Mike Gesicki, What’s The Plan?

Looks like your one of our lemmings. I recommend a jolt of optimism.

If you can't find something in a year of change with a new coaching staff, a change in management and a lot of draft picks then you are missing out on some of the joys of being an NFL fan. Remember, you picked the team; the team didn't pick you. If all you can do is bring negativity, pick a team that isn't going somewhere. Anybody can pick a winner after they win a Superbowl. Real fans pick winners before they are winners.

Lemmings don't want winners...what fun can they have if there is nothing to complain about. May I recommend the Browns, Oakland or San Francisco if you want teams to complain about. Stay with the Dolphins and your dream of a perpetual loser is going to get smashed.

I'm sorry you wasted so many words on a misinterpreted post. Allow me to clarify.

I think it's absolutely preposterous for these people to trash Gesicki after one year, the name calling and childish comparisons are just laughable from supposed adults. You can check my limited posting history for verification of that.

You are correct. I did misinterpret your post. Unfortunately for me it was easy enough to do. I appreciate your patience and your response.

The good news is your not a lemming.

The bad news is there are still a lot of them out there.

The best news is that the season is just beginning and I think we are going to see some unanticipated good football.
 
there you guys go again, you want to buy the pizza when you can make it yourself, Geseki will be fine, they need to develop him into what they need for him to be, i don't like plenty of free agents they stunt the growth of the younger players and the team will be drafting that position every year.
 
I’m taking anything that happened last year with a grain of salt. There were plenty of players who were asked to do things that they weren’t skilled at doing. Mike Geisicki was one of those players. Let’s see if the new staff can use him properly.
I'm with you on that. Not only Gesicki, but any other 2nd or 3rd year player.
 
This team isn't going to be good for awhile, might as well see his contract through. I'm sure another tight end will make it to the NFL in a few years so we might have a shot at another one.
 
The new head coach has been around Gronk for the past decade.

Gesicki is the anti-gronk, as far as making big plays, and especially as far as blocking.

Would love to see him make huge strides in his 2nd year,

but honestly would love much MORE to have them find the next gronk in a 3rd day draft pick.

A player that makes a difference in at least ONE aspect of TE play. ;)

Anti-Gronk eh? Let's look at a few data points.

………………………………….Rob Gronkowski.....Mike Gesicki…..Jimmy Graham
Bench Press...……………………….23...….....…...….22……………………(Less than 19)
40 Time...…………………………….NA.(~4.6)..………..4.54*...……………...4.56
Vertical Jump...…………………….NA.(~35)..……….41.5*...……………...38.5
Broad Jump...……………………...NA..………………..10.9*…………………10.0
Three Cone...……………………….NA...……………..…6.76*………………....6.9
Short Shuttle...…………………….NA...………………..4.10*………………….NA
Long Shuttle...……………………..NA...………………11.33*………………..11.76

Note: * represents a category where Mike Gesicki was the best TE in his draft class.

We know that Gronk is a physical freak. And he has size. Gronk is about 6 foot 6.5 inches tall, and Gesicki is 6 foot 5.5 inches tall, so yes, Gronk has 1 inch in height. And yes, Gronk benched 1 more rep than Gesicki. But to call him the anti-Gronk is simply not accurate. They are comparable physically, with Gronk being the more powerful and slightly bigger guy but with Gesicki being faster, more explosive, and better jumper. The biggest play difference is that Gronkowsi is an exceptional blocker in the run game and decent in the passing game, and Gesicki is not good in either aspect of blocking yet, and may never be. But as a receiver … yeah, you're incorrect to call Gesicki the anti-Gronk.

The kid had a decent rookie season … but you were expecting instant-HoF'er … sorry to surprise you, but almost no TE's are instant-HoF'ers as rookies … least of all ones on teams with epically bad offenses like the 2019 Miami Dolphins.

Give the kid a chance … he's going to become a good NFL TE.
