    Can we just go ahead and classify Cook as a WR and be done with it? Did anyone see him get CJ and KFC killed against the Colts because he couldn't block a nickelback one-on-one?

    Just put Cook in the slot with D-Will on the outside with Britt and go from there.

    Not I, my friend. I am opposed to most of the free agents most people rave about bringing in. But bringing in a Veteran guy to teach Jared Cook how to play the position could only help in his development.

    Cook is a better receiver and Stevens is a better blocker. So why are we even discussing this?

    And what is so damn special about 41 catches on a team that threw the ball 661 times? Nothing that is what. Scaife might have had more.

    For those who watched Palmer's press conference he is really high on Cook and wants to use him a lot this year. To paraphrase he wants to get his arms around that Cook guy.

    What development? Cook is entering his 3rd season. We used a 2nd rd pick to get him. Development time is over, he needs to play!

    I have always liked Shockey, i know a lot of people don't care for him. If we can get him for cheap, then I say go for it. If nothing else he could help teach our current TE's, and contribute some catches also.

    With Scaife on his way out, we're set to need another TE. Jimmy Graham is the real reason Jeremy Shockey is available to sign. It's not as if Shockey sucks right now, he's still a good player, just too expensive to be a number two TE. But being that Chris Palmer wants Cook to come on more in 2011, I doubt we chase a guy like Shockey. I wouldn't be mad if we ended up with him.

    Because we only have 2 on our roster and we always have at least 3. If Cook or Stevens goes down who steps up and takes their place?

    You can still play and continue to develop. You never can learn enough tricks of trade at your position. You can always get better.

    Wish I could high five. We've got a great blocking TE who can catch as well and an elite caliber receiving TE who can work on his blocking skills. 2 TE sets with those guys can create a lot of problems for defenses if used correctly.
