Twitter: Amari Cooper is underrated

[Rockport]

I agree

Great thread, bro.

 

[Zekeats]

Rated right where he should be. Was completely shutdown by Gilmore

 

[CouchCoach]

Not by me he isn't. I not only like him as a WR but his demeanor is refreshing, he's a "just do your job" player.

Great thread, bro.

Don’t worry, it’ll turn into a hate fest here shortly. By the way, the QB throwing him the ball is pretty awesome.

If we unite I think we can fend off the haters.

He just keeps hitting it out the park.

He doesn't have any dog in him. When things get tough he shrinks to the background. Tremendous physical talent but the whole is less than the sum of his parts. He's the anti-Irvin.

He had 92 receptions for 1114 last year with the likes of Ninucci and company. That’s the opposite of shrinking. Sure, he’s not the leader that Irvin was but there’s more than one way to lead.

What Risen was referring to was in certain situations when Cooper needs to elevate his game he has not been able to do it.

Overall the season on the whole he has delivered, but in the "big" game, he has not.

Can't wait to see a healthy OL and Dak and our 3 WR's, as well a healthy Zeke in action.
Yes, Zeke fought through 2 different injuries last season.

I agree

I don't think he's underrated. I think he has some ongoing health issues with his lower body that keep him from always being the player we see on some plays and in some games. A healthy Cooper is about as hard to cover as anyone in the league. When his lower-body issues are a problem, it takes away from that speed and route-running ability that put him in that upper echelon.

Remember that the Raiders chose to trade him away, which you generally don't do with highly rated players (although they also traded Khalil Mack, so part of it was the Raiders going full rebuilding mode). However, here's the key IMO to why they traded Cooper. Gruden said during the offseason: “That’s been one of our number one objectives is to make number 89 the main vein of our pass offense. If Coop can get healthy and stay healthy, we expect big things from him. He’s gonna be the main target I think in a lot of our passes.”

It is strange the timing of Amari arriving in dallas, and dak becoming one of the top qb's in passing

Great thread, bro.

We have the best players in the NFL and they're all underrated...booyah!

 

[morasp]

He absolutely commands the attention of opposing defenses.

 

[Hadenough]

I like Amari and think he is a great player. But he will never be your lead dog going into a war. He lacks leadership and toughness! Kinda reminds me of the Cowboys team. Full of potential but never seems to get there.

 

[GMO415]

Lot of broken ankles out there. Hahaha

 

[charron]

Love his route running and well pretty much has no holes in his game on the field. He's not the vocal leader/ heart of the team but few are.

 

[Vtwin]

Great receiver. Love watching him play. Does seem to drop off more than most, in the bad weather games. Still has a little something to prove, to me.
