[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 378545, member: 1429"] Yeah, I agree with this a lot. My point regarding Jones and Jordy has always been the same. They're a little bit different, but there simply can't be said that one is clearly better than the other. They're awfully close in their career, and IMHO in their potential. Yes, regarding shifty, I see Jones as more of a Roddy White than a Greg Jennings. Shifty would be how quick a guy can turn directions. I don't think Nelson is "shiftier" than Jones, but I do think Nelson works the middle of the field, specially against zones, better than Jones, and Jones works the sidelines, with positioning, jumping etc, better than Nelson. As for Cobb, he's stronger than I thought initially, but not as quick as I thought. I really see a lot of similarities to Percy Harvin. I don't see the quickness of a DD in his prime or a Jennings. If any of the Packers receivers, he actually looks more like Jones, a little quicker and not as imposing. As for if he can play the sidelines, body control does help, but is not crucial. The Packers don't ask their sidelines receivers to be great jumpers, or to be great at positioning. The key for a GB receiver to play in the sidelines IMHO is to have the speed to win in a go, and the agility to gain separation in a comeback or a backshoulder comeback. Cobb IMHO is a hybrid between Driver and Jones. But he needs to learn how to run routes, so far, I've not liked what I've seen. [/QUOTE]
