A SB MVP or even another SB win with Kelce having some important catches would help him more than another 1000 yard season in what is now a 17 game season. I can still see Kelce wanting that 1000 yard season even if it just helps his standing on the margin. He has already punched his ticket to the HOF.
Truth of the matter is unless Kelce has around 3 more great years including a SB MVP, there is not going to be a clear consensus for GOAT TE.
Gronk 3-4 SB rings. He missed the SB won year NE won it but still played many regular season games that year. 20 TD's one year in his first 17 games. Doesn't have the career pass catching stats but a better blocker than pretty much every TE who has more yards/catches them him.
Chiefs fans know about Tony Gonzalez and should know about Shannon Sharpe and Antonio Gates as well.
I think it is fair to say if Tony Gonzalez played on this version of the Chiefs or Brady's Patriots or some other great team, he would have had much more post season success, but his regular season longevity may take a hit since the deeper you go in the post season, it often becomes harder hitting.
