No, I understand your point, and Gronkowski is having back to back dominant seasons, proving his consistency. I don't think he would need to be consistent to be considered a premier TE anyways because of his obvious skill level.

Rodgers is having back to back dominant seasons too?

And Aaron Rodgers is not. Neither is Finley. Nor does Gronkowski have the best QB in the league throwing him the ball.

What is your point? That had nothing to do with what I said. I have no clue what Universe is trying to say, not a clue.

 

If you're trying to say Rodgers is having back to back dominant seasons, and may be the best QB in the NFL, I guess I can follow you, but what you quoted made and then responded with makes no sense.

Of course you don't because understanding it would ruin your point.

He's saying that you're using a double standard. You are blowing Gronkowski after a year and a half of success, but are saying that people can't blow Rodgers because his success has been short lived.

That's what I figured, but they're completely different situations.

 

1. I have said multiple times that Rodgers is a great QB.

 

2. I don't think I said Gronkowski was THE best TE in the NFL in this thread. I'm pretty sure I ranked five TE's in no particular order.

 

I'm not saying you have claimed I said either of those, but I'm just addressing the point.

 

 

Now, for the point he is supposedly trying to make, the situations are not comparable. Aaron Rodgers being crowned as the #1 QB in the NFL (I see the argument) who is coming off a great season is much different than comparing a TE coming off a great rookie season and continuing his success in his second season. Crowning Rodgers the #1 QB in the NFL after having a great season last year and having a great one this year is different because his top competition for that crown is a player that just won the NFL MVP last season, is leading the league in yards this season, and is tied for passing TD's this season.

 

For a TE, or many other positional players, I think it's much easier to rank them, and say they are for "real" after such a short period of time. With him addressing Gronkowski (I didn't really bring him up first besides the list), there aren't many TE's that were the clear class of the league last year, or are clearly at the top of the NFL this year. Not many had dominant seasons like him last year, and are continuing them this year.

 

The situations between where Rodgers is being ranked after a short period of time (albeit longer than Gronkowski) is not the same as Gronkowski as Rodgers has supposedly dethroned the reigning NFL MVP, who is one of the all-time great QB's, who is having just as good of a season as Rodgers, and leading him in multiple important categories, and is close in others.

I think it's funny how Finley is somehow considered by everyone to be a top 5 TE, even though the guy hasn't even played 16 games in his career

Same here, I respect the guy but people have him ranked as best TE in the league, it's laughable truly. Gotta see if the guy can at least play a full season.
