'Ole Mister Reliable looks like he's going to show it to the NFL with a first in league history by being the first TE to ever go for 1,000 yards in 3 straight seasons. He has 790 yards right now with 5 games to go, that's just 42 yards per game needed to get be the first and only TE to do this. Gronk had a chance to do it this year as well but he's had various injuries all season and now is out for the rest of it with a back injury. Gronk and Greg are certainly the best two tight ends in the league right now. I will admit, when healthy, Gronk is easily the best. Much better blocker in both pass pro and run blocking than Greg, and is a more dominant receiver. But the only thing that's been consistent throughout his career is that he'll be injured at some point. Greg really is the best, most reliable TE in the league right now. One of the few bright spots this season, despite the back breaking drop in Oakland and a slower pace than he started the year on.

Would be a nice win for Panther nation if he gets it. Seems to be trending that way. 

If you're a fan of football you have to like Gronks style. Unfortunately his style doesn't bode well for longetivy in the NFL. Reckless abandon is fun to watch but hell on the body.

Get him a young rookie to mentor & take some of the unecessary load off him and allow him to make the bigger plays.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
