Sports Illustrated: Gronk wouldn't be Gronk if he didn't play for Patriots

Gronk wouldn't be Gronk if he didn't play for Pats

I think this is a insightful article, but the title is blatantly provocative. I'd rather the title say that "Gronk is perfectly suited for the Pats" rather than suggest that Gronk is a "system" TE

Well then Jerry Rice wouldn't be who he was if he didn't go to the 49ers and play with Montana and then Young.

"a system tight end"...hmmm...is that anything like "they hate their coach" or "11 of 12 footballs were 2 pounds under!"?

 

[venecol]

Well then I'm certainly glad he plays for the Patriots.

He says that in the article.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I thought it was a decent read.

And Peyton wouldn't be Peyton if he never had Bill Polian sitting on the competition committee.

 

[JMC00]

He says that in the article.

Well if i'm being honest I didn't get that far in the article. Stopped reading right before his 4 reasons.

Wow, Gronk has gotten to the level where people have to search for ways to demean him.

Must be one of the greatest ever.

The logic here is unassailable. Gronk is a superior physical talent whose play is enhanced by virtue of the fact that he plays with the GOAT QB and is coached by the GOAT coach who has consistently put him in schemes to maximize his talent. It's all good ...

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

Gronk's blessed with physical talent. I am just glad he's here catching passes from the goat. That's all i care about.

It's all the way at the very end, last sentence I think. He also says same about Emmitt Smith.

By the way, old friend Rodney pretty much nails it here:

Former Patriot Rodney Harrison agrees that landing in New England helped Gronkowski maximize his skills, along with others. “You could say the same thing about me, Tom Brady, Tedy Bruschi, Mike Vrabel ... a bunch of guys,” Harrison said on Thursday’s The Dan Patrick Show. “I learned more in six years playing with Bill Belichick then I learned in high school, college and grade school combined.”​

 

[mmasterkillah]

Jerry, Emmitt, and Rob. Pretty good company if you ask me.

 

[PatsWSB47]

That's because the other teams are usually too stupid to match talent to sceem as effectively as the patriots.

 

[Tuck]

Wow, Gronk has gotten to the level where people have to search for ways to demean him.

Must be one of the greatest ever.

...and thePatriots wouldn't be the Patriots unless they cheated.

 

[Wheelman]

Well then Jerry Rice wouldn't be who he was if he didn't use stickum.

Fixed it for you!

Remember when irsay was bragging about Joe smart the colts were for not taking groin? Gronk is a game changer on any team, but it certainly helps to have the g.o.a.t throwing to you.
