You missed my point. When Kelce lines up close to the line, the team run/pass ratio is about 45/55. Thats means Kelce play almost half his downs blocking. He isn't line up wide out like MS. The defense has to play KC honest. Pre snap, Kelce is very traditional. PM likes to target him in passing downs has nothing to do with tradition. Its just that defense cannot cover him, and PM always find him.
how many kc games do you watch a year?
None, but I got computer and I know google.
We need to ask ourselves, is Gesicki unique, and does he have a hard to duplicate skill set? Does his ability demand targets? The Patriots kept Gronkowski around for all those years because he could block well AND get open and catch. He was a difference-maker and became one of Brady's go-to guys. Gesicki, on the other hand, might be easier to replace based on what we are asking our TE to do. Unless he can become a real difference-maker and force us to keep him, I would guess we will continue to churn the position to keep the cap hit low so we can pay other more critical positions to our scheme more.
Yeah, sorry about that. I had a hard time getting my thoughts together this morning and should have done a better job making my point. No, I am not comparing Gesicki to Gronk. I was just trying to say that Gesicki's skill set might not be unique enough for us to keep him. There are levels of talent. Elite, great, good, or whatever you want to call it. Unless a guy distinguishes himself, teams are always looking to upgrade or find someone who can do the job cheaper.
By that manner if reasoning, no team should ever offer a TE an extension.
