OT: Official 2020 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[RicoG]

I get your point, but I'd say the comparison is Patriots v. Bears a/k/a Jones v. Fields. And I absolutely understand why the 49ers would want to keep JAG around. What makes it odd to me is the reporting that they actually were willing to trade him to the Patriots, and that contract issues between JAG and the Patriots were the death of any deal.

It will be interesting who does the best of the 5 QB. A lot of it will be coaching and putting the player in the best position to succeed. Those QB that start right away often gets damaged as it is too soon. So hopefully Mac Jones gets to sit for at least part of the year. We'll have a definite answer within 3 years.

I don't even look at Trask as a potential starter but career backup. I saw his highlights and wasn't impressed.

Peyton Manning levels of ballwashing here

What in the actual **** is this graphic???

You know, Trevor Lawrence has never lost to Mahomes or Brady!!

 

[VectorPrime]

Trent Dilfer has never lost a Super Bowl which makes him better than both Brady and Mahomes combined.

Patrick Mahomes is only a .500 quarterback, in the Super Bowl.

That's pathetic.

Guess who beat Patrick Mahomes 2 TIMES in the PLAYOFFS: Tom freaking Brady.

Screw Lawrence! I've never lost in the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs only play division rivals twice in a regular season. So unless I'm reading it wrong they're talking up the fact that Derek Carr, Drew Lock and Rivers/Herbert have never beaten Mahomes and the Chiefs twice in a regular season.

I guess that's good or something.

So is Fivehead.

Dilfer > Manning and Mahomes.

Let's not forget Dan Marino, the Blutarsky of SB QBs. 0.0
Ryan Leaf never lost a Super Bowl!

 

[sb1]

Fun fact: Mahomes has never had a Super Bowl passer rating as high as Trent Dilfer's 80.9 in SB35.

The graphic has a credit to Nick Wright on it which should let you know how ridiculously ill-informed the stat is. The poster who posted it was no doubt in agreement and probably shouted with glee when he saw it.

Not surprsingly, Tom is a strong advocate for players deciding how much stress to put on their bodies. Pretty much the same issues with Guerrero and the Patriots.

 

[VectorPrime]

He’s a football player performing near his prime at 43/44. Yes I understand he’s a QB which is much healthier than other positions. But he’s doing something right in terms of load management.

They've got a lot of front line talent. Depth, chemistry, and belief are going to be the questions.

I decided to revisit one of the best threads evah. It should be fun seeing the posts now and what some of the predictions were back then.

They ended up with enough depth and the chemistry/belief combo were taken care of by Brady. Check.

 

[1960Pats]

The true fan hardos will hate this thread lol

Boy did that end up being spot on.

 

[1960Pats]

Oh trust me, I know. I'm just hoping the thread doesn't get closed because it devolves into garbage because people can't just be cool. I hope they just stay out of the clearly titled thread altogether. *wishfully thinking*

You did great young man.

 

[1960Pats]

Just speaking for myself, maybe others disagree (though I doubt it) but I don't personally have an issue with one thread centered on the Tampa goings-on. It may be for the best since talk about what they're doing is inevitable and would otherwise be scattered across other threads leading to likely bickering. At least this way things are centralized and we can "focus on players currently on our football team" (as Bill would say) in all other threads.

Personally, I'll definitely be keeping tabs on them... I won't be following closely, and I doubt I'll watch many games because I just have this suspicion it will feel kind of gross (like watching two of your exes on dates with other guys from afar or something), but will certainly check highlights and major stories. No ill will toward those guys, or any of you guys who might be excited to keep watching Brady & Gronk. Just as long as you also maintain an active Patriots fandom as well

This is where I am but on the pro-Brady side. Aren't we all Pats fans here?

My only difference now, a year and a half later, is that the Gronk attraction isn't as strong as it was then. I felt like he took shots at the Pats after he left.

 

[1960Pats]

I see the 2020 Bucs struggling early and then putting the pieces together down the stretch.

Seattle is the biggest obstacle in the way to a Super Bowl.

I dont blame Brady for leaving and I hope that he gets his 7th ring.

That's pretty much how it went, except for Seattle. The biggest obstacles in the way turned out to be the teams they played with Brees, Rodgers and Mahomes. They beat them all and you got your wish. Congrats.
