Contributions on the field are more applicable to actual success than fans' projections on "hunger for success".
2016Kendricks is basically the replacement for Cook, and he had Goff & company throwing to him. Bennett is the over and above.Code:Name Rec Targ Rec% Yds Yd/Rec Long TDs Car TD Car Yr TD/Yr Cook 30 51 58.8% 377 12.6 47 1 17 8 2.1 Kendricks 50 87 57.5% 499 10.0 44 2 17 6 2.8 Bennett 55 73 75.3% 701 12.7 58 7 30 9 3.3
I'm not disagreeing regarding your comments as it relates to the defense. But to completely ignore the TE signing as "TT doing NOTHING" indicates a certain level of blindness as it relates to what the Packers have brought in so far. Just because the signings weren't where we were hoping doesn't mean they did "nothing". They vastly updated their receiving core, and gave M3 something to work with he has never had in his entire tenure: 2 starting quality TEs.
And honestly, considering Lacy was injured most of last year and fat most of the previous year, I don't really see it as a downgrade that he was signed elsewhere. He wasn't exactly reliable these last two years. The G is a downgrade, but I'll wait to see if it's a tire fire before calling the fire department.
