Gronk out, Olsen on pace for history

'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.
