Gotta be Gates.Tony Gonzalez is probably one of the "next closest."Over the last 9 years, only one player has had at least 7 receiving TDs every year since 2004. Who is it?For bonus, the next closest is 6 of the last 9 years. There are 2.Name them.ETA--Correction above on bonus question as there are 2, not 1.

They're not still out there...they are Fitz and Coston ETA: I think you mis-read the OP. He said 6 seasons (out of 9) of 7+Updates on some of the guesses, for the OP...
The first column is the number of times they reached 7+. The second column is the number they reached 6+ (out of 9 seasons since 2004)
Gates - 9, 9
Gonzo - 4, 6
Fitz - 6, 8
Smiff - 5, 6
Wayne - 4, 6
White - 5, 6
AJ - 4, 5
Boldin - 4, 4
Colston - 6, 6
Gates was the winner. Our two guys of all nine seasons at 6+ are still out there. Fitz was the closest so far (only missed this year, with 4) while his ex-teammate Boldin was the farthest off.

That is interesting. When you factor in Gates and his injuries and missed games, it makes his feat even that more remarkable.Oops, I misread the OP.

It does bring up the interesting point that, while Gates has had 7+ in every season since 2004, no one else has had 6+ in that span (and I don't think anyone has 5+ in every year since then either).
It's possible but he looked really slow and lumbering last season.This thread brings up an interesting point. Could we see a Gates resurgence? He's not what he was, but he was generally healthy all season, just on a terrible offense under a lame duck head coach, with a slumping QB.
So? Can't be any worse than Jason Witten and he just went and put up the most receptions by a TE in history.Gates knows how to get open and we know Rivers loves him as much as Romo loves Witten.It's possible but he looked really slow and lumbering last season.This thread brings up an interesting point.

I said, it's possible, but Gates looks like he's close to the finish line to me. He's been banged up a lot in recent seasons, he had a major foot issue, and he's beed slowed as a result. He's a couple of years older than Witten, who admittedly as you implied was never blessed with speed. Witten does get force fed a ton of passes, but doesn't do much with them anymore. Gates could be capable of that I guess.I own Gates in one league so I'd love for him to be a force again - I still think he'll be startable and probably still a good redzone target but I just see his days as being a difference maker behind him.So?
