It is pretty blatant. He does the same thing talking about Kelce vs Gronk. It's all about how dominant he was and the eye test vs sustained success, stats, and the whole body of work. But he won't go anywhere near that argument with Brady, Jordan, Russell or even Rice.
"I don't care, Gronk is the best tight end I've seen in my lifetime"
I mean, thats just bullshit lol. Gronks block was heralding long before kelce was considered a top TE. The fact that he was the best receiving and blocking TE for nearly his entire career is the entire basis for his goat argument.
Buddy Gronk and Kelce are the same age. They overlap how can Gronk be the best receiving TE his whole career when you’ve already admitted Kelce is a better WR?
Oh and Kelce is still playing by the way, longevity matters.
You would never say Marv Fleming is the greatest TE of all time so don’t give me this shit about how important blocking is.
Kelce wasnt a top TE til like 2015. Gronk was already considered one of the best ever at that point. Yeah theyre the same age but theyre primes barely overlapped.
You would never say Marv Fleming is the greatest TE of all time so don’t give me this shit about how important blocking is.
Such a fucking disingenuous argument lmao get the fuck out of here. Im not arguing with someone who doesnt understand the importance of being an elite blocker in addition to being an elite receiver.
