Don't really understand the obsession over Cobb. He's 31 and really hasn't been a "special player" in several years.
What's the big deal?
Every WR is special w/ AR under center. And his numbers vs. the Bears aren't too bad, either.
Between 2011 and 2018, he's faced us 15 times and scored 9 TDs. AR and Cobb get along pretty well, so I think it was a smart move by GB to bring him back.

Cobb was fantastic back then but he hasn't been like that last few seasons and is now 31.
Last season he only played 10 games (injured 2 of last 3 years) and had 441 yards. Stats you are citing are OLD NEWS.

This just makes AR feel important. Cobb? I don't see much happening here though I have heard he would be a great 3rd down slot receiver. I feel thi is grasping at straws and ultimately show AR has a bad taste for talent.

Did you see Rodgers press conference?
I'll give him major props for bluntness and honesty (rare for sports) but yeesh some of the specific players he complained about were awful examples.
Randall Cobb is nothing more than a WR4 at this point. Jake Kumerow? Guy is a practice squad/fringe roster player only. Julius Peppers? Can't be serious here! Great player in his prime but completely washed up by the time GB moved on from him.
Kinda felt like Rodgers wants control over who they draft, who they sign, and who they keep and he wants "his friends" rather than making sound judgments.

Ya really odd I thought. It was like he wanted a redo of hi old team 6 years ago, lost track of time lol.
My Wife looked at him and was in shock. She thought and rightly so, AR did not look too good. Perhaps being married to a younger gal and being in the honeymoon phase can do that hahah.

With the new contract he just signed, Green Bay is now ~$50-million dollars over the cap next season. $50-mil. That's good for the Bears though. Basically, GB has a total clown show now as the team moves forward. Rodgers is the ringmaster in Green Bay now. It's his franchise. Honestly, in hindsight, it would have been better for Green Bay to have moved on from Rodgers. The guy has crazy talent, and, well, mentally he seems to be off-the-rails now. I mean, really pretty nuts. Has a "crazy look" in his eyes too. Dude doesn't look "right" at all.

No question Rodgers was given a lot more control. He made that clear in his press conference when he threw management under the bus.
I agree with you that this looks like a short-term win for GB (make a run this year with Rodgers back in the fold) but a long-term loser. It sounds like Rodgers wants "his guys" only and the personnel choices he mentioned weren't exactly confidence-inspiring. Don't think he will be nearly as good a draft scout or GM as he is a QB.
Which leads me back to what I was talking about a couple months ago with this situation--Rodgers this offseason was at MAX TRADE VALUE. Green Bay could have gotten multiple FRPs and multiple players for him. For instance, in a trade with Denver, could have gotten Surtain, Chubb, plus multiple FRPs. GB denied they ever were interested in trading him but you know behind the scenes they weighed the possible pros and cons seriously.
The conclusion I reach from the final decision THEY reached is the same one that Hoge & Jahns just mentioned in a recent podcast----this points to Jordan Love really really really sucking bad.
I gotta believe that, if they were truly excited about Jordan Love going forward, Rodgers probably would have been traded.

What a dumb and arrogant thing to say. Can you imagine Brady, Manning or Favre saying anything like this? Trashing the city that loves you and then making it about you (again). I'm sorry, but this right there is why he's never going to be a leader.

You ever been to goon bay? He's not wrong about that, but, that is definitely NOT something you say if that's your town, your team, your fans. It's always been all about him, and his stats. Nothing else.
