[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 636980, member: 9033"] Everyone is focusing on Adams (and he deserves quite a bit of blame) but Randall Cobb is by far the larger disappointment this year. Randall Cobb was supposed to be one of the best receivers in the NFL. Randall Cobb, among WRs with at least 25% of the team's targets (so only looking at WRs that play a lot), is ranked 50th in yards per route run. Randall Cobb is averaging 1.45 yards per route run. I think everyone can agree that Jordan Matthews has been pretty bad for the Eagles this year....Jordan Matthews is averaging 1.60 yards per route. Before people start talking about Cobb's role as a slot receiver, let's look at yards per route from the slot. Randall Cobb is averaging 1.48 yards per route from the slot (slightly higher than overall because 10% of his snaps are not from the slot). Larry Fitzgerald plays 60% of his snaps from the slot and he averages 2.34 yards per route run from the slot. So, yes, Adams has terrible hands and his confidence is shot. James Jones just can't run anymore. Randall Cobb is being paid more than 3.5 times than both those guys [I]combined[/I]. I used to think that Cobb was an elite WR. However, now I'm wondering if he is. Because there are only two choices at this point. Either Cobb isn't nearly as good as thought or the coaching staff's history of uninspired offensive design is catching up to the team. I really don't think Edelman is that much better than Cobb, but just looking at what they do on the field, Edelman is far better than Cobb. Is that a result of Edleman just being better or does that difference come from the Patriots actually designing plays to get Edelman the ball? And the answer isn't to give playcalling back to McCarthy. The Packers have never been big on designing plays to help their receivers get open. [/QUOTE]
