why is Gronk so special though? I do not think anyone is arguing that he is not...and i believe the reason he is is because the guy attacks (and is allowed to attack, and has routes made for him that attack) the 15-30 yd range
he is special because as good as welker is in the 4-10yd range, thats how good Gronk is in the 15-30 yd range, namely unstoppable
if Gronk instead attacked the 4-10yd range, we would be having the same prob in the passing game as we did against Balt, the fact that we have an amazing intermediate weapon changes this
however you do not need to have only the best option in the league in the 15-30 yd range in order to attack that space, you can attack it w/ lesser players, the success will be lower, but you must still attack that portion on the field, and not simply ignore it and live off of the 10yds after the line of scrimmage
