Although I think he has an argument for the best player in the game, that's not the point of this thread.

I believe Gronk might be the perfect football player. On the field he is an absolute monster and by all accounts a great teammate. Off the field he basically acts like a teenager, but he appears to stay clean of any legal troubles. He seems genuinely excited in any interview I've seen or heard, and I'm not sure if he's a genius or a high-functioning ignoramus.

Plus there is this:



And this Gronk reading erotic fan fiction.

He's even better when nobody tries to cover him.

He's probably in the top three, along with Watt and Rodgers.

Gronk is really good, but I don't know what separates him from others. Like, why can't other players be as good as he is?

He's not particularly fast. He's big, but there are a lot of big and athletic guys. He can catch a football... but that's not particularly difficult.

I think Tom Brady makes Gronk and Gronk immensely helps Tom Brady.

Gronk singlehandedly screwed my fantasy team this week.

I think you'd have to go with Aaron Rogers.

League and Super Bowl MVP
Durable (except in 2013 when he broke his collar bone)
Arguably the best player at the most important position in football

And this (if true)

quote:

This is the 10th season Mike McCarthy has coached the Packers, and the 10th season Aaron Rodgers has played for Mike McCarthy. In all that time, from January 2006 to this weekend, Rodgers has never been fined by the team. He has never been late to a meeting, a practice, a game, an off-season workout. He has never missed any of those scheduled events without permission. He has never violated curfew either in training camp or the night before any of the 197 preseason, regular-season or postseason games since McCarthy took over. He has never mouthed off to anyone, or violated any team rule to the extent that he had to be fined.

I would say Tom Brady is the ideal football player. 4 Super Bowl wins.

Foles and Gronk are the only Wildcats I'll ever cheer for as a Sun Devil. Gronk was just a pure beast and he seems like a great guy to be around. Foles almost committed to ASU but Erickson screwed that up. Scoobee looks like another good guy.

Its far easier to list what this dude cant do! Guard/center on offense and cb/safety on defense. Pretty aure he can play everywhere on ST's. Thats maybe 5 out of 33 spots on the field that we know he'd stink it up.

Gronk is the greatest TE to every play in the NFL. On top of that, he's an awesome guy. I don't know if he's the most "ideal football player," which sounds objective and impossible to really answer, but he's a rare athlete for sure.

Gronks a beast but ideal athlete has to be a black guy unless we're talking qb or kicker

She's really attractive for a porn star. Good on Gronk. He seems like a cool cat to hang with and he really loves the game and appreciates all that's going on.

Also he's extremely difficult to tackle. Didn't he almost take a kickoff to the house one time?
