Gronk has got height, though. 99 people out of 100 would object to your comparison based on Tebows lack of Gronks height. You got the one guy who would key in on playground fighting.

Says the keyboard tough guy!  You're more ridiculous than the other one who was comparing him to Gronk.  

Truth is that he's looking better than most of us thought he would.  I'm actively rooting for him to be good enough to make the team.  It would be delicious to see all the haters in this thread lose their collective minds!

He is just like Gronk in body style. I didn't say he had the same skills or the results will be the same. They both put the work in the gym in and are muscular for their position.

Tebow is 4 inches shorter and about 40 pounds lighter than Gronk...

Nah it's about 10 or 15 pounds. Tebow is built heavier, but only 6-3.

Gronk's height means he has a larger catch radius. This is amplified as Tebow appears to be a body catcher.

Wait and see right now they are playing in shorts. So I guess all we can say is it is possible he is good enough for the Ladies Lingerie League. One way or another...everything will work out. You guys crack me up at times...LOL

Gronk probably has a wingspan about a foot wider than Tebow's as well.

What? A chart clearly showing that Tebow sucks at every measurable that matters for a TE? While in his prime.

Today? Take half of those spidercharts away.

Tebow's chart is percentiles vs. QBs
Gronks's chart is percentiles vs. TEs

Gronk has a 7 foot wingspan.  Tebow has alligator arms - that's why he needs to catch the ball against his body.

Tebow was a slimmed down 236 at the combine. He's walking around at 255 at this point.

He's also much slower straight line speed.

I have never understood it myself. If Minshew goes to another team I'm not signing up on their board. I love the guy and want him to succeed but me going to another team message board isn't going to make that happen and I waste spend enough time here.

Good grief, I never said he was Gronk. They are both big, muscular TEs. Gronk is faster, more agile, and better hands (as far as we know) than Tebow. Tebow has a similar body type though, his reach is smaller and he is shorter. He will never be that good but if he is consistent in blocking and catches the ball, he could be one of the best TEs the Jags have had. The bar is pretty low, the leader now couldn't catch the ball without double tapping it. The current TEs can't stay on the field because they always get hurt. Tebow will at least put it all on the field if he gets a shot.

Wait until we see him in the preseason to laugh at him missing blocks, dropping passes, running the wrong route, etc. It will give you a reason to watch the games after TL leaves the game.

My man!

I’m ok with it as long as they remain a fan when said player leaves.

I’m sure there are some people who were Clemson fans and are now Jags fans. Hopefully they remain that way for life.
