Gronk out, Olsen on pace for history

Recommended Posts

'Ole Mister Reliable looks like he's going to show it to the NFL with a first in league history by being the first TE to ever go for 1,000 yards in 3 straight seasons. He has 790 yards right now with 5 games to go, that's just 42 yards per game needed to get be the first and only TE to do this. Gronk had a chance to do it this year as well but he's had various injuries all season and now is out for the rest of it with a back injury. Gronk and Greg are certainly the best two tight ends in the league right now. I will admit, when healthy, Gronk is easily the best. Much better blocker in both pass pro and run blocking than Greg, and is a more dominant receiver. But the only thing that's been consistent throughout his career is that he'll be injured at some point. Greg really is the best, most reliable TE in the league right now. One of the few bright spots this season, despite the back breaking drop in Oakland and a slower pace than he started the year on.

Would be a nice win for Panther nation if he gets it. Seems to be trending that way. 

If you're a fan of football you have to like Gronks style. Unfortunately his style doesn't bode well for longetivy in the NFL. Reckless abandon is fun to watch but hell on the body.

Get him a young rookie to mentor & take some of the unecessary load off him and allow him to make the bigger plays.

Hmmmm, who's first to enter the HOF, Smitty or Olsen?

Unless Smitty tries to beat Rice's career receiving record by playing until he's 45, it's gonna be him obviously.

    • Fair enough. I never once said not supporting Tepper makes you a bad fan by the way. I can't stand the guy myself. You on the other hand don't like anything about the team. You can't stand the owner or the coach because his religion doesn't fall in line with how you feel it should so I'm curious why you are even a fan at this point? Hell, you like nothing about the team, why even be a fan these days?  We can go backs and forth about how many games we have been to and measure dicks if you want or but it doesn't matter. I've been to my fair share over the years. Some as a fan and some work related but I bet you have been to more due to my weekends being filled with some work I do at the collegiate level so I probably only average maybe 2-3 games per year tops. You have me beat there im sure. You are probably very correct on us not being the same in anything at all I am quite sure of that. If I'm a "mark" (as you put it) for not liking Tepper and not caring about Canales religion or his political beliefs or letting it have weight on whether or not I like the team then call me a "mark" but you're still a whiny bitch either way.  When you hate everything about leadership from their personalities to their religious beliefs all the way to who they vote for at that point why even be a fan? I can side with you judging by your beliefs that you have made apparent, if you owned and coached the team, I sure as hell would find a new one to support but as you said we are different. Enjoy Norway, it is a beautiful country. Visited last year myself and absolutely loved it.
    • The playing well part, depends on what happens going forward. It could have been a tease that will dig our hole deeper.  In the small picture of one game, probably his best game. Green Bay wasn't as great as people think it was. More like one good quarter. Followed by two games of exactly nothing. 
    • Oh, it was handled horrifically.  Ego got in the way of a plan.  I'm just saying, that he actually probably stumbled into the better outcome/plan.
