Can there be a none of the above?
I happen to agree with alot of you, I am concerned with the coaching change and what that will do with the offense. I know the OC is from the KC history, but all this talk of more running, tells me they are not going to be that close to the vermiel offense. However, Gonzo is still the only real target for passing in KC.
As for Shockey, I just hate having to depend on a guy I know won't play a whole season. Granted you always have to protect for a bye, but to have to protect with a REAL GOOD option due to injury concerns is a whole nother ball game. It is one reason why I stay away from Stallworths and F.Taylors and such.

Of the two though...I think Shockey does have the most upside. His QB will only get better, and I think there will be a push this year to take some pressure and carries from Tiki. So more passes are an option I believe.

So I will say Shockey.

I have to go with shockley on this one. Until there is another receiver threat in KC, shockey is going to be a better option, i agree with most that gonzo td total will go up this year, but shockey is going get alot better matchup than gonzo who will continue to be bracket in coverage.

Going with Shockey as well. Personally I just think he is a better player at this stage of their careers, he has a better quarterback throwing to him, solid red zone target, and he has yet another receiver on the team this year to take attention away from him.

He is a punk, but he wins this battle, IMO.

Unlike that bum, witsen or something like that, that the girls have, right?

Yeah the guy that both of these tight ends will be looking up to by season's end.

.

Yeah you post pictures as well as "that" te catches, lol.

Will get a new one up later this evening, been a busy day

Shockey gets the nod, 9 to 5

As it should be.

I go with Shockey as well. I am mystified by why all of you Gonzo lovers have frogotten he isn't the healthiest guy around either. If they both play the whole season I feel Shockey will put up better numbers this year. The 3rd year magic happens again.

He's not??? Last I looked (which was 20 secs ago) he has played every game the last 6 YEARS!!!! What do you mean he's not the healthies of guys??? You got to explain this one to me, guy is a rock and as dependable as they come IMO, so where do you get this opinion from?

I like Shockey over Gonzo but I think you will see a leap in TD production even if the new coach is run happy. Larry isnt going to maintain the pace he had to at seasons end last year and Gonzo is the man to help take some of the load off. Let the Oline block for a damn change.

Easy pick IMO, Shockey showed alot of maturity last season and he's who Eli will look for alot inside the 20 this year. I see him with 8-10 TD's this season.

Gonzo on the other hand has became even more of a blocking TE last year and i think that trend will continue. I only project 4-6 TD's for Gonzo.

So, considering you don't get enough yardage for big points from a TE. I would much rather have Shockey (injury risk or not.)
