Well, here we go.....

If this is a typical Cowboy season then the starting WR's for game #1 against the Bucs will probably be Noah Brown, Cedric Wilson and T.J. Vasher.

I'm probably overreacting, right?.......................right?

Don't be sleeping on Aaron Parker. He has been looking good at the OTAs.

dak had ankle surgery 3 months in front of amari....dak is full go now....hence in 3 months at season start amari should be full go...

Cooper just might have to use his ankles a little differently than Dak.

This is exactly why I said months ago you don't trade Gallup.

You let Gallup and Cooper play this year before deciding what to do because you never know if Cooper is going to stay healthy.

:clap:You beat me to it..........no way in hell I'm letting Gallup walk UNLESS he wants top 10 money. It seems Coop always has some nagging injury but to his credit he never misses games. Kinda like Julio Jones in that way......

This isn’t really new news, he’s been not practicing in camp in recovery of his offseason surgery. It’s not like it’s a new injury.

I already posted the stats a few times so I will summarize here. Cooper is the 4th highest paid WR in the NFL. He was 2nd when he got his contract from Dallas. But look at his career record of games. He has 6, 7 or 8 games every year where he catches less than 50 yards in passes. That's about twice as many as the other top receivers in the league. Again, this isn't a question of whether Cooper is great or he sucks, the question is, is he great or just good? because he gets paid great money.

Exactly. And paying good players great money continues to prevent this team from optimizing all of their resources.
I've said many times, it's the letter C curse.
Culture, Coaching and Contracts cause Cowboys Cancer.

Cooper has been healthy his entire time here in Dallas. Not sure where you’re coming from.

Cooper has played with injuries in many games for the Cowboys.

You are mistakenly associating "on the field" with "healthy".

Just like now, if the Cowboys had a real game this weekend, Cooper would be playing, yet he's not healthy.
Well if not healthy and catching 92 passes with the likes of Dalton, DiNucci and Gilbert then I’ll take it. Seriously, you guys are just nuts.

Stay healthy? He’s not like Tyron.

I have pointed out Tyron's health issues many times, but I have no idea why you bring him in up when talking about wide receivers.
No idea? You said you’re concerned about Cooper “staying healthy”. The guy you need to worry about staying healthy is Tyron, not Cooper who doesn’t have the injury history that Tyron has.
