That's where I am. I don't have a hate ***** for Knox. He's had some really nice moments. He was the best TE on the team last year.
But honestly, I think we've seen his peak and we are a long way from that.
If the argument is that we need Knox for his blocking, Hawes is already better than him and I salivate at the idea of Kromer with him for a few years. If the argument is that Knox is the better receiver I'd agree but that he's both got a bad case of the dropsies and that while Hawes is absolutely not a natural receiver he's at least catching the ball when it goes his way.
I'm in no rush to kick Knox out the door, and yes please I would enjoy more 3TE sets thank you very much. But if we are trying to crunch the cap to keep McGovern right now it's no contest for me for him over Knox.
And I'm going to say it: two weeks in the rookie on the team making the most impact is Jackson Hawes.
