Listening to Mike n Mike this morning, they were talking about a reporter who was told by several players that they feel Gronk gets away with a lot of stuff that guys like Cam would be crucified for.. like the parties, the wrasslin...

What say you guys

This is beating a dead horse...I personally love Gronk and goes with out saying Cam is that dude but at this point it is what it is with the media. I've embraced the fact that Cam is who he is and the media can say or do whatever they want but it doesn't affect him as much as it does us as fans. Cam says it best in all his social media pics "#shinethrushade"

There are other high profile NFL that run around like wild animals as well.  Gronk is very charming and affable.  He's like the nice frat guy who moved into your family neighborhood.  And that's just who he is, he embraces it and shows a real joy in life in his moment.

Cam has always been polarizing because he's a mega star, dresses like...well like he does, and he wears his emotions on his sleeve.  

I think the main difference is that Gronk plays the media's game better, and Cam doesn't like to play it.

Completely agree. I've felt like this for a long time now. I didn't want too seem like a whine bag if I posted a ten page rant about it so I never said anything. Imagine if Cam grinded on a femal reporter like Gronk did two years ago.

one more thing: remember when travis Kelce and Michale Bennett went off to reporters after play off losses. They cursed at reporters and blamed losses on the refs etc. all cam did was leave early from a press conference. Who do you think got the most heat?

Gronk is a big dumb white guy that is the life of the party. He does something stupid many will just scoff it aside as boys being boys.

Black QB's that don't conform to the stereotypical Russell Wilson type of nonthreatening black guy that makes white people feel more comfortable to be around will always be under the microscope. Not much has changed in the NFL in that regard, it's just more behind the scenes.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
