    Through seven games (actually played not Week 1-7):

    17 199 1 TD
    24 233 0 TD

    Who is wearing it better?
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Cook missed some time with shoulder injury. He also started season as a backup. Since we don't watch his games, it is hard to say how he is playing, but he looked good on the one nationally televised night game.

    That is his first seven games, and do not include games played he missed.

    I don't know what you mean he started as backup. He was never behind DickRod on the depth chart.

    I mean for the Raiders.

    OK. But I am referring to FA Packer TEs, not Raiders. The offense has remained the same, the TE changed, making the comparison interesting at least.

    My point is that it took Cook more than seven plus games to get integrated. Same will be true (maybe even more with Hundley now) for Bennett.

    I was measuring Bennett against Kelce and Gronkowski - both have around 450 yards and 4 TDs. Why can't Bennett give us that? What the fuck is wrong with him?

    his hands

    if he had caught half the balls that he dropped this year he would actually have pretty good numbers

    Weird, they have him listed as having 3. I thought he had 5

    Still, I expect every starter and backup to play as well or better than the best person at his position in the NFL, or at least at pro bowl level, so he's way short.

    its just like finely that one season

    for about 5 games in a row they said he had 4 drops on the season, and he had about 2 drops in each one of those 5 games, plus the 4 they mentioned, but they just kept saying four drops. in fact at one point they lowered the number to 3 on the year

    bennett has had many more then just 3 drops. its like if they get 2 hands on the ball they count it as a swatted down pass instead of a drop

    i also don't think they count it as a drop if the guy only gets one hand on it, or he gets no hands on it but it hits him in the face or chest, or if they make no attempt at all to catch a catch-able ball

    Cook wasn't all that great either. Bennett is the kind of TE we need; He just didn't play up to expectations. In addition to having problems staying healthy, Cook's thing was going deep. What we needed in a TE is a big target possession type guy who can also block. Bennett should have been that - if he just didn't drop so damn many passes.

    Wisconsin's left tackle caught a TD pass yesterday. Maybe we can look for him in the draft.

    I think a fast pass catching TE - and Cook was really effective for a couple months with Rodgers - is more valuable.

    No he didn’t. The pass went backward so it was a TD run.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    ya, I know it was a lateral, a.k.a. backwards pass. English language says he caught a pass, then ran for a touch down.

    I can be pushed only so far.

    I'd rather flood the field with WR deep threats and have my TE come underneath for a first down if none of the WRs get open, especially if the TE isn't anything special as a blocker.

    I still say they coulda signed both Cook and Bennett.

    The final chapter in Bennett's career has not been written. Who the hell knows, he may just be down because Rodgers is out. Maybe Hotrod throws him a few TD passes in the next coupla weeks and he finds his mojo again. Hell, Bert retired at least 6 years in a row.

    I had a brain malfunction. I knew it was Oakland, but was thinking they moved their stadium, which would be S.F., but maybe that is wrong too

    Worse case; we have Kendricks, who is light years better than the Plodder...and about 7MIL more to spend on a TE if TT chooses to do so
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    What good have you seen in Kendricks that leads you to say that? I haven't seen him do much of anything good at all for the Packers. Richard Rodgers, on the other hand, I see as a decent and much maligned player - this year as well as in the past.
