For Rob Gronkowski, the previous Patriots tight finish who received 4 Tremendous Bowls with Brady and Belichick, there isn’t a query that the Chiefs nonetheless have some approach to go to higher New England’s legacy.
“I don’t suppose they’re closing in on every little thing we have achieved in our dynasty as a result of it was over 20 years. You had that first dynasty decade, from like 2002-2010 … then it trickled into the second decade,” he informed the Wealthy Eisen Present.
Gronkowski, although, generously acknowledged that the Chiefs have achieved one thing distinctive.
“What they’ve achieved during the last 10 years, I imagine, (is) the very best decade of dominance from a dynasty, particularly in the event that they get the three-peat,” he mentioned.
There’s, nevertheless, a bent for recency bias in such evaluations and it is value remembering that whereas the NFL could also be set as much as keep away from long-lasting dynasties, by way of the NFL Draft and roster guidelines, there have been a number of dynasties earlier than Belichick and Reid got here alongside.
