BuffaloRebound Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 And win one with the hometown team. Yes, he’s on his last legs but he’s still a huge upgrade over any TE on our roster. I think he’d love to play with Josh. They both play the game with a lot of joy and are both big athletic freaks. I think it’s time for possibly the best homegrown talent WNY has ever produced to come back home and win a title. From a brand perspective, I think it’d make Gronk even a bigger name than he already is. The dude is Buffalo. So is Josh. 1 17 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 The only reason Gronk came back is to play with Tom in Florida. He'll never wear a Bills uni and I'm good with that. 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I mentioned this in my FA thread a few weeks ago as a target on my list. Gronk at this stage is still 2x better than anyone we have ever had play TE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 A bunch of you are pissed that he went to Tampa and was with the dark empire for so long but what about the GM that let him slip by the Bills in the draft one would think that a player from the area while in college would be well known to the Bills staff you would think . There have been more than 1 player that if not passed on by the Bills that could have made contributions to the team in a good way Gronk being 1, Mac being literally right in their back yard, then there's Stark and if you dig we could find a few more i'm sure but none of these were considered here and Bills fans are pissed at them for having a really good career elsewhere but not pissed at the FO that let them get by the Bills ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metzelaars finished his 16 NFL seasons with 383 receptions for 3,686 yards and 29 touchdowns in 235 games.

REC Gronk 1.47 times better YDS Gronk 2.3 times better TD'sGronk 2.96 times better TOTAL AVG. 2.24 TIMES BETTER And Gronk is still going. And Gronk can block. So you can call blocking a wash. My original post said Gronk was 2 times better than anyone we ever had. So corrected he is 2.24 times better. https://athlonsports.com/nfl/25-greatest-tight-ends-nfl-history Gronk at #3 all time. Metz wouldn't make top 100. Edit: I guess @BobChandlersHands doesn't like math. We could do common core, but then Gronk might be 10x better.

And just like Brady wanted the challenge of proving he could do it without Belichik, perhaps Gronk would like to prove the same without Brady.

It would be grand, but I don't see the NFL having the kickoff game as an interconference match-up. Looking at Tampa Bay's schedule next year, look for it to be Dallas, unless Drew Brees decides not to retire, then it'll be New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dak Prescott comes back, you can almost guarantee they will get the call for this game. Yes, the Bills would be the better game, but again, I don't see an AFC Vs. NFC match-up as the kickoff game.

He threaten to retire if traded away without being able to play w Brady. This, he has openly said he won't play with any other QB other than Brady. He will either retire (again) all together or sign a deal in TB. Also, considering the current trajectory of WR and Kittle/Kelce contracts, a TE light Gronk with an AAV of $9M seems like a steal. The guys cap hit this year was less than Brown, Hughes, and Addison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Bills TE might be the worst position group in NFL history. Not a single ProBowl for any TE in Bills history. That is really quite an impressive run of at best average to sometime horrible play. And it's not as if they have not tried. Tony Hunter drafted before Kelly. How many other TEs have been drafted in the first three rounds? Trade for Clay was a big investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
