martellus Bennet

They could draft Carlos Henderson as a blazer and this would be the most potent Packer offense ever.

How do you figure? they don't even have a full time guy at Rb man haha. Now if they managed to sign Adrian Peterson??

 

[King of Jeans]

people complaining about this deal are being ridiculous. we signed a great tight end. cook played like 8 games for this team, and showed up in 4 of them. why are you all acting like he's some franchise player?

 

[King of Jeans]

is cook a better player? maybe. but that doesn't change the fact that we still signed a great player.

"5 wide and burn rubber"

Score Score Score baby

 

[C-Lee]

LOL at anyone being mad at this signing. He will have 10+ TDs this year if he stays healthy. Our red zone offense will be unbelievable.

 

[PackerFanLV]

Politics sucks lol, but Bennet knows the division well and hes one hell of a blocker.

Again score score score means the Packers still lose 28-21 because the defense can't stop people from scoring more Haha. I mean as of now this is the same defense that got lit up by Kurt Cousins, Blake Bortels, A rookie in Dak Prescott (twice) Marcus Mariotta, and Sam Bradford. I mean seriously they need to score 40 a game.

People forgot about the play off game when we played the cards when Kurt warner was lighting us up. We need clock management and defense.

Peterson? Doubt he has anything left. He looked ineffective before his last injury. But then again, I doubted him before.

 

[adambr2]

I disagree! Bennett is not a game changing TE, but Cook is and has more downfield talent. Bennett played in Dallas, Chicago, & NE and wasn't a difference maker at all like Cook was for us this past season. He opened up more on the outside because of his threat down the middle. Away, only time will tell if he works out to be a better TE in our system. As of right now he is just Bubba Franks Big.

I'm very serious. Cook is a far better talent than Bennett. You think Bennett could make that catch against Dallas? Like I said, at least Bennett has proven he can stay healthy but this is a lateral move at best. Teddy is supposed to be adding pieces, not replacing them. They're no closer to a Super Bowl than they were two days ago.

I dunno, could Cook make this one?

You must be logged in to see this image or video!

They're really good athletes. They make great plays. Could Martellus tiptoe the sidelines on a catch? I'm sure he has.

Guess you all owe TT an apology

Not all of us.

I agree we need to improve on defense. But we will be better next year without any moves. A lot of youth on the roster. Our S, NT, ILB (2), CB (4), all had less than 3 years experience. Plus, this is a deep draft for CB and OLBs. We should be able to get some more talent there.

 

[HardRightEdge]

Does this mean we are not going to resign Cook? Or do we want a double TE threat? Hmmmm.

LOL. Only if Thompson / McCarthy are channeling Belichick. I don't think so. Bill's probably going back to WR-centric on the cheap anyway. Kinda did already with Gronkowski down.

 

[Packer Fan in SD]

Good signing. Just got home from work to see this and was very surprised.

I admire your optimism is the face of the facts.

I agree - when has Bennett made the Pro Bowl? NE winning the Championship was more about the WRs whereas GBs WRs couldn't get any separation until Cook was on the field. Anyway, time will tell but until Bennett plays like a game changing TE GB didn't get any better & yes he's played with much better QBs in his career then Cook has so his numbers should be much much better overall.

He just traded for Brandon Cooks

We can all argue back and forth who's a better player, but one thing that can't be argued is replacing Cook with Bennett doesn't get this team any closer to a Super Bowl.

Exactly. The team is actually worse than it was. On BOTH sides of the ball.

 

[brandon2348]

There two different style of players. Bennett is more like a Jermichael Finely right before he got hurt which I absolutely "love"

 

[RRyder]

Well if Bennett is the better player then it does. Its just a matter of how much.

As for arguing about who's better there's not a single metric I can think of which would make Cook the better player at this point in time.

Route Running: Bennett

Hands: Bennett by a mile

Red zone threat: Bennett

Blocking: Bennett

Health: Bennett

Production: Bennett (last year with Rodgers as his QB Cook wasn't as good as Bennett even when healthy)

Not that Cooks bad but Bennett is pretty literally better at everything

 

[Dantés]

Bennett is better than Cook at basically everything. There's a reason he was universally regarded as the top FA tight end. Some of you will find a reason to complain about anything this FO does. You'd rather just slam TT regardless of the move because that's your agenda. There's no interest in actually assessing the team in any way that's remotely objective. It's cute. A little annoying, but cute. You're basically homers, just in the negative.

 

[Sunshine885500]

Where

There two different style of players. Bennett is more like a Jermichael Finely right before he got hurt which I absolutely "love"

Where was all this explosion and production in Dallas? in Chicago? If he was that good then why hasn't he ever been able to be the main TE on the teams he's played on? Why has he always been only the 2nd best TE on his teams in Dallas & NE?

 

[Zartan]

This was a great sign as it fills a hole as Cook was probably going to walk. Rome was not built in a day. This was a step in the right direction.
