One of our best NFL TE announces his retirement minutes ago.




Was he our best NFL tight end?

Future GM?

Guy is a man amongst men.

Great Guy....

 

[TriStarCane]

Think he should have a chance at the Hall? Maybe not first ballot but strong career

3x Pro Bowler
4th most receptions by TE
5th most yards by TE
8th most TD by TE
3rd leg

Great Guy....

He really represented the University with class and distinction

 

[Rellyrell]

Really had wish he gotten a ring b4 hanging em up. Always got love for Greg w/ the 3rd leg. My Bears drafted him & almost f’d his career off. Glad he went to Carolina & was recognized as one of the best TEs among his contemporaries. Seattle **** the bed this yr, but the guy was all class & talent.

Looking forward to hearing him on Fox.

One of the best ever!!

It’s already hard as is for TEs; don’t think he’ll make it. Some injuries derailed some promising seasons, and as previously posted, Chicago wasted him for his first 3 yrs. Hall of Fame talent, but don’t think he’ll be there; more like hall of very good

Interesting question, is he an NFL Hall of Famer?

I agree. I call guys like that “Ring of Honor” good. I don’t think he gets in either, but I think he would have had better numbers if not for the Bears and those injuries.

Drop my drawers and let her see my third leg. **** of a career Greg.

Walter Payton man of year too. What a guy

Merged two threads on this.

Hall of Famer imo,

Would have been much more productive if he weren't always tripping over that third leg.

 

[CashMoneyCane]

As stated already, it's very difficult for TE's to make the Hall. No ring doesn't help. Winning Man of the Year does. But I think the argument for him is that he ushered in an era of pass-catching TE's the likes of which the league had never seen to the extent it exists today. Sure, he's not Tony Gonzalez, but given the all-time numbers and what's happening with the position anymore, I'd say he's got a 50/50 shot.

 

[Baba Yaga]

Congrats on a great career G-Reg. Never forget he told the Domers to choke on his 3rd leg before transferring to Miami. True Cane.

Being on fox broadcast team will absolutely factor in as well. He will get the benefit of the doubt and get in IMO.
