What kind of numbers would Kelce have put up with Brady in that offense? I think he would have put up better numbers because he could stay healthy. What kind of numbers would Gronk have put up with Alex Smith/Mahomes throwing him the ball, with Jamaal Charles at RB and then Hill at WR? I don't think he would have matched Kelce's numbers. I will take Kelce over Gronk. Every day. But, I don't think either of them are in the conversation with TG. Tony may not have been as fast as Kelce, or as big as Gronk, but remember that until this year the only player in NFL history with more career catches than TG was Jerry Rice, who may just be the best player in the history of the NFL. With the exception of his 2nd season, TG caught almost every ball that was in his general vicinity. And it didn't matter if he was covered by a LB, CB, Safety, or two or three guys, he was coming down with the ball. Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk |

I’m definitely biased. Kelce is the better player and he is able to stay healthy. Gronk was pretty good I will admit.

This. Peak Gronk is better than peak Kelce, mainly because of Kelce's concentration lapses.

Kelce's very good in his own right, but Gronk was bigger, stronger, a better blocker, had better hands and, honestly, I'd bet their straight line speed was actually pretty similar. Kelce was quicker and ran better routes. Where Kelce closes the gap is being healthy. They say the best ability is availability and Gronk just was not available too frequently. If I'm redrafting the two for their career, I probably go Kelce. If I need one of the two win just a single game, I go Gronk. |

There’s nothing random about me. There’s also no comparison between the two of them. Check back with us on this question in five more years and maybe you’ll have a reason to actually have that conversation.
