Is Rob Gronkowski a first ballot Hall of Famer?


Recommended Posts

I think he is for a few reasons:

-- He's had substantial and impressive playoff stats, so that's added into the consideration

-- He's played for 9 years, dominant in all of them, while Terrell Davis only 7, dominant for only 4

-- Crazy as it is, Brady would be the only other Pats offensive player inducted throughout the dynasty (Moss doesn't really count for Pats).  Every other "dynasty" team had multiple inductees

 

First ballot

if there's no doubt he should be in the Hall, why wait 3 or 4 years?

 

 

 

Because only a certain number get in each year

 

It just means that voters would pick other worthy members who just missed out the year before.

 

 

Happens ALL the time.

Should be a no-brainer IMO.  Best TE ever to play.  Hope Rams don't put Nickel-Roby on him.

I hope they put Roby on him...and he gets away with a hit like he did in the Saints game...

 

Oh wait...patriots never have calls like that go against them.

Now that Gronk's career is seemingly coming to an end, there are some that seem to think he's a first ballot Hall of Famer. Here are his numbers:

There is NO WAY numbers like that equal a first ballot Hall of Famer. NO WAY, especially in this TE pass-happy NFL.

This TE pass happy league that the Patriots helped shaped because of Gronk. No question first ballot.

Absolute no-brainer. Once again as always, don't look at the stats, they are for losers. Look at what he did on the field and most especially look what he did in big games and big moments. That being said, ***** Gronk.

 

His stats better be okay from what I saw happen

Ever see Tony Gonzalez or Shannon Sharpe play?

 

 

 

Youngsters forget the game was played for a long time before they started watching in 2008.....

First ballot, without question. You know he has 7 fewer TDs than Andre Reed in half the games. And more yards per reception. Amazing the lengths people will go to try, and fail miserably, to undercut anything related to the Pats. This guy, when he's been healthy, has been the most dominate TE in his time in the league, bar none. He stretches the field, runs the middle, dominates the red zone. Just another post blinded by Patriot hate and trying miserably to diminish anyone involved. Guy singlehandedly ate the Bills up and now you're feelings are hurt.

Absolutely a first ballot HoFer. Those numbers are fantastic and don’t take into account that he has also been the best run blocking TE in the game over that stretch too.

 

 

 

He changed the way the game is played

Oh yes. On Pittsburgh television he is not a known cheater. Personally speaking, the Buffalo native part offsets the punk move on Tre White.

***** no. He should not be welcome anywhere in Buffalo. That was a punk move, the worst I've ever seen in a football game. ***** him.

Who’s mental deficiency caused us to draft Torell Troup 1 pick before Gronk?  Was it Brandon or Nix?  Troup was out of football two years later.

 

i wanted Gronk to be a Bill so bad.  A polish kid, from Buffalo and Notre Dame?  He’d  have been loved here.

 

That said, of course he’s an automatic for the HOF.
