Cobb vs. McCaffery

[GreenBaySlacker]

Looking at this team. You wouldn't think a wr would be picked up. Oline? Yea. Qb?Yea.... but wr?

Considering all the wrs and tes are healthy. And Clark is already on the practice squad. Makes you wonder... why?

On the Cobb front. He isn't producing. Even with #12, his stats have gone down, and are now around 2 catches a game ....

So that aside. I thought I was dreaming. But I swear I heard Cobb throw the qb and play calling under the bus recently... I mean. Has he had enough? Is there a mutiny growing, and GB is preparing for the house cleaning?

Cobb is already a target for cap savings next year... based on his current production. I'd say it's almost a certainty he will be replaced with a cheaper model.

Wut? Mutiny?

Aye aye Cap'n. Where's the rum?

he will be replaced with a cheaper model.

Not always a good thing!

Cobb vs. McCaffery

it's not even close.

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

it's not even close.

I ask you. How hard is it to replace 2 catches a game?

I just caught a passing ear and thought I heard Cobb saying we need better passing and the play calling wasn't good..... anyone else see that post game interview?

I can't even remember what TyMont was like at WR, though I guess we didn't get to see all that much of him at that position. If Aaron Jones is the real deal at runningback, I don't think we'll leave Ty to languish as the RB2. He may see more slot work.

Cobb may have said they need to execute plays better and they need to do better in the passing game, but I doubt he said "we need better passing" and the "play calling wasn't good". He has been nothing but a hardworking team player since day 1. If anyone had caught that on tape, I'd assume it was edited before I'd believe he actually said that in an interview.

The right answer here is Max will be replacing Trevor davis or Jeff Janis

 

[Mondio]

My guess is they had room on the PS, Max was someone they liked in training camp, saw he was available again for their PS so they signed him to it. I'm not reading into it any further than that at this point.

Doesn't matter. Without Rodgers they are both pretty much useless anyways. Here's to drafting in the top 5 next yr!!

Wouldn’t mind max replacing Trevor and Clark replacing Janis

Nobody is replacing Janice anytime soon with how good he is at punt coverage.

While I agree with that statement 2 years ago, I haven't been that impressed with him since. I think many people bring his 2015 season up as a gunner and his 2 hail mary catches as proof as to how good he is or could be. Sure, once in awhile every blind squirrel finds a nut. However, this year he hasn't done a whole lot on special teams. His 2 kick returns were terrible, so he was replaced by Davis. He has had a clean shot at recovering 3 fumbled punts, .....3! Despite having his hands on all 3, he couldn't gather them in. I also have seen him fly right by returners. I know he gets double teamed, but so do many gunners. He is nowhere to be seen on offense. He is going to have to do a lot more for the Packers to want to bring him back on another contract after this year.

I think he is constantly the first guy at the punt returner this season. Even mising fumbles, he's still doing an excellent job.

Agreed. It takes 3 years for receivers to play at an acceptable level with a HOF QB in this system. We need a modern offensive mind and I'll accept whatever they decide to do with the WRs that we have.

Exactly.

If they know for a fact 12 is not coming back this season I would not be surprised to see Cobb traded.

I think he'd flourish in the Pats offense. I mentioned this in another thread, if we could snag one of their top two CB's for him, that'd be super. Not sure how A-Aron would like that though, they're best buds.

This is exactly the plan I had after my divorce. That plan went sour when I had to buy the next wife an engagement ring again!

 

[gopkrs]

I thought from the start...McCaffrey for Davis. He looks like he would return punts better and he has better hands. A lot of people say Davis has awesome speed. I don't see it. At least not on a football field.
