When you're all done jerking off with joy, remember that the Patriots beat the Falcons without Gronkowski that year. And against the Seahawks Gronk did finish second to Edelman's 109 yards with 68, but he was also only 4 yards better than Shane "who?" Vereen's 64. Oh, yeah, and they also won 3 SBs ten years earlier when Gronk was on the playground. Only two people matter, Belichick and Brady. And honestly I think Belichick matters more, given we went 11-5 with your favorite ex-Chiefs QB at the helm.
And at least Gronk retired enough for them to snag a TE in the draft. With a 1, two 2s, and three 3s, the Pats are still positioned to fill some holes (TE, pass rusher, developmental QB).
So, yeah, **** off.
