Dude is a freak...as long as he is healthy he is dominate every game.

Got the hands of a elite WR, faster than 99% of LB's, too big for CB's...

Absolute mismatch no matter who you put on him.

Best TE ever?

No he is not. Yes he has the size, but he plays in an era of ease of all offensive positions

Gronk is not even close to Gonzalez, Sharp, Newsome, Gates...etc...

Let me guess, you are a NYer and a Patriots hater.

Of course he's in the conversation, most lists out there already have him in the top 5, and his career isn't over.

anyone that can remove him from the "best ever" conversation has to have some serious underlying biases. the man never ceases to amaze and he does not have a hole in his game. most times it appears as if "he is a man against boys."

nope Jesse James is but sometimes he needs the ground to help him catch it

He's the best ever and no one is close - he is Jerry fucken Rice - no matter where it is thrown it is caught - 4th and 5 - no problem when Gronk is on the field

I don't like the Patriots but some things are etched in stone - Brady is the best football player of all time and Gronk is the best TE of all time - as good as Gonzalez was he doesnt make that pivotal catch on the ground yesterday - and Gronk is just as strong and any of the other top TEs

definitely has had the most dominance and highest ceiling to any TE. If he can have the longevity of the other greats there will be no debate over him at the #1 spot. I think he has to be in everyone's top 3 right?

Definitely top 3....#1 can be debated.

Watching some of the catches he made yesterday, his hands are definitely just as good as a top tier WR.

He is definitely hard to guard and elite.

The only reason I wouldn't say he is the best ever is because he is too fragile. If he weren't hurt for 50%+ of every season he would be best ever.

He needs a few more years to be the best but he is top 5 on his way to being the best.

He has Brady ranked behind every QB who played in the 80's

Brady is not better than Rodgers talent wise...Just like the NBA players of today. No hand checking and rules made it almost laughable to score. You think James would average what he does if the old rules were in effect. It's not James nor Brady's fault, it's the time line in which they are playing. Brady would not do 1/10th of what he does today if he played in the 80's-90's. Brady is one of the best of his time
