How good is Cobb?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I kinda see Randall Cobb as a good #3. He's not as good as Jennings at getting open. James Jones was more productive.

Cobb is a good returner. A nice utility player. He can run out of backfield, but is no Reggie Bush.

My memory of Cobb's career is fuzzy. Has he shown enough to suspect he'll develop into a strong #1 or #2?

much better than jones as a wr, not as good as jennings (when he was here and healthy) as a wr, better all-around than both.

In the past he's been a solid reciever. Definitely one of the better slot recievers in the NFL.

He's going to need a lot of catches to get pro bowler type numbers though. So far this season he hasn't been near what he was in 2012 IMO. The last two weeks he has been failing to get separation from linebackers and failing to make anything happen after the catch.

I'd say Jennings > Cobb > Jones

Jones and Jennings are both past their primes. I don't think Cobb is as good as either at their peaks.

I can't really digest the stats. Cobb has had a slow start this year, he will probably pick it up. I just don't have a memory of him making great catches like I saw from Jones.

What are Cobb's assets as a receiver?

I had real boner for Jones after his great season - was that last year or year before when he lead league in TDs?

Cobb hasn't sent a tingle up my leg for a very long time - maybe his injury last year pushed his great plays into distant memory.

Cobb has already had a better year than Jones ever has IMO.

The best thing about Cobb is the best thing about every good slot guy. He has suddeness in his cuts, runs clean routes, good hands, and has a feel for leveraging defenders to find windows. As a bonus he's dangerous in the open field which can turn those quick developing underneith routes into big plays. As a bonus, bonus he can get you out of a game at running back or quarterback.

He seems to be at his best when Rodgers gets in trouble and breaks the pocket. It's when all the routes have been run and it's every man for himself that he and Rodgers seem to have a real connection. When he was a kid and they were diagraming plays on the QBs palm, Cobb was surely the best player on the field.

The market reception Jones got should tell you all you need to know. Cobb is just a much more desireable mold.

[Carolina_Packer]

I think Cobb is special, and I think as the year goes on, his opportunities will come. I think Jordy just has the hot hand, and why wouldn't you keep feeding him?

[Bossman641]

I hope the best is yet to come this year because so far he's not creating a ton of separation or much yac.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Jennings at his best was better than Cobb right now. I think Jones is closer to Boykin than Cobb.

[George Cumby]

Jones played a different role. He was the big, strong kid who could out muscle and make the spectacular catch. Cobb's the slippery, shifty guy who's supposed to make a killing from the slot and with the YAC.

I think Harlans correct, I think the injury may have robbed him of some of his speed.

[Joemailman]

Rodgers mentioned on his weekly interview with Wilde that TE's haven't had a lot of opportunities because they've been staying in to block more. That is probably affecting Cobb. Getting Bulaga back and getting Bostick out there could help the situation.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Ummm...Cobb has nothing on Jennings. Nothing.

Jennings in his prime was one of the most underrated wideouts in the league. Just a deadly route runner, creates big separation, beats guys deep regularly, and was crazy clutch (3rd and 10 in the superbowl??). This is not even debatable.

Cobb through two weeks has had a lot of trouble getting open. Been a big disappointment so far.

Even better disappointment has been Boykin. Not just because he hasn't produced and is being surpassed by Adams. But also because part of the reason we let Jones walk was because he was supposed to be up and coming. If last year was fluke, he screws us because Jones would have been cheap to bring back.

Boykin looked like Jones on some plays last year - strong, good body control, some big catches. But Jones had a season where he made big plays week after week.

Jones is over the hill now.

I'm confused by Cobb, I'm really unsure what kind of season he will turn in. He did look like Percy Harvin in flashes in the past. Haven't seen one of those flashes for a while.

What has Cobb done as a rusher?
