Bro you don't understand it's the reason we didn't draft JSN and won't give Hopkins 20 mil a year.?

I was being specific to targets for WR's.  Not overall team targets.

Who's 4th or 5th or whatever depends on the timing/use, no? 

When they go empty backfield with a TE, I expect to see Cobb on the field as the WR4 over Hardman when they need 5-8 yards, and Hardman over Cobb when they need 10+ yards. Don't use a hammer when you need a wrench; don't use a wrench when you need a screwdriver; etc. Once you get past the top 3 WRs they're not the multi-tool types who belong on the field no matter what down & distance or where they line up.

So it'd be unsurprising that Cobb may have more targets than Hardman, while Hardman still ends up with similar yardage, with both finishing in the 300-400 range, give or take (health permitting). I'm totally fine with that outcome from the WR4a and WR4b, which is how they'll more likely be used than a fantasy football roster's WR4 and WR5 hierarchy. 5 wideouts with no TE I expect to see both on the field. 

Also I see this as another hedge for Davis's health. Davis is fine when healthy; not elite, but fine. The problem is he often hasn't been the past two seasons & they'd rather swap him out for a more known-quantity higher floor than higher ceiling (again, swapping with Hardman based on down & distance).

he's taking the "JSN role". Or so I've heard. No idea what the JSN role is on the Jets.  But whatever it is Cobb is taking it.

Cobb is the really the secret reason why Aaron decided to come here. Shhhh.

Yeah so funny people bought that line in regards to Mims. The translation from baloney-to-English was “he stinks.”

Cobb’s also the reason for global warming, judging by some of the adult freakouts on here.

Wed, 03 May 2023

The New York Jets have made headlines by signing former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver out of retirement.

The move is seen as a bold strategy to bring back the successful chemistry between Driver and newly acquired Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The two players were once a dynamic duo in Green Bay, and the Jets hope to replicate that success in the upcoming season.

Donald Driver, a seventh-round pick in the 1999 NFL Draft, played his entire 14-year career with the Green Bay Packers. Over his career, Driver accumulated 743 receptions, 10,137 receiving yards, and 61 touchdowns. He was selected to the Pro Bowl four times (2002, 2006, 2007, 2010) and played a pivotal role in the Packers' Super Bowl XLV victory in 2011. Driver retired in 2013 as the Packers' all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards.

Since retirement, Driver has led an adventurous and unconventional life. He took up professional trampoline dodgeball, quickly becoming a dominant player and leading his team, the "Bouncing Brawlers," to multiple championships. Driver's agility and hand-eye coordination, honed during his years in the NFL, proved invaluable in his new sport.

Driver also found success as a competitive underwater basket weaver, a niche activity that combines swimming and traditional basket weaving. His natural athleticism and dexterity helped him excel in the sport, and he soon became a world champion. In a surprising turn of events, Driver even participated in extreme ironing competitions, where athletes iron clothes in unusual and challenging locations such as mountain peaks and dense forests.

The Jets' decision to sign Driver out of retirement has raised eyebrows, as the former wide receiver will turn 48 this year. However, team management believes that Driver's incredible post-retirement activities have kept him in peak physical condition. They are optimistic that his experience, knowledge of the game, and chemistry with Aaron Rodgers will make a significant impact on the field.

As the Jets prepare for the upcoming season, fans eagerly await the return of the Rodgers-Driver connection. With Donald Driver's storied career and unique post-retirement exploits, this unexpected signing has the potential to create an unforgettable chapter in New York Jets history.

Unless I missed it, none Hopkins discussion suggested what you are snarking about. Sometimes it helps to read what you're criticizing first. Please keep it going though

Am I the only one who doesn’t hate this move? Clearly, he’s done and washed. I do like the leadership he brings and I only think it will benefit GW. He’s rarely going to see playing time. 

It's a good move.  We are not looking for Cobb to be Garrett Wilson.  We are looking for Randall Cobb to be on the field when it's 3rd and 5 and AR is looking for 'his' guy to make a catch when its needed.

I would hope his guy in that spot is Wilson first and foremost. Our best WR.

[Green Ghost]

Lazard, Cobb, Billy Turner, Tim Boyle… why can’t Rodgers be friends with players who are good at football?

[bicketybam]

Just about every running back needs to know how to pass protect. Of course they’re not on the oline but serve to pick up the blitzes or any free rusher.

Dude, he's a wide receiver

Was there anywhere in my post that I judged? I made a request, for both our benefit.

At least I know that you are without excuse on that great & terrible day.

One would hope but I don't think Douglas is willing to outright cut him.  Financially it makes perfect sense to do so though.

Just logic.  

Judgement is declaring someone is hell bound due to a lack of "excuses".

It is true, jets value versatility. Anything in the range between “not useless” and “stud” will suffice. Ciao, Mims.

[jetblue95]

wait, are there people that really think that the jets 1st round draft selection was impacted by the subsequent signing of cobb?  as if getting a specific player on a 4-year contract (with a 5th year option for R1 picks) would be discarded because they are about to sign a veteran to a 1-year deal?

that is just wacky.

I think we’ve now reached the point why “no religion” is one of the basic rules here. Perhaps we should drop it and say geez and gosh whenever we feeling like using someone’s lords’ name in vain. 
 
Let’s just all remember to keep the sabbath holy while rooting for Randall Cobb this season.

It's not on me that you got involved in a post I made to another individual asking that they not use the Lord's name in anger and without respect.

You are the one who brought up judgement and originally cited scripture to make a case for allowing blasphemy. I responded that you are responsible for the words you use. You own it, I am saddened by that.
