Re: Pitta/Dickson vs. Gronk/Hernandez
Did Brady's stats balloon when throwing to Gronk because he throws deep much more than Smith/Kaepernick? I don't know the numbers, but Alex's completion % would be relatively constant no matter who the target is b/c he didn't throw many deep balls which have a crazy low completion %. Brady would chuck it deep at low % more often. That could explain the % going up when targeting Gronk. Lots of variables other than Gronk being the football messiah.
Can't help the club from the cold tub........

Re: Pitta/Dickson vs. Gronk/Hernandez
I am too young to have ever watched Mackey in his glory days, but I am aware of how good of a player he was. At that point of time, the TE just wasn't the receiving entity that it is today.
Mackey could probably teach every TE in the league right now a thing or two about blocking though.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Pitta/Dickson vs. Gronk/Hernandez
Well I'd say any TE that gets on the field is better than Hernandez now because it's hard to get out of jail to play.

Re: Pitta/Dickson vs. Gronk/Hernandez
For Hernandez's pick, they got 2 and 1/2 years of injury free service, and a whole bunch of cap mess and embarrassment. And yet, it was still a much better than anything we did that year except for Pitta.
