[QUOTE="Candidate for Deletion, post: 729878, member: 12503"] I'm not suggesting that having a dominant TE is not a good thing; that is a given. I'm contesting that Jared Cook was somehow solely or even largely responsible for the team going 10-2 when he was playing, as that is what was directly implied. I also doubt the ability of this team to fully utilize a dominant TE in the manner which many other teams have become adept. This is not to say we cannot do so, but that aside from Cook our last best guy - Finely - was never really much of a focal point for our offense in the way that people seem to remember. We run a unit designed to take advantage of highly skilled WRs and meticulously timed routes. The primary weapon for Rodgers is, and has been, the WR. Aside from the QB and WRs themselves, the most important next factor in opening up our passing game (specifically WR game) is our running game, something MM has said again and again, to the extent which it keeps the defense from selling out on the pass. I'm totally willing to accept that a dominant TE, used well in the middle of the field especially, can do something similar, but that is not something our team has demonstrated much in the last decade. I personally believe that an effective short passing game could do as much or more for us as an effective running game. I would love to see Bennett and Kendricks fill that role for the team, though I will have to be convinced that two guys at twenty-nine and thirty years old will totally transform our offense. They could, I hope they will, but it will have to be proven to me. [/QUOTE]
