Tony Gonzalez appreciation thread
It's more than likely the end of the road for arguable the best TE ever.

Quote:

“I’ve had a great ride. It’s been awesome. I have no regrets,” Gonzalez said, via Jay Adams of the team’s website.

He has the strongest hands of any player in the league, he can catch very tough balls while getting his arms whacked all the time.

Can't believe the stats he managed on some bad KC teams

The thing I appreciated most was him him leaving the AFC West. Dude used to humiliate us.

He's the best. It was a nightmare playing him, even when the Raiders were good a long, long time ago. Gonzo was always a player to fear.

greatest TE of all time. What's crazy is that he could definitely play a few more years.

I would have loved to see him run out on that field during a SB, but he still had a hell of a career. Arguably the best Chief ever, and easily the best TE ever. Had a blast watching him play.

I will miss him a lot more then I'm gonna miss Ray. Tony has always been a class act and I'm very blessed to have been able to watch the greatest TE of all time.

I think he's probably the best TE to ever play the game. I know Mackey was widely known as the guy but I think Gonzo has surpassed him. He's definitely surpassed Kellen Winslow Sr.

I really wanted to see him get a ring but I couldn't find it in myself to root for the Falcons as much as I respected Tony. He had a hell of a game to end his career and I'm glad that he got a playoff victory to his name. He could play 2 or 3 more years, too...

I hope he gets another year. I'm not ready for him to be out of the league yet.

It was hard to watch him in the post game presser. He was about to breakdown by the sound of his voice. Great career. Unfortunately he was just in our way.

Such a class act too. Tony Gonzalez is the type of player you want your kids to look up to.
I really wish he won a ring.

absolutely this.
and lost in all his great recieving stats are his blocking skills. dude was on the field blocking for some REALLY big rushing years by Priest and LJ. without a doubt in my mind, THE.BEST.TE.EVER.

I don't know if it'll happen but would love to see him sign a 1 day deal and retire a Chief.

I'd love it, but he has spoken highly of this Falcons team and their players/coaches/etc.. and they got a lot closer to a ring than the Chiefs ever did.
I would love it though.

Who said anything about it being malicious? It was just an unnecessary thing to say.

Oh alright. We'll leave it to you to determine civilized conduct around these parts.
