Bennett has had some drops, he hasn't been that bad and he's not killing us on cap either. If he wants to retire, he can retire at the end of the year. I took a week off of everything last week, except here. No sports radio on the way to work or home. First thing I turn it on wed of this week and they're talking about this and I swear this notion that GB has the smartest fans has got to be some sort of joke after listening for those 5 minutes.
First caller out of the blocks, "should have kept Cook, hes younger and catches better, cheaper, just better all the way around. What the hell was Ted thinking" paraphrased. Next caller, Cook was younger cheaper and wanted to stay here. Next Caller, Bennett is a bum, should have kept cook on and on, well I guess I don't know if it went on and on. I couldn't take it anymore.
They're the same age. They have practically the same stats. Cook has 1 more game so far. They both have missed time with their great QB's. They both have strengths and weaknesses in their game. If indeed Marty has checked out and quits on the season, well that's on him and I'll far less respect for him than I used to. But man, go back and look at the reaction when he was signed. Everywhere. Here, other teams boards, other sports articles, PFF articles. It's almost unanimous in the praise of the upgrade at TE.
Sometimes these things don't work people. Evans has been a great under appreciated FA pick up this year at guard. Brooks has been a disappointment so far too. Concussion, out. Bad back, out. I think i've seen him make a play in 1 game so far. Maybe Bennett is the Randy Moss of TE's, great when things are great and packs it in when things get tough. It's just funny that since we never signed Moss those same people that are now so pissed at the Bennett signing will still hold not getting Moss against this organization. and they say we have the smartest fans. They don't even know that 30=30 LOL
