People here had me under the impression that he had his leg amputated.

He might have. Perhaps he's walking with a prosthetic.

GRONK. #NFLHonors

Some of us are ahead of the curve.

Both legs, plus that damaged forearm, and a lobotomy (which didn't yield much.). He'll be all set for camp in late July.

Good call by him, imo. No sense in risking any damage to the other one.

No, it's even worse than that. He's from Buffalo.

 

[SoCal Pmen]

Did he stage wrestle anyone? That will be a better sign.

Therein lies the problem. Gronk always moves better off the field.

Although an ACL tear is still a significant injury, it isn't remotely the injury it once was. It is only a matter of time before a player tears their ACL early in the season and will be back for the playoffs.

The Pats need the Gronk. Look at any game he played in last year, he is a complete difference maker. Hopefully he will be completely healthy next year. With Aaron's upcoming aquittal, we can get the whole gang back together (toungue firmly in cheek)!

You are right, the difference between the 12 inch incisions and repair jobs done back in the seventies (sob, Bobby Orr) to the lapiscoptic and micro surgerys of today are night and day. Look at the way Adrian Peterson played after tearing his ACL.

Nothing could stop RoboGronk

I'm telling you, if I were BB I'd bench him until week 18.

Can you imagine if we had a healthy Gronk for the whole year!!!! I think if we add another tight end in the draft and one more in free agency, our offense will be so much better, not only in the red zone but overall.

Absolutely. I think we can hit on a higher percentage of TEs in the draft than we can WRs, due to a number of factors such as lessened responsibilities, additional responsibilities added throughout the course of the season, and a smaller option of routes that include a majority of blocking assignments.

This would allow us to have a "real" receiving threat in the TE game for cheap money via the draft.

The addition/upgrade of another TE via lower level free agency would benefit even more, as guys like Mulligan need to hit the road.

While I understand what you're saying, we also have to keep in mind that our AFCCG appearances have been due to the fact that the team has set itself up for the option of having to win just ONE home game after a 2 week bye due to their excellent regular season records.

In other words, as long as we can get one of the top 2 AFC spots, we have a pretty damn good shot of seeing that AFCCG, so the regular season is very important still. Just imagine the possibility of a one game swing where we'd have hosted the AFCCG vs DEN this season.

2010 and 2011 ring a bell lol. Just been unlucky with torn acl, high ankle sprain and a guy falling and breaking his arm.
