The Kansas City chiefs had the chance to say that two of the best tight ends in the history of the NFL played for them. Tony Gonzalez was with the Chiefs from 1997 to 2008 and Travis Kelce has been a member of the Chiefs since 2013.
People could go back and forth with regard to the best player and, sincerely, there is probably no bad answer here. Gonzalez was incredible during his stay in the League, proven by his enthronement to the temple of fame 2019. Kelce obviously cemented as one of the biggest extremities tight to have ever played the game and will go to the temple of fame once he also calls him a career.
While appearing on Dan Patrick’s showGonzalez was asked by Patrick who, according to him, was the greatest tight end in the history of the chiefs. While trying to get around the question, he finally said he was making his head.
“With all confidence speaking, the way I look at myself … When I walked on this ground, there was no one who could not keep me, I open each time, throw it away. If you put me with Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, come on,” said Gonzalez. “The figures I put in place, they would have been better.”
When Patrick then commented on the lack of coherent quarter-arre that Gonzalez had had during his career, the tight end of the fame of fame replied: “You play with a guy like Tom [Brady] or Peyton [Manning]It changes things. “”
Tony Gonzalez explains why comparing him to Travis Kelce is a bit unfair
It is a great thing to take into account during the debate from which these tight ends is better. Kelce, without playing with Mahomes throughout her career, has had a regular quarter-back game since his arrival in Kansas City in 2013. Alex Smith was his quarter-tree during the first five years of his career, then came Mahomes, who has struck him since.
Gonzalez did not have the chance during his 12 -year career in Kansas City. From his season recruited in 1997 to his last year in a Chiefing Uniform in 2008, Gonzalez had seven-quarters of different shared and four different head coaches. Meanwhile, Kelce had only one head coach, the future temple of Andy Reid renown.
No one can blame Gonzalez to have defended his career here and it is difficult to find the fault of what he says. The longtime chiefs have ended his KC career with 10,940 reception yards and 76 touched and the fact that he made all these names like Brodie beliele, Damon Huard and Tyler Thigpen who throw him quite impressive (although he had talented quarters, including Gannon and Trent Green).
Gonzalez also experienced five memorable years with the Falcons of Atlanta, totaling 4,187 reception yards and 35 affected while playing for this organization. This gave him 15,127 reception yards and 111 affected for his decorated career.
Kelce, meanwhile, recently exceeded Gonzalez for the most receptive yards in the history of the chiefs and he currently sits with 12,198 and 78 affected. Chiefing fans will probably go back and forth during the tight end debate, and once again, there may not be a bad answer.
Gonzalez’s point is definitely the one that should be taken into account, but others will indicate how Kelce has played his entire career in Kansas City. Should the guy who stayed with the Chiefs for his entire career should he get the sign of the head? Or did Gonzalez did despite the trembling teams around him all these years enough to give him the sign of the head?
Sound, fans of the chiefs.
