Twitter: Amari Cooper is underrated

[Brax]

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 he did to save Dak's career showed up last year with the scrubs throwing the ball, Dak should give him half his pay.

People expecting 100 yards every game are silly. More often than not Coop produces. The no dawg narrative is stupid.

How is he underrated? The Cowboys gave up a 1st round draft pick to get him. Then they paid him $20 million a year which is right up there with the top receivers in the league.

Throughout his career he has disappeared for almost half the games he has played. Since he came into the league, Cooper has 42 games where he caught passes for less than 50 yards. That's 45% of his games. Over the same period, Davante Adams has had 28 games of less than 50 yards and DeAndre Hopkins has had 18. Michael Thomas has only 14 but in 1 fewer years.

Amari Cooper is the top receiver on the Cowboys so far. I won't argue that. He is an excellent route runner and has decent hands. But he gets paid the 4th highest salary in the league for a WR, and he was actually 2nd I believe when he got paid by the Cowboys. He is a good guy by all accounts, and he took less money to be with the Cowboys. That's all good stuff. But I don't know how you overlook the games when he, for whatever reason, does not pull a fair share for a guy earning top $.

I don't see how anyone can claim he is underrated.

What's next, a highlight reel of Demarcus Lawrence's 5.5 sacks with the headlines, "Underrated!"?

I agree

ok, you want to get this post to go 10 pages...I haven't even read all the responses yet. all I have to say is:

Dak......

What he did to save Dak's career showed up last year with the scrubs throwing the ball, Dak should give him half his pay.

he had 400 yards in the first 4 games. 700 in the last 12....that's averaging 100 yards for first 4 games and then averaged 58... see the difference?

Amari is definitely underrated. People act like he isn't even top 10.

I guess you missed how great Cooper was prior to coming to Dallas......nevermind his best games last season came with Dak at QB lol....

 

[stilltheguru]

Great players don’t have ifs

Lol a wr cant dominate without a good gameplan and oline time. But I'm not going to go back and forth about Coop. He's top 10 or higher imo.

 

[BigStar]

When you make 20M a year, don't think you can say you're underrated. Like Coop personally though.

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

See post #5

 

[blueblood70]

Actually, he did. All WR’s do.

nt in the same way, no he didnt..sure he had off games but AC sometimes i wonder if hes in the lineup. The end of 2019 he and dak both went MIA when we rally needed them,..

IF MI was told he was included on late game plays he would have pulled out the wr in his place and go in anyway..ac is quiet and unassuming and just really goes with whatever,.sometimes doesnt look like he interested in doin more..

 

[AsthmaField]

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

… in a hurricane where the score for the entire game was 13-9.

Two of those games were against some of the worst defenses in the NFL - Atlanta and Seattle. Don’t remember how many yards he put up against those two playing likely prevent defenses up so big early.

Who at this place is calling Cooper underrated? Some people call him overpaid but I don’t recall anyone saying he is underrated.

One can’t be called underrated if one is making $20M per year.

Yeah, yeah, we know this is just my opinion.

 

[Whyjerry]

How many years playoff wins has Amari been associated with? Just curious.

 

[CowboyRoy]

I agree

What about him is underrated? He is also getting paid 22 million per year. I dont think he is underrated at all.

There’s posts in this thread crapping on Cooper. And his salary has nothing to do with being underrated.

If you are curious, then look it up yourself.

Just read some of the posts in this thread that are crapping on him.
