Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 609907">For now.  It's hard to see him as anything but a slot guy and maybe a gadget play guy out of the backfield to start out.For those who get excited about the prospects of him playing in the backfield I have 2 observations.  First, those plays met with limited success the few times Cobb ran them.  Cobb's career rushing stat line is 7 carries for 35 yards.  He had a long run of 19; the other 6 went for 16 yards.  In short, the Packers have not run this play well and have used it quite sparingly, as is the case with most of their gadget plays.As for his status 3 years from now, that's difficult to say.  Packer receivers, Nelson and Cobb included, have built their route trees over a 3 - 4 year period.  James Jones was dropping balls and zigging when Rodgers was zagging, and then he wasn't, even if it took 5 years to get there.</blockquote>
