That's a good question. Who is more versatile, Randall Cobb or Devin Hester or Percy Harvin?

Cobb is just potential at this point, and probably has too much talent on his team to really shine the way Harvin can so its really hard to judge his versatility.

Hester is a single threat. He sucks as a WR.

Field position is huge.

Thank you Earthquake. I see a lot of green & gold tint here. Hey, I love Cobb too, but right now, as of 6/23/2012, Cobb is still just potential. He hasn't proved himself yet.

Hester is the BEST returner EVER, but an average at best WR. I'd take Jennings, Jordy, and Jones above Hester as WR. Easily.

But Harvin has already proven he can do everything and do it well. I'm just hoping Cobb can develop into a Percy Harvin.

Harvin obviously put up more all purpose yards.

Hester is over rated in his impact in the game. He had 5 TDs. Take all of his return production and compare him to a real WR and he actually wouldn't be very good. Even with his receiving production and his return production combined.

For the money they are paying him, I would rather have a solid #1WR than Hester. WIth 10+ TDs a year.

I think using Devin Hester as a WR ruins him as a returner. I think he should be on kick/punt returns only with a sprinkle of a special play here and there on offense.

I haven't seen enough of Randall Cobb to say he's as much of a dual or triple threat as I have with Percy Harvin. Harvin has speed Cobb just doesn't have.

But I guess I'm not gonna complain!

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53
Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before
beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season
beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder
