Gronk Retires

[chris98251]

His excellence was in the refs looking the other way when he pushed off to make a lot of his catches.

There were many TE's better then him that played in much tougher circumstances, plus he was injured all the time so his durability may count against him.

Note to a lot of people here, there was football before this millennium.

Gronk was interfered with far more than he ever pushed off. Defenses have been getting away with mugging him for years. I actually find it kind of unbelievable that you actually think the opposite is true.

Case in point.

Well anyone can find a play here and there like that, watching him play he did all the time, I stand by what I said. Fore arms, hand on hip to a DB on a turn, hand on a shoulder pad when he went up for a ball. all the time.

This is just the way Gronk was defended. Defenses mugged him routinely because it hardly ever got called. Meanwhile Gronk got called for OPI all the timr for far less egregious penalties. Defenses played him physical nearly every play, he had to push off a little sometimes, and he got called for it a lot.
