I truly believe he’s the game changer. Prescott absolutely trust him. The perfect route runner. We’re not the same team on offense without him. Prescott and Amari stay healthy , This team win the whole thing

I agree, that is Dak main go to guy. We are seeing more and more trust with Lamb which is great but I do think Dak and Cooper combo is very good

No saying your wrong, but if 1 wr dictates weather the offense is good or bad...there's something very wrong with the other players.

The QB usually dictates how the offense goes. However a QB does need a dependable wide receiver they trust. Cooper made a huge difference in our offense when we traded for him in 2017. Acquiring him helped turn that season around. He gave Dak that weapon he needed. The root of our offensive struggles is our OL.

If your QB can't produce with Lamb, Gallup, Wilson, Schultz and our running backs then you need a new QB.

Our QB does produce with those players which is why we’ve had the number one offense and our QB has been in the MVP conversation. If you think we could do better with another QB you’re kidding yourself! Our QB isn’t the problem. Our OL and lack of running game is the problem. How anyone can have the kind of hatred you have for Dak is beyond me.

But yet Gallup makes those plays..
Gallup had his big chance to make a difference when both Cooper and Lamb were out. Although he did do well in that game, he was not a game changer. Happy to have him as #3 and would be okay with him as a #2, but as a #1 he is just okay, not special. Cooper is a true #1 and a very good #1 at that IMO. Lamb is becoming that though still not as good as Cooper yet as has been shown when he had to be #1 with Cooper out as well.

Agreed. It would be interesting to see what Dak's stats look like with Cooper and sans Cooper.

Coop is the one guy that can consistently beat press-man with his route-running ability - best in the NFL.

Fans may swoon over Gallup's acrobatics, but Coop is the guy that defensive coordinators plan to stop first, this opens things up for Gallup, Ceedee, Schultz, etc. Even the running game to an extent.

The nice thing about Coop is that for a true WR#1 he is a humble guy. When he is being doubled, he doesn't berate the QB until he finally forces it into him.

Just watch, with Coop hopefully 100% on Sunday, suddenly the whole offense will run better.

Dak needs Cooper. But the reason is that Cooper gets so much separation that Dak can get him the ball without having to throw it in to tight spaces or be consistently accurate.

I think the evidence is clear, prior to Cooper's arrival, pass offense was very poor, when he missed 2 games, same could be said. Both Lamb/Gallup are good, but Cooper is the key receiver for our offense.

Gallup is a poor man's prime-Dez, Lamb is a guy and Cooper is arguably the most quarterback-friendly WR in the league along with Keenan Allen of the Chargers.

Lamb/Gallup are real good, but Cooper is perhaps the best route runner in the league, where teams shy away in man coverage against him.

Cooper Rush throws for 330 yards and 2 TDs and leads the team to a win in a tough road game when Dak misses.

When Cooper misses we can't do anything on offense and we lose.

I think that settles it.

How would the defense look like if Parsons missed a game?

Oh wait- we saw that last year

Gallup and Wilson look way better when they are against 3rd or 4th corners. Lamb is certainly fine at 1 but he's deadly when we play him from the slot.
