![]() ![]() The Patriots had 10 Gronk games and 8 non-Gronk games this season, which ended in a loss without Gronk to the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game. And the results are staggering in each year. So, for WOWY purposes - that is, With Or Without You - the seasons we have to analyze for Gronkowski and Brady are 2012, 2013, 2016, and 2017. In those three seasons, Gronkowski was a unanimous first-team All-Pro selection each season among major voting publications. Technically there was a second missed game, but it was a week 17 game where Gronkowski sat out to rest and Brady only played a half. There was only one missed game of note there, and it was one where Brady and the entire Patriots team struggled. In 2011, 2014, and 2015, Gronkowski was almost always healthy. So let’s focus on the prime 7 years of Gronk’s career. And 2018 Gronk was BrokenGronk outside of 20, he was pretty much always a dominant force when healthy. In 2010, rookie Gronk was not yet Gronk(TM) he also didn’t miss any games. I am going to not going to spend much time discussing Gronk’s first and last seasons, for two reasons. For defining what is included in my data set, please jump to the end of this post to see how Gronk games and non-Gronk games are defined. As always, thanks to Adam for the inspiration and much of the methodology behind this post. But today I want to build on the great work done by Adam Harstad and analyze Gronk’s career through the lens of how Tom Brady fared - with and without Gronk. It was one of the wildest and most celebrated rides in NFL history. Rob Gronkowski played for the New England Patriots from 2010 to 2018. ![]() Tis better to be with Gronk than without. ![]()
