How good is Cobb?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Agree 100%. It's fashionable to say the Packers have a deep corps of WR's. The truth is they used to. In 2011 our starters were Jennings, Driver and Finley at TE. Jordy was a part-time starter with Jones and Cobb on the bench. Now that is a deep corps of receivers.

In the last few years we've lost Jennings, Driver, Jones and Finley. We've replaced them with...Boykin, Davante Adams, Janis and Richard Rodgers. That's a downgrade by anybody's calculation.

Jordy and Cobb are our starters. Cobb is a natural slot receiver and Jordy our natural downfield threat. Cobb is quick not fast. He's forced into a position of going downfield which is not his strength.

Seriously, the braintrust needs to get Adams and especially Janis into the picture ASAP. Adams is Jones-like. Janis is Jordy-like. We need their help now.

As for TE's? We should probably let them stay occupied blocking. None of them show any stand-out receiving ability.

This all sounds about right.

I look at a slot WR as the #3 WR. They often are not able to get off jams, and may not have excellent downfield speed.

Jerry Rice was not big. He was fast enough, althougth not a burner. I knew Jerry Rice. He was a friend of mine. You Randall Cobb are not Jerry Rice. (I only mention Rice because Cobb's limitations are not just size or even speed.)

I'm laying down the gauntlet for Cobb. I hate because I love. Show me you are more than a guy this year.

Jerry Rice was not big.

Rice was 6'2" 200. He wasn't Calvin Johnson big, but he was bigger than average.

Rice was 6'2" 200. He wasn't Calvin Johnson big, but he was bigger than average.

And he came into the league 30 years ago (!!!) that was damn good size.

From the '6 degrees of separation' file, Al "the WR drafted before Rice" Toon's son, who also played for the Badgers, is with NO. Hasn't had a great start to his career.

OK, Alex, Great WRs six foot or shorter.

Who is Tim Brown?

Maybe Cobb is too short to play WR.
