He only signed with Dallas for 1 year, MM was the coach the following year. He had a solid season with the Cowboys but signed with The Texans because he wanted to play with Watson.
I’d be ecstatic if he APPROACHES the numbers he put up in Dallas. One other nagging question I’m having is how much is Rodgers going to try to force it to him? (if he’s healthy and on the field). Question remains is the answer really a 31 yo WR who hasn’t done anything special in 6 years and has trouble staying healthy. I would LOVE for it to work out, it’s just not passing the sniff test to me.
Are you thinking fans expect a huge year out of Cobb and basing your sniff test on that? While I don't expect a big year , I also would say what he did in Dallas isn't out of the question.
That's a point. I am more concerned about him just not being very good. But being on the field.
You listed 8 of them.
How does merely naming 8 WRs and actually mentioning there are more mean I said we would keep 8. We have more of a chance of Janis lacing them up than us keeping 8 WRs on the active roster.
But Lord Aaron hated him and that's all that matters anymore, right?
It's an assumption that he let them spiral so he could enjoy it.
Never said I didn't believe any of it or none of it. I 100% will never be convinced it was the mature or right thing to do just being silent while fires were lit the entire off season.
I tend to agree with both of you in part, but I disagree with the notion that Rodgers shouldn't have at least stepped in and squelched things before they got out of hand. I understand why he didn't, he was (still is) very angry with the front office and he was willing to just let the fires keep burning and when he could, he even tossed some more gasoline on it. My disappointment with Rodgers revolves around that and the fact that The Green Bay Packers paid him a boatload of money, still had him under contract for 3 years and when he was treated (the same as they treat all players) in a way he wasn't happy with, he pulls the pouty kid act.
Hi X. Just getting around to this thread. For a smart guy, Rodgers has made some dumb moves in his return. He said he wanted to be involved in a vague number of decisions. Then he insists Cobb come back and so maybe he just means personnel decisions, and just on the offense. But Randal Cobb is not Gronk. It's easy now for Packerland to look at Rodgers and say - "You wanted to be involved. Gluten said yes. Based on your incredible genius, and that you've been given what you wanted, I have no doubt Cobb will gain 1,000 yards on 10 TDs and the team will cruise to it's fifth SB win."
Report: Aaron Rodgers return to Packers hinges on a trade for Randall Cobb
Aaron Rodgers apparently is trying to pull a Tom Brady. Sort of.

Aaron Rodgers apparently is trying to pull a Tom Brady. Sort of.
Trey Wingo reports (or at least he says he’s “hearing”) that the return of Aaron Rodgers to the Packers is “hinging on trading for former teammate Randall Cobb.” Says Wingo, “If Cobb is in Green Bay it looks like Rodgers will be too.”
On one level, it feels like a test. Does Aaron Rodgers have the juice to get the Packers to trade for a former teammate? On the other level, it’s Randall Cobb. All due respect, but Randall Cobb isn’t Gronk or Antonio Brown. As Josh Alper pointed out, Rodgers hinging his return on the return of Randall Cobb (who currently plays for the Texans) makes about as much sense as Rodgers demanding a Cobb salad for lunch every day.
Either way that’s what Wingo is reporting. Or hearing. Or whatever.
