Content Post Would you rather have had Moss from 01-09 or Gronk from 10-18?

No debate. Moss can not block like Gronk. We go, and have gone, and will go as far as our offensive line is taking us. I am finding a way to add more dogs to the offensive line if I am a Wolfe. Stat.

Gronk, we won Super Bowls with him

Gronk

With the NEP Randy played in 64 of a possible 64 games.

Over 9 seasons Gronk missed basically 2 full regular seasons and multiple playoff games.

If Gronk was a durable as Randy, i'd pick Gronk but that wasn't the case.

Wonder who TB12 would pick if you asked him this question!

Moss. No questions asked. I love Gronk and what he did but Moss was more durable.

He would not give a straight answer.

Deep down I think he would take Gronk.

Great question, love Gronk but I’m taking Moss. No player in NFL history scared defenses more than Moss.

Maybe a package of Terry Glenn, 2002 2nd rd pick Deion Branch, maybe also 2002 1st round pick Daniel Graham.

The Pats should've taken Ed Reed.

Moss. No questions asked. I love Gronk and what he did but Moss was more durable.

I don't think many people remember how good the Pats 1st dynasty was. Had Moss been drafted or added shortly after the 2001 season and Tom tear his ACL in 2008, the Pats are 3 peating and winning 6 Super Bowls within the first 10 years alone. That's how good they were. The young DL of Seymour, Wilfork and Warren were 2nd to none and the NFL was scrambling to copy the Pats 3-4. In addition, Jarvis Green was a really good back up End. The rest of the supporting cast on offense and defense were solid.

As for Gronk's durability, most of his was not his fault. Defenders had to resort to diving at his knees because it was that difficult to tackle him. The broken forearm in 2012 was a result of one of Bill's worst coaching decisions.

Gronk never quit on the team. Played the Super Bowl with a bad ankle and was open in the end zone but the ball was underthrown.

Moss 100% he had CB' ****ting their pants.

We've not seen a WR come into the league and take it by storm like he did in 1998. He was roasting veteran CB's all year long.

Can we talk about how he basically cemented Cris Carter's HoF career as well?

 

[stinkypete]

Give me Gronk because he was consistently more fun to watch.

I don’t know if Moss would have fit on the ‘01 - ‘04 teams. He needed the humbling of his Raiders years, paired with the growing legend of Belichick, to accept the culture here, and even that only lasted 3 years.

I agree on both counts!

Is this post a joke or do you seriously think BB was here for the 1998 draft?

My bad. I just checked. BB didn't take over till 2000. My mistake. So I suppose it was Parcells' fault then.
