You just Fred'd that post.

I'm sorry, it had to be said. You used shady unequal criteria and, from my count unless you're including postseason (which would be even more unfair criteria), bad math.

Gronk's last 5 years vs Eifert's last 4? (24 vs 27 by my count)... You could have done last 4 vs last 4. (19 vs 27) Or you could have done first 4 vs first 4 (14 vs 27). But you chose the Fred route. Never choose the Fred route.  

No complicated manipulation of numbers here. It's simple. I used 5 years for Gronk because that's how long he's been having injury troubles. I used 4 years for Eifert because that's how long he's been in the league and he's always dealt with injuries since he's been in the NFL.

If you don't like that the years aren't equal (let's be honest, you just don't like that they don't paint Eifert in the worst light possible), then go ahead and average them. Gronk has averaged 5.6 missed games over the last 5 years and Eifert has averaged 7 missed games.

I included playoff games. Eifert missed 1 playoff game whereas Gronk missed 4. I don't see how that's unfair. Gronk missed the games, so I counted them. If anything, missing playoff games should count for more.

I used pro football reference if you want to check my numbers.

Honestly you're picking nits anyway. I didn't intend my post to be some big defense of Eifert. I guess I deserved it though, because I was picking nits with Nately saying "it's not even close".
