I would rather have had Matthews or Latimer even Moncrief, but not Cooks.
There is caution on TT's record of 2nd round WR's... a lot of the guys who were there when those guys were drafted are gone. Do we know Ted Thompson is the WR genius, or was it one of the many who departed...Schneider, Dorsey, McKenzie or one of the scouts? Ted Thompson gets the credit but who did the work? Yes, Ted Thompson has to sign off on any pick but I'd be curious to know who is the real brains behind all that credit given to Ted Thompson for his 2nd round success?
In 6 of his 14 games Davante didn't break 100 yards in that offense. He put up multi 200 yard games vs. substandard competition. A lot of his catches were screens, like Cooks.
I'll bet you right now, barring injury for either player, that Matthews puts up better numbers than Adams. Not only better numbers but significantly better numbers.
Man, I hope you're right... I just see a man who'll be lucky to give us James Jones production.
I'll go one step further...Abbrederis will have a better Packers career...not first season, but career in Green Bay.
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because theyâve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
