Packers Star TE Martellus Bennett Reveals on Instagram Story That He's Retiring After This Season

[Harlan Huckleby]

OK, OK, so Cook's star is rising over Las Vegas Strip.

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

What's the over under on number of games after the relocation before some raiders defender is nicknamed the vegas stripper?

[mraynrand]

^^^^^. Everything with the raiders will require some betting line.

[Gotarace]

The way he has been playing I can see why he wants to retire. Hope he does and the Packers draft Troy Fumagalli..this kid is always making plays.

[mraynrand]

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

17 199 1 TD
24 233 0 TD

Who is wearing it better?

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?

a lot of people think its just a ploy to get traded to a contender

i say do it

he's not helping us out at all

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.

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.

Kendricks has the speed and route running ability to get open. The game I was at...he could create separation and ran good routes

Plodder just knows how to read zone coverage and find the spot to sit down and wait for the ball to come.

Kendricks IMO can be a functional starter with a good QB.

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

[ThunderDan]

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.

[bobblehead]

Most of us thought this would be an upgrade over Cook; I wonder if TT did, too.

We were wrong.

Blame stubby. Most of his career in GB has been spent pass blocking.

[Harlan Huckleby]

No he didn’t. The pass went backward so it was a TD run.

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.
