Doesn't appear Tony Gonzalez ready to call it quits

[Naptown Lifer]

Was watching nfl live on still and they did a piece on this article from tony Gonzalez from a magazine. Sorry I don't have source names.

Major quotes

"Matt Ryan is an excellent qb but not elite. He's almost there and will be there, but he has a little learning still"

"Maybe if the team was 9-2 or hot in November I would come back ( to finish next season)"

This guy is soooo hungry for a ring and clearly still has the desire and skill to play. Atlanta may not be the spot to make a run. I think his comments were spot on about Ryan.

[PrincetonTiger]

Agreed

[Insert Colts Pun Here]

Nah, he said before the Pro Bowl that he has made his final decision and is very content with it.

 

Seemed pretty set on retiring to me.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

I don't understand why he wouldn't go back to the failcons. The guy still has the skills and productivity for like 3 more years

[chad72]

He'll replace Aaron Hernandez for the Pats.

[jvan1973]

He'll replace Aaron Hernandez for the Pats.

he can't

[Qwiz]

Nah, he'll retire. He came back for a ring this season and things just went spiraling downhill, I don't think he wants to go through the disappointment again.

[Synthetic]

He's past his prime and needs to hang it up.

 

 

Atlanta is going to lose 30% of their offense without him anyway since most the time on third down, he's the go to guy.

 

I would hate to see him get injured or worse at his age.

If I was him, I'd leave the Falcons and go somewhere where he has a shot of winning at. (Idk his contract details) 

 

That said, I really think he retires. 

[Valpo2004]

I think he retires, but if he doesn't then it wouldn't be smart to return to the Falcons.  

 

The question is what team is a contender but is in need of a TE??  

 

But I think he's done.
