quote:I understand it completely and am in agreement that Graham should be within the list somewhere. What I am not following is is how JG had a better season "period." Is it because he caught thirty more balls and 200 more yards? Gronkowski had more 100 yard games, more multi touchdown games, more touchdowns all together, averaged more yards per reception and caught more of his targets. Are those stats insignificant?
What do you people not get about these top 100 lists being just for that season.
It's not a per game thing or a career thing. What did they do last season? Graham had the better season. Period.
Hoodoo, it is because Gronk has been the best tight end in the league since entering it.
And Thug I am still awaiting the answer to what is production?

He had a better season because he played more of it and put up more stats(albeit 2 less tds). Had Gronk stayed healthy he likely would have had a better season than Jimmy. But then we can say had Graham not had an injured wrist he would have put up better stats.
You can't go with what ifs. Fact is Graham produced the better season last year. Not per game averages. Not career. Y'all keep trying to turn this into something it's not.
And fyi Gronk did not have a stellar first season (above average yes) and only had one amazing season. He's only been around 3 years (same as Graham).
Let's not annoint someone best ever before they actually have a long career. Many others have shone brightly for a couple of seasons before busting out or coming back down to earth, and the rash of recent surgeries won't help.
Not saying it's likely he'll fall off but Gates had 2 amazing seasons and then started to lose a step. It can happen to Graham too.
That brings me back to what I first said. Gonzalez is the only recent TE to have a consistently stellar career. It sucks that he plays for those other bastards.
