "GRONKED!" thread

[NEP4Life]

From Grantland.com writer Bill Barnwell's latest entry:

New England Patriots 37, New York Jets 16

Fabulous: Rob Gronkowski. The Jets have some of the best linebackers and cornerbacks in the league, but they really struggle to cover Gronkowski. How bad of a mismatch was Gronkowski? The Jets actually moved Darrelle Revis off of Wes Welker to cover Gronkowski at times during the second half. The only other tight end in the league that Revis sees reps against is Antonio Gates. Gronkowski was 8-of-11 for 113 yards with two touchdowns, and if not for a stray footstep in the end zone, it would have been three. What he's doing as a red zone threat is unprecedented; teams know the Patriots are going to go to him and still don't seem to have a prayer of stopping him. Gronkowski is now two touchdowns away from becoming just the second tight end in NFL history to score 10 or more touchdowns in back-to-back seasons, a distinction he will also solely share with Gates. And keep in mind that no tight end has ever been able to score more than 10 touchdowns in a season more than three times in his career. Gronkowski's about to do it twice in his first two seasons. This could be the best tight end ever, folks.

Chris

But... Belichick can't draft.

How many years left on Gronk's contract?

Wait until he gets Krafty's "value" extension offer.

Another genious who doesn't realize that we have the highest paid NT, highest paid OG and second highest paid QB in the NFL... :bricks:

Glad you agree. Add Welker and Mayo extensions to that mix, and it's pretty much a lock that all Krafty will have for Gronk is "value."

Added: According to some Googling, Mayo's contract is up after 2012, and Gronk's is up after 2013. Who gets the "value" deal?

So let's forget the many horrible draft picks by BB?

The new TV contract scheduled for 2014 says hi.

GRONK says to keep the negativity out of his thread.

 

[Big-T]

The NFL have fined him 7.5k for the spike against the Jets

There will always some who will constantly remind us, so we will never be able to forget.

Gronk has a good game, but I got so scared for him when he landed on his neck. My god Gronk, please protect yourself.

I held my breath when I saw him come down on his neck-Thankful he was not injured on that play!

 

[NEP4Life]

ROFL. That crazy Polack. "You watch Bill, I do flip for you."

 

[Sparetire]

As Elaine from seinfeld said after having sex with Paddy: That was a duzzy. it sure was.

by the way, i think gronk totally saved brady's butt in the game, if it wasnt for him im not sure we couldve won it.

 

[Sivy]

Gronk Gronked himself and still got up..its clear now that there is only one man that can stop Gronk

 

[Krugman]

Very scary...lot of weight coming down on the neck,thankfull he wasnt hurt.

Ha! I was more worried about Gronk damaging the field than himself. Boy is the real life terminator.

I don't believe that. GRONK could eat Chuck Norris for breakfast and be hungry to munch on a safety pancake or two well before lunchtime.

Nice try, though. Thanks for playing!

Gronk scared the gronkness out of me on that dangerous fall. Glad to see him on the sidelines moving his neck around. He's probably going to be sore for while.
