[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 367610, member: 1429"] Yeah, our receveivers, with the exception of Jennings, and even him, are interchangeable. Their characteristics are different, but they all do the exact same things. You can line any one of them anywhere and ask them to run any route. As for Cobb, I haven't seen any game from him, all I know are from the highlights. But he doesn't show the ability to be a deep treat, and I think that's what people are reffering to. Jennings is a burner, Jones is a capable deep treat and so are Driver and Nelson, but Cobb doesn't appear to be an outside receiver. That's different from being fast, though. Wes Welker doesn't play on the outside, but he's borderline uncoverable. A closer comparison is Percy Harvin. You almost never see him lined up outside, or running deep patterns (though he is better at that than Cobb), but he's so shifty in and out of his breaks, and with the ball in his hands, that he's a great weapon. That's what we'll get with Cobb, a guy that will work the close/intermediate routes, and, with the ball in his hands, will turn into a burner. Plus, it's too soon to say he's not going to be able to work on the deep routes. He'll learn from some of the best in the game. [/QUOTE]
