I am talking effectiveness. I couldn't care less about fantasy or accolades. I'm looking for examples where a player took a year off and was effective, meaning he helped the team at least respectably, in his return. Lynch was just the most recent player who left at a high level and tried to come back after a year away.Can't compare Lynch to Gronk IMO. Gronk is a 1st ballot HOF and lynch is massively overrated. If you expect fantasy numbers, that's one thing.. he will draw double teams on 3rd downs and should make some big play when it matters. On paper anyway. It's a damn shame we couldn't find a way to bring Brady back and somehow Gronk as well. The double team alone opens things up enough with the guys NE has to be 12-4 again.
