Randall Cobb, the X factor.

[mission]

Pro Bowl player, easy. Might not make it this year as it seems to be something you get the following season, but the kid is legitimate. I'd like to see him in an actual full-time role. Love seeing #12 gain confidence in him and get him the ball more and more in crucial spots.

Called it from day one, dude is a future star. If you saw him play in college you knew what type of player GB was getting when they drafted him. The things he would do against the top defenses in college football playing in the SEC were unreal with the talent he had around him at Kentucky. This guy played QB, HB, and WR during his career for Kentucky and I hope MM starts to use him in the backfield in more once Jennings comes back.

i was right there with ya brandon. we're just starting to scratch the surface with this kid

i love him lining up in the backfield for a few plays a game

[gbgary]

I pay zero attention to college fb so at the time he was drafted I noted the excitement many of you showed for him at the time. you guys were right...he's a phenom!

Aside from his inability to see the field consistently. I'll take Cobb over Harvin any day of the week on dependability.

No offense, Cobb is great, but Harvin is on another level. He's Randall Cobb with elite speed. And, despite his concussion problems in his first two years, he's only missed 3 games in 3 1/2 years. None in the last two years.

Everybody loved the Cobb pick.

X,Y,Z factors.

Cobb is also being utilized like Sproles. MM watched every Sproles play from last season and is utilizing Cobb in a similar manner.

Cobb could replace Jennings which means a new returner must be secured in the upcoming draft.

I think more like Harvin. Sproles lines up in the back field most of the time. Maybe Cobb will play more rb when Jennings returns. But right now, he's more like a Harvin clone.

Harvin may have more God-given athletic talent, but I'm not sure who will be the better player when all is said and done. It has been mentioned that Cobb's ultimate goal is to be a head coach after he is done playing, and that he is preparing for it already. It has been said that he studies film constantly and keeps extensive notes on players and schemes. He designs plays and defenses for fun. It was said last year that he was getting to know the offense as good as any of the QBs. All of that preparation can have outstanding results. Rodgers has said that Cobb sees plays developing the same as he does.

The TD Sunday is a good example. Cobb said it was designed for him to go inside, and he was open inside, but as soon as he saw Rodgers moving, he turned outside to get into Rodger's field of view. Seems obvious, yet not all players react soon enough, aggressively enough and sufficiently determined to make the play when the original play breaks down. Maybe Harvin is just as smart and plays just as well. I really don't care, because having Cobb is just fine with me.

Rodgers and Cobb could become one of those really special QB/WR pairings.

Man....think of the possibilities when Jennings comes back.

One pigskin won't be enough!

I have a woody!

Harvin is one of the best athletes on the offensive side of the football in the world and is almost as versatile as Cobb (Remember Cobb also has an arm!). But the only place where one of these guys really stands out is in the head. Cobb was called by many the best locker room guy in his draft. Harvin has been synonymous with weed and migrains. I'll take Cobb any day!

[Joemailman]

I remember reading that at Kentucky Cobb was a film junkie. He would drop in on the coach's meetings when they were watching film. So it's not surprising that he has coaching aspirations.

The day after he was drafted by the Packers, he was asked at a PC if he was disappointed to last until the last pick of the 2nd round. His response was "I would have waited until the 7th round if it meant going to Green Bay". While that may have been in part playing to the home crowd, I think he did realize that the Packers multi-faceted passing offense utilizes his skills perfectly.

Aaron Rodgers: "He's a star in the making," "He's a big-time player. He has the right approach for being a professional. He takes his job very seriously. He sees the game through the eyes of a quarterback. He's played quarterback before (at Kentucky), but he asks the right questions.

"He wants to be on the same page with me. He kind of wants to know what I'm thinking."

Damn, if I loved the guy before, I don't even know how to describe it after reading some of yalls posts. Wow.

To be fair, that weed is probably helping the migraines.

Dammit, it's medicinal. Percy gots the cataracts.
