Tony Gonzalez was the best pass catching TE. Not the best all around TE. Now we are the ones having the convo her and all you did was give a name and some elses opinion. Im not debating Brandt Im talking to you. Judging by his list he is overly impressed with the recieving stats. Hey I disagree with a lot Brandt has to say as well but I'm sure you'd find a lot of analysts that would agree with his list. Me personally would only have Gonzalez, Winslow and Witten ahead of Gronk. I didn't see Mackey but understand he was great as well.

As far as TEs go. http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap3000000816049/gil-brandt's-14-greatest-nfl-tight-ends-of-all-time Maybe you'll agree with someone who knows a little more about football than me and you. I think Belichick is a better coach to And we are pretty close on the TEs other than Gronk. The only thing that stops Gronk is the game plan BB uses. We saw that in the SB. He might choose to retire but he can still play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a good arm and is extremely intelligent and has mastered a offensive system that Belicheat has used for the past 20 years. Brady is like a great pitcher in baseball that you bring a DH in for because it would take him 20 seconds to get to 1st base if he even ever hit the ball in the first place.

In the end, they're just THE NAME everyone knows. The GNOAT. Soft G. Only 1 goat in my opinion. Gretzky. The rest have 1a/1b comparisons all the time. There is no one who was even in gretzkys league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) I will go on record as saying MJ would win the jumping portion of this competition.

VW82 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Brady shouldn’t be considered shoulder to shoulder with Jordan. Yes he won six rings but how many were with him as one of the best players in the league or even on his own team? By my count it’s three though if you want to say four I wouldn’t argue. Everyone forgets that Brady wasn’t really Tom F’ing Brady until 2007. By that time he already had three rings. He’s more like Tim Duncan.

Punching Bag Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 To be considered "shoulder to shoulder" with Jordan he needs to retire and then come out of retirement and STILL be top dog in cheat pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I always considered Rice, Gretzky, Jordan, and Ruth as the GOAT in the four major sports. Brady didn't dominate his position the way these guys did. I'd rank them: 1.) Gretzky 2.) Ruth 3.) Jordan 4.) Rice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marino, Is my choice, you know from back when they played real football and the QB was just as much fair game as everyone else and you could drill the WR to try and make him drop the ball. Since youre challenging me though how about instead of laughing you put up or shut up. Ive been through this debate a million times. There is a reason the Lombardi doesnt go home with Brady.

So bad they drafted Philip Rivers to replace him. He has been great since, but isn't close to Brady. The Saints went 3 years sub 500 recently. The next closest QB has 4 rings. Brady has 6. And I know it's a team sport, but the entire team has changed 3 times over and they still win. The only lasting piece is Brady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pops your reference to 30 years ago is nice that was like old timers telling me about Nagurski and how he was tougher than the Steel Curtain D-line in the 70s. Sports were best when we were 11, that was 1977-78 for me, worthy champs but not worth mentioning except to people my age we need a nap....?
