Rob Gronkowski is known for many things. The tight end is known for his excellence on the field and his off-the-field analyzing skills. Furthermore, the Super Bowl champion has no qualms about sharing his personal thoughts about different teams in the league. It does not go too far to say that a champion as distinguished as Gronk has earned the right to comment on the happenings of the league. This time he has taken Dallas Cowboys on his radar.

Additionally, the tight end’s sights are on the Dallas Cowboys as the playoffs inch closer. In a recent interview with USA Today Sports, Gronk spoke about the Cowboys’ chances in the playoffs. Gronk had some strong words for the Jerry Jones-led Cowboys.

While speaking to USA Today, Gronk spoke about the fact in his eyes, the Dallas Cowboys have a history of being pretenders in the playoffs. His exact words were, “It’s just that history states that they’re pretenders. So over the last you know, over the last couple of years, they’ve been making it to the playoffs and stuff but boom they’re out right away, but this year could be different.” He indicated that the Cowboys have had a poor playoff record in the past. Furthermore, the embarrassing loss against the Jaguars earlier this week made Gronk’s point a lot more valid.

The truth behind Gronk’s words

While it might be a hard pill to swallow, the Dallas Cowboys have not been on top of their game lately. Gronk’s words might not be wrapped in pretty paper, but he was speaking the truth. The Cowboys recently lost an easy one against the Jacksonville Jaguars. For a team as big as the Cowboys, losing a game against a team like the Jaguars is not a very moralizing statement for the fans. They lost the game in overtime with an interception winning the Jaguars the game. However, when Gronk mentioned the possibility of the Cowboys being pretenders seemed to anger the fans.

The words by Gronk were certainly hurtful for the fans but did have a facet of truth in them. Admittedly, the tight end did admit that this year could be different. The question is will Gronk be proven wrong or his analysis, while brutal, will stand accurate?
