Gronk is OUT on the Dallas Cowboys.
On Sunday night, the team fell to the San Francisco 49ers, 42-10, in what was supposed to be their biggest game of the season.
“I’m on Deebo [Samuel]’s side,” Rob Gronkowski said on FanDuelTV’s Up and Adams. “They definitely don’t want to see the San Francisco 49ers again—I don’t know what they’re thinking.”

So, here’s what happened.
Following the loss, Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons was vocal about it, but particularly called out 49ers tight end George Kittle who sported a **** Dallas shirt.

“George Kittle had three touchdowns on us,” said Parson on his podcast The Edge with Micah Parsons on Bleacher Report. “And he posted this thing to IG. He said **** Dallas. I just feel like he’s making it way more personal than it had to be. Kittle’s my guy. But I’m gonna say this. Laugh now, cry later. We got something for that, just trust. If we see them again, just trust. I ain’t gonna put too much on it. You gonna make it personal? We can make it personal.”
Samuel later stopped by Up and Adams and fired back at Parsons saying the conversation was personal before the game had even started.
“42 to 10, I don’t think you wanna see us again,” Samuel said. “It might be a little bit worse.”
"It was already personal…42 to 10, I don't think you wanna see us again. It might be a little bit worse"

Gronk continued…
“The Dallas Cowboys aren’t for real, they kind of tricked us this year,” Gronkowski said. “I’ll tell you why they tricked us. Because they had three blown-out wins already. But you gotta look back at it now; now you’ve seen when they played a good team, the San Francisco 49ers.”
Gronk did say the 49ers were the real deal, even saying they’re the best team in the league.
“They struck gold with an $800,000 quarterback as well,” Gronkowski added.
Gronk, referring to Brock Purdy, makes a good point.
The 23-year-old leads all quarterbacks with a 123.1 passer rating and has thrown nine touchdowns without an interception while completing 72.1 percent of his throws.
The 49ers are 5-0 on the season.
