You can't see why they are good on a broadcast.

For example, Cobbs first TD reception.

Cobb blew the play and ran the wrong route.

Looks good to you. But it was a big mistake.

Since you don't know what the assignments are, what the correct read is, or what the rest of the players are doing, you can't tell from the broadcast if it is a good play or a lucky one.

The comment about Rodgers looks good on a TV Broadcast is not relevant. Because you can't see the details that actually make him that good. You see the results and assume it was his genius. But you couldn't tell us what the D allignment was, what his adjustment was, what his read was or even if he threw the ball to the right guy.

The coaches looking at the all 22 tape can see that.

Just because you can see Rodgers looks good on TV, doesn't mean you know why.

I just noticed they signed him for three years. For a UDFA who made the roster via tryout, isn't that a little unusual?

Basically, the contracts are not guaranteed and no portion of them is. Unless I'm not understanding it properly. Which, with how many loops an hurdles the NFL has, could be true.

The point on Cobb and his wrong route is that the only way you would know if it was wrong, is if you knew what the play call was in the huddle and what that play called for each person to do. No tape is going to tell me what the play call was, or what Randall should've done. We only learned it was wrong after it was told to us. The announcers who witnessed it, Cris Collinsworth being one of them, played NFL WR at a high level and didn't pick up on it.

This three year deal sounds very much like what they did with Sam Shields.
