[QUOTE="sschind, post: 727135, member: 10247"] If I had to chose between Cobb and Montgomery it would be tough for me to do. I don't want to put words in your mouth but I think what you were trying to say in the bold part above is that Montgomery may have the advantage because of his ceiling and potential and I can't say I disagree with that. However, the comparison is really only valid if they convert Montgomery back to WR. With regard to the part in bold above as long as Monty is a RB and Cobb is a WR I don't think their ceilings and potentials can be directly compared. They are similar players with similar skill sets but as long as they play two different positions they are going to be asked to do two different things. I don't think you will see Monty line up wide very often (though he may go in motion) and I don't think you will see Cobb in the backfield very often. Monty has youth and versatility on his side but he hasn't shown me that he can be a consistent threat at RB yet and he certainly hasn't shown me he can compare with Cobb when it comes to receiving skills. I like both players though and I really like the idea of both being on the field at the same time. I think Monty offers a bit more in the way of breakaway potential due to his size but I think Cobb, more than any other WR or RB (yes even Jordy) can rally the team. I love his enthusiasm and I think if Rodgers can hit him for a few crucial plays he can really pick the team up and ignite them. He is always smiling and genuinely seem to be excited, not that the others aren't but not like Cobb. I liked his sideline catch even more than Cook's in the playoff game last season. He may not be playing up to his contract but I think he is very important to the Packers offense. Maybe more than his numbers show. I assume that includes 2014 because when you say "since 2014" it could mean it is included or it could mean it is not included. The reason I ask is because numbers over three years can be deceiving.
