Rob Gronkowski Gets Brutally Honest on Tom Brady-Bill Belichick Debate

The former New England Patriots tight end, Rob Gronkowski, appeared in a segment with Mackenzie Salmon on Sports Seriously. The legendary TE talked about the tough time his former teammate and BFF, Tampa Tom, is facing this season. Salmon then asked an interesting question about Brady and Belichick to the four-time Super Bowl-winning champ. Finally, Gronk revealed what is going on with the two individuals.

Rob Gronkowski retired in 2022 for the second time. He came out of his retirement to help his buddy, TB12, win a Super Bowl ring with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But like the wind, he swiftly went back to chilling. However, many noticed that without the future HOF-er, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are falling apart. They are 6-7 although rank first in the NFC South division.

Similarly, the 2022-2023 season has been no kinder to the Bill Belichick-led New England Patriots. They are 7-6 and not playing up to their maximum potential. Therefore, seeing Brady and Belichick’s struggle, the host asked if Gronk was the glue that held the star QB and the talented coach together.

This is what the former Number 87 said: “There’s so many parts that, you know, contribute to a successful football team, but let’s just hype it up. I mean, I definitely was the glue. Let’s just put it that way. I don’t even get enough credit, but I don’t even want all the credit. I like being that low-key guy and just, you know, being that glue.” Surely, this will start a discourse among fans about the impact the 5x Pro Bowler had on Tampa Tom and Belichick.  

Rob Gronkowski thinks Brady should make a switch in his career

The former teammate of Tom Brady thinks that it will be great if he (an analyst) and the future Hall of Famer become a sports broadcaster. Brady is a football encyclopedia and can read defenses very well. Because of his unmatched knowledge of the sport, Tom Terrific could become a great broadcaster.

Considering his deal with FOX Sports, fans can anytime see their favorite QB criticize game plays. However, Brady once said in the Let’s Go! podcast that he will be a strict broadcaster and won’t go easy on the players.
