Anyways hes probably uglier iowa hillybilly. 4 the record, im not one making useless comments bout typo"s like im a grammer cop of the forum. Arent we supposed to b expressing opinions here anyways? Obviously peeps around here have no life and need to grow up. Your not going to agree with everybodys opinion. U dont c me insulting bad ideas i dont agree with. Sorry just not much bothers me more than a rude coward behind a keyboard
Serious question: would you trade Gronk for Fitzgerald?
A couple of seasons ago I would have said no way. But with Gronk continuously missing in the biggest games, and with the fact that his style of play probably won't let him have a career past 28-30 (and that's being generous) I would seriously consider it.
Having said that, it would be amazing to have both Gronk and Fitzgerald on the field at the same time.
Also remember the rumors the Pats were going to send their 1st rounder for Victor Cruz instead of signing Amendola or Welker? They were definitely trying to get an elite WR....
you can't write English correctly, you use hindsight as proof of your claims and you want to tell Kraft to make Belichick do what you want him to....sounds like a perfect time to put in YOUR resume over at Patriot Place...I'm sure we'll all be calling you "Coach Superpats" by the end of April.
It's gonna be a long offseason!!!!
Could be. If she stood sideways she'd definitely qualify as an anonymous source.Mary Paoletti?
I stopped trying to read his posts. It felt like I was reading really long Tweets from a second grader with iPhone he just got and wasn't used to the keyboard yet.
The Patriots likely put out "feelers" all the time for various players that we never hear about. That hardly means that they were even in the early stages of actually striking a deal, and that's IF this is even true. According to Tom Curran, the NEP never reached out to ARZ, and I tend to trust Curran over just about any reporter anymore.
According to Jason and Over the cap.com:
"The contract of Fitzgerald brings up another point that I’ve touched on a few times which is the general view on paying certain players in the QB realm. The average veteran QB earns around $15 million and there are only 6 non-QB’s in the NFL that earn in the ballpark of the starting veteran QB- Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson, Darrelle Revis, Mario Williams, Adrian Peterson, and Julius Peppers. Fitzgerald’s team is just 16-23 since he signed his extension and the combined records of those players is just 69-100 with Peterson’s Vikings being the lone team to make a playoff appearance. These players can be salary drivers for others in the NFL, but if the lack of success continues the League will likely continue the pullbacks in salary to all positions except Quarterback.
It is virtually impossible to pay both a franchise QB AND a franchise WR in the salary cap era, specifically lately in the flat cap era. They just don't produce winners on anything of a consistent basis.
JOKE, til i get home im typing on android with viruses n cant c the screen really or what im typing how it looks. NOT that its any your business dude. Even when Im on my desktop, im kindo of a lazy typer unless im writing something to be graded. But since u seem to have nothing better to do than grade grammer on here,ill b sure on here to use proper flawless grammer from here on. K? Cool?
As for my comments did i lie or say something that isnt clearly what he has done in past. has it ever worked out? Do you see any of last 5 superbowl champs trying his tactics? Hasnt he said in past he loves vets but rookies are a hassle? Has he ever fallen for an overpayed an average player because he liked that player personally? You know the answer to that. Hey dude, hey dude im just expressing my ideas to improve our team. Im just starting with the obvious and the basics.
We're hearing multiple rumors now that Gronkowski is being used as a trade chip for a big name WR. Now, they could be just that, rumors. But if there's some truth to it, I think it shows they have some serious questions about his ongoing health, and/or his commitment to football. Lots of off-season stories about Gronk, as well as question marks surrounding his eagerness to return to the field.
I won't be surprised if this is all nothing and we start week one with Gronk at TE, but it's interesting to consider nonetheless.
Honestly where have you heard these rumors? I haven't seen one anywhere

Just here, admittedly, though one came from a Schefter tweet I believe. Johnson and Foster for Gronk was the floated deal. And then this latest one from Felger. Again, not hard sources by any means, but it bears watching.
Source told me at Media Day that Patriots looking to shop Rob Gronkowski this offseason to Houston for Andre Johnson and Arian Foster.
