Cobb is struggling

He’s okay when the ball is actually in his hands. But, at this point he is really struggling to get any separation. Lewis is destroying him every single time. He has no burst in his get off and looks stiff. I hate to say it but maybe he’s washed up?
LMAO! And people were saying he is an upgrade from Beasley. Were gonna see about that!

There's going to be a ton of crow to be eaten regarding Cobb. He's the shiny new toy.

Why he's a lock for the 53 before training camp started in certain people's eyes is beyond me.

Really, you guys should know this by now. Cobb used to have a QB who could hit a dime from 35 yards and now he has a QB who would be hard
pressed to hit the side of a barn. No wonder he's having issues.
Yeah except Cobb wasn’t very good last year with Rodgers. His problems aren’t the quarterback. Btw, the quarterback he wanted to play with.

I guess I’m saying I’m not so sure he’s a lock. At least if we’re being honest. I’ve been at 2 practices live and he’s been underwhelming.
I don't know his history he could just be a poor practice receiver but I actually didn't like him when he was with the Packers either.

I think one must also realize that not every play is designed for Cobb. Against some defensive sets, a curl or any other route will be open for a completion. Against another defensive set, the curl is expected to be covered to pull a defender and allow another route to be open. It’s not about a superhuman receiver winning on every route. Offenses aren’t designed that way. You cannot just watch one guy on every play and think he should be open....progressions begin with the guy most likely to be open, the guy the play should work best for versus a particular D.

The best one was "Cobb is more versatile you can line him up anywhere".

You can line up any WR anywhere, doesn't mean they're going to be good there. You definitely don't want Cobb on the outside. It's crazy how many silly things are said on this forum.

Cobb is not going to be as dangerous with short area quickness and getting separation as Beasley was. He just isn’t. Beasley is one of the best in the league period at what he does.

We have to hope Cobb makes up for it by having a bit more run after the catch ability than Beasley.

I also think having Witten back will help. Beasley’s biggest factor was that on 3rd and 5 or so he was the primary target. Witten can be that guy still I think.

I also think that Jourdan Lewis can make a lot of receivers look bad. Lewis legit has the natural ability to be a high end starter/pro bowl player. He would have most likely been a first rounder, if not for the domestic violence allegations that he was found innocent of.

It’s not hyperbole or homerism to think that Lewis could be developing into a high end corner. Although he doesn’t quite fit Richards system.

He signed for close to the vet minimum. People hyping him as some coup were fooling themselves. He's not his 2015 self. He should be a decent Alan Burns type, but don't expect much more.
