This time for an infection around the break:

Have to wonder how long this guy will last.

Just funny that everyone was worried about his back in the draft.

And now, his back is fine, but every other part of him is falling apart.

He's all world when he's on the field. Too bad it seems like he's always injured.

That's a shame. When healthy he's a once in a generation talent. No wonder Ozzie steered clear of him.

Steered clear of him? NE took Gronk one pick before we were due to pick (the ill-fated Sergio Kindle selection). I have a feeling if Gronk was still on the board there Oz would have taken him. All the word was that we were pretty high on Gronk and Hernandez (who Belichick also grabbed one pick before us in the 4th round).

Then I stand corrected. I thought we had a chance to get him, since IIRC we moved out of the first round that draft.

No way to know but there have always been hints that his back took him off the Ravens board

Man that had to hurt. I remember seeing him land on his forearm that was already in a cast against the Texans.

Heard this too.

He won't stop partying long enough to rehab seriously

Back injuries cause so much more trouble throughout the body sometimes. I think Ozzie recognized this when he took Gronkowski off of his board.

Gronk, obviously not a player committed to off season training and taking care of his career. Hate to see guys like this not taking advantage of what they have going for them.Hope he has invested his money well.
