Don't see Gronk beating Grahams recieving stats this year, imho.
All the reports coming out of camp is that Graham's gotten a hell of a lot better. Plus Gronk has to fight with Hernandez for catches.

Plus Gronk has to fight with Hernandez for catches. hernandez's 79 catches didn't affect Gronk at all last year. All I'm going to say is this. Anyone knocking on Gronk cuz of Hernandez look at last year Anyone saying Graham has a higher upside, I ask what's a higher upside than 18 TDs? Anyone knocking on Graham cause of the Bounty Gate, guess what? Payton isn't the QB, Brees is and he's signed and looking good (also not letting Graham get off easy)

i think they will both snare 95 catches for 1250 yds and 15 TDs. Exactly the same...you heard it here first!

I think hernandez will have a more productive season than gronk. Hernandez is more versatile, and teams are gonna focus on gronk, welker, and lloyd. That leaves hernandez with the lesser coverage players of the other teams. Gronk will have more touchdowns than any other tight end in the league, but hernandez will have the most yards and receptions for a patriots tight end

probably gonna be about even...in PPR probably graham. Even though I think Gronk is better..lloyd, welker, and hernandez all taking away a lot of receptions from him.

Last year Gronk had alot of talent around him then too and still went off. I'm going to go with Gronk to be the better producer this year for a few reasons. The first and most out standing is the fact that every WR and TE on the field for the Patriots deserve the highest level of coverage possible. They cant afford to relax lets say on Hernandez or Branch/Lloyd/Gaffney because Brady will strike them there. This keeps D's "honest" and will give Gronk the best coverage possible. Plus he is a big body receiver who isnt afraid of contact and i think he has became Brady's #1 target.
I just dont see the Saints having the same situtation as the Patriots in this regard, I know Colston Moore and Henderson are good, just i think the other teams would be able to play more zone coverage where with the Patriots i feel they have to play more man, which opens up Gronk over Graham for bigger production this year.

I think Graham is slightly better, but you can't go wrong with either one...

You guys do know that Branch had over 700 yards last year as essientaly the WR2... If anything Lloyd will hurt Branch's #s
