Games played on average (started):
Eifert- 9.3 (7.5)
Gronk- 11.6 (10.7)


Then there's production when healthy...

Catches (per 16 gms):
Eifert- 53.2
Gronk- 73.6

Yards (per 16 gms):
Eifert- 644.8
Gronk- 1,108.2

TDs (per 16 gms):
Eifert- 8.6
Gronk- 12.4

Gronk is injured a lot, but not nearly to the degree of Eifert, and when he is healthy, he outproduces Eifert by a landslide. They're not really comparable situations. Gronk played the first 42 straight games of his career without missing one. Eifert hasn't even played that many games in his career yet.

Gronk: 4 Pro Bowl, 4 1st Team All-Pro
Eifert: 1 Pro Bowl

One could also argue that Gronk is likely Brady's 1st look, when he's healthy.
