[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 732106, member: 12283"] A couple things. While I do absolutely think that his abilities are diminished from his peak-- i.e. speed, quickness, explosiveness, etc.-- I am not saying he's bad or denying that, right now, he's the 3rd best wide receiver on the team. But at his best in 2013-14, he was averaging over 14 yards per catch and a TD every 7.6 catches. Since that time, his YPR has dropped under 10.5 and he's scoring every 13.9 catches. I believe those stats are illustrative of what I actually see on the field, a guy who just isn't as dynamic as he once was. I don't think you explain away a 4 yard drop in YPR and his TD % virtually being cut in half. And I don't think this should be all that surprising. Despite perceptions to the contrary, Cobb was never a stellar athlete by NFL standards. Coming out of Kentucky, he was well below average in just about every measurable other than the forty, despite only being 191 lbs. It doesn't take a whole lot for those guys to drop off a bit. Secondly, I have never said I simply want him gone. If he could be traded for something that would improve the team elsewhere, that would be great (though that's super unlikely to happen). That wouldn't leave the team [I][B]less [/B][/I]talented, just differently talented. It would also potentially address a weakness while opening up room to keep an extra young receiver, as the Packers currently have more guys worth rostering there than they have room for. However, if he can't be moved I don't want him anywhere but on the roster. Some have said that they don't see an Adams extension happening because of all the money tied up in Nelson and Cobb. My response to that is, [I]if the FO really sees it that way[/I], cut Cobb and keep Adams, the younger and better player. However, I've also said repeatedly that I don't think you have to cut Cobb to keep Adams. They have the space to keep all three, and the contracts would not overlap for very long. In short, I think you're mistaking me saying that I think Cobb has declined with saying that I just want him out the door. [/QUOTE]
