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". 

I guess my problem was you added that extra year, but cut it off right before two 16-game Gronk seasons. Gronk's 7 seasons he's missed the same as his last 5 seasons, but one makes him look much more fragile.


I did redo the math using PFR and a calculator rather than just mental math just to make sure.

'12-'16 Gronk played 56 games.
5x16 = 80 possible games
80-56 = 24 games missed in those 5 years

Same with Eifert. '13-'16 he played 37 games.
4x16 = 64 possible games
64-37 = 27 games missed in those 4 years

So I still have no idea how you got 28 and 28, man. Lol
