Or does Higbee look like the real deal.
I hated the Cook signing - hated it.
Anybody remember when we signed him, the "only" vid clip shown in conjunction was that TD catch wit the Titans. That's because it was pretty much the only decent play he ever had. And, IIRC, he wanted to be tagged as a WR. What a fucking joke.

What's even worse, and I gotta' say I feel a little bit sorry for Foles, (not a lot) is I believe they designed a lot of the offense geared toward Cook.

Anyway, Higbee just "looks" like a good receiver to me. Hope he stays healthy, and that he doesn't have issues - which I don't think he does.

I'm excited for our TE future in general. But Yes, Higbee will be our Gronk. I'm not saying he'll be as good, but close. :sneaky:

Then, Kendricks will have a revival of sorts, and eventually, maybe Hemmingway takes over in 2018.

I liked Higbee before the draft. The assault incident scared me off at first. It sounded a bit racist. But, it is difficult to know what is true and what is embellished. I think he was a good pick and should help move the offense forward.

Hands, hands, and more hands all across the board were drafted in this year's group. And yes, size and athleticism on the part of some of them as well.

Higbee is just a straight freak. I don't know if he'll be able to behave off the field. But man, the guy has that talent you want on the field. He has that ability to impact games that we need.

But again... Just watch how well all these guys snatch the ball out of the air. Cook gave us one thing: a staff that is sick to F of dudes droppin balls.

I worry about his availability. He is already missing sessions in shorts. Did not played a full season in last three years of college (I am not talking one or two games). I will have to see it to believe his availability gets better in the pros.

I didn't want to mention this but since VegasRam has -- I had a dream where I was at a Ram game and Higbee was catching everything he own his way. It was a beautiful dream, this idea that we can punish the opposition with a sure handed Higbee I just hope is a dream come true

He definitely looks like a solid weapon for Goff to have... a TE can be a QB's best friend (especially a young QB).

Higs sure looks the part.

It would be nice to have a TE line up off the line to add a wrinkle for defenses to worry about because the guy can catch and has a large catching radius to boot.

From what I've read and seen, I see little doubt that if he stays on the field (whether injury or other wise), he will produce, and might produce big time...
