This. We won 3 Super Bowls before Gronk, one when he was injured, and another in his last year where he was a shadow of himself. We only won with prime Gronk in 2014. That's not to say he wasn't tremendously important to this team, but it's possible to win without a super elite all time great TE on the roster and for most teams their TE is just a serviceable guy who can put up some production and block, or a glorified WR.
I agree, but that Shadow came up with game changing catches in the last 2 playoff games. Hoping, going to some big receiver sets will give the team similar results in dire situations.
