Why the Packers might let Cobb leave· Page 3

I still want that 6'5" receiver that Aaron can throw some garbage up and the guy goes and makes the play. Cobb is good between the 20's, but he's no red zone threat. I still don't consider Cobb our top priority over Bulaga or retaining House. It seems to me, the Packers have been incredible at the "next guy up" in the receiving corps. Have no idea why so many of you get so worked up over this position. Look at what Belichek and Brady do with the scrap heap of receivers they have.

Sign Bulaga, and beef up our defense and we still have more than enough to win on offense, with or without Cobb.

He is so much more than just a slot guy and can do anything on a football field including playing QB. Does it really matter where he lines up? His production is his production regardless. You want a guy with his numbers walking away at 24? He will be 25 when season starts this year. So much more for him to do and heights for him to reach. Pay him NOW for what he will do LATER. He's going to get nothing but better barring injury which is a knock on him as he's only really stayed healthy one full season and it was his contract year.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Regardless of his production numbers Cobb is still a slot WR and should be paid accordingly. He is not able to go outside and do what Jordy does, however Jordy can and have been very sucessful in the slot, he might get a handoff or two, and return a few punts however none of that is reason to overpay and certainly neither is his QB skillz.

It's quite simple, Randall Cobb is not the best WR on this team nor is he in the top 15 the league even if he has 12 TD's or so this season. It's shocking how his expecting a 12 m $ contract, he should come back to earth. It sucks that there are desperate teams like the Raiders and Jaguars that are desperate to sell some jerseys. Either then that, most teams won't even pay Cobb anywhere close to 10 m a year.

Randall is just a kid. So much great football ahead of him.

I'm sure Davante, Abby and Janis MIGHT get 90 receptions between the 3 of them. Randall can change games. I DO NOT care if he's in the slot, outside, backfield or at TE. Matters not...things happen when he gets it in his hands. Losing that is a monumental loss to this franchise no other way to look at it.

EDIT: C'mon, Nerd! Brandon Marshall was traded to the Jets... Harvin is rumored to be coming available. Percy could replace what we lose in Randall, and I think playing with an elite QB and franchise might mellow out the headcase that is Harvin.

By that logic, we should expect Davante to top 90 receptions next season. We'll see.

I understand we had more at WR when Jordy was young but Jordy took a long time to develop. Randall made a major impact first time he ever touched it for us.

IF we don't sign Randall, there had better be some big splash coming we wouldn't normally see like a Julius Thomas, or something.
