basically the same age and gronks better
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 27 August 2019 20:28 (five years ago) link
gronk had been hinting about it for a year and luck kept it quiet
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 27 August 2019 20:29 (five years ago) link
also gronk's condition felt more dire and he seemed more 'used up', so there was not as much surprise.

major difference in timing. one was not long after after winning a title the other was right before the season started.

I think also a QB leaving is much more earthshaking wrt a franchise’s future plans.

speaking of Gronk, this is pretty nuts
https://deadspin.com/rob-gronkowski-says-he-couldnt-sleep-for-weeks-after-a-1837622174
I think the difference is pretty clear, Gronk is one of the best ever & has the rings to show for it, while Luck's career still feels incomplete...he won 4 playoff games, only making it as far as the AFCCG one time. also Gronk had injured so many different parts of his body that I think even some Pats fans were begging him to retire

it is freaky when you look at the film and it was a totally routine and legal hit and it fucked up his quad that badly
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 27 August 2019 20:48 (five years ago) link
luck was totally injury prone too
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 27 August 2019 20:51 (five years ago) link
i saw some stat that over his first three seasons he took 60 more hits than any other qb in that timeframe.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 27 August 2019 20:59 (five years ago) link
Probably didn't help that Luck was basically asking defenders to hit him harder.

They are utterly destroying the Steelers, and we haven't even seen what they are like with Antonio Brown yet. Good lord.

back before his substance abuse probs when he was much younger and skinnier the main thing i remember is that if he got his hands on the ball it was a catch.

So the Antonio Brown acquisition went from cool surprise to utter shitstorm rather quickly
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 12 September 2019 01:41 (five years ago) link
idk depending on what corner of the media you were consuming it was always a shitstorm? like he conspired to get himself released b/c the patriots tampered and he knew he had a soft landing on a contender or whatever ideas were out there. there is definitely an element of local boston media that was extra sanctimonious about this before the civil suit news broke.
this is a depressing statement to make but these types of civil suits are so common nowadays and it's hard to know what to think of them.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 12 September 2019 02:06 (five years ago) link
I'd argue there's an order of magnitude difference in ugliness between NFL backroom dealings and rape accusations.

Their two top WRs are gone, and they are actually playing a good team for once. Not feeling great about this one. Their 4th down brain fart didn't help.
