Tony Gonzalez or Shannon Sharpe

[XThe GreatestX]

In their primes. Who was the better tight end.

A humorous debate between the two on Undisputed.

 

[Flash!]

Tony G.

 

[Official]

1. Ken Dilger
2. Shannon Sharpe
3. Tony Garcia’s

 

[Revolver]

Tony Gonzalez easily.

 

[Gregolian]

Gonz plus Gonz isn't a fucking scumbag human as far we know too.

 

[iwhoopedbatman]

Just prime vs. prime, I'd lean Sharpe slightly.

 

[SportsBarGod]

TG best TE all time by far

 

[INeedARemedy]

Tony easily

 

[EmpireShallFall]

Gates

 

[Corona]

Tony via not being a pos for the ages

 

[PUO3]

Gonzalez widely.

 

[XThe GreatestX]

Gonzalez widely.

I lean towards sharpe prime for prime tbh

 

[Cantalope]

Tony G although I'm really bias.

I lean towards sharpe prime for prime tbh

Sharpe paved the way but I think Tony did it better. Sharpe played with top tier talent and Tony played largely with bums.

 

[Hollywood Jack]

Tony Gonzales on merit and also because Shannon is sort of a cunt.

For their careers, it's Tony by a wide margin. But Sharpe was way ahead of his peers in the 90's as a TE. Their primes (just primes here) are very similar statistically. Sure, Sharpe had Elway to start his career, but teams threw a lot more (and a lot more to TE's and short passes in general) during Gonzalez' prime the following decade. Plus Sharpe's best years were during Elways final years where he was a shell of himself. I give the prime vs. prime edge slightly to Sharpe, mostly because he had huge games in the yoffs (including with the '00 Ravens who had no offense and Trent Dilfer as QB) and Gonzalez really didn't.

But Gonzalez is a better human being as far as we know and Sharpe is a fuckhead, jackass cause he can make Skip look smart sometimes somehow, and a loudmouth douchebag.

This is probably all true. I've never watched his show with Bayless, but he is a massive douche.

 

[Frank23]

I would pick Tony Gonzalez.

 

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

Gonzalez on this alone.
