^^I was thinking after I read that question that Gronk would probably have less catches but for more yards. He’s more of a downfield threat, and gets more YAC.
Witten’s more of a run/pass blocker, and when he’s not doing that, he’s catching the 3-5 yard checkdown or seam route. Other than 3rd downs and two minute drills, you’ll rarely see him deep downfield or outside the numbers.
^ and the Great One extends his lead by adding 2 more catches, one for a TD (from Dez Bryant, of all people).
Buddy after reading your other topic, you can just have this one. You need a win or two under your belt. Suddenly this performance and topics created to harass others for not passing an exam make a lot more sense.
The final word on the 2016 season:
Witten - 16 games. 69 receptions for 673 yards and 3 TD’s.
Gronk - active for 8 games, but only really played in 6. 25 catches for 540 yard and 3 TD’s.
And this about sums up their careers. Witten - almost 1,100 catches for almost 12,000 yards. Played in 223 out of 224 games.
Gronk - When he’s on the field, it’s scary how ridiculously good he is. But you don’t have to worry too much, because there’s a good chance he won’t be out there.
can this thread die
It will should die after this season when Witten retires.
Let’s say Witten retires and Gronk can’t come back. Then can we continue this thread based on their post-NFL careers?
Actually–I just remembered that Witten’s season isn’t yet done. He is at least going to play in one playoff game.
This thread has to continue for at least two more weeks!!!
Meh, turns out Belichick knows best, best ability is ability. It’s portfolio management.
Q: What do Gronk, Witten, and Greenman all have in common?
A: None of them made any kind of difference at all in Super Bowl LI.
In other news, Jason Witten announced that he is coming back next year for his 14th season. That means we can play the “is the beat up old man better than the supposed GOAT?” again next year!!!
I really liked Gronk’s caveman commercial during the Super Bowl.
It’s a team sport Greenie, again: it’s portfolio management. That’s why the most dominant team has the most dominant players.
I might have to get Shane Stant’s number from Jeff Gillooly and see if he can make a trip to Dallas so we don’t have to be subjected to this thread for another season.
anyone going on gronks business trip cruise?
…
God help us all
Thanks for the link. Saves me the trouble of looking for it.
That means that this thread will live on until at least the year 2021!!! May the odds be ever in my favor.
Wow. And people say Romo and Witten are gay together.
Bro. NSFW.
It’s that time of year again.
We can just shorten this by giving the stats. Receptions/Yards/TD’s
Gronk: 2-34-0. 4.3 fantasy points.
Witten: 7-59-1. 15.4 points.
Just as an aside - I thought that the Giants D would be better than Green Bay’s, so I started Jimmy Graham instead. I should have known better. *facepalm*
