The more I think about the Amari trade the more I like it

[ESisback]

When Lamb, Brown, and Washington are our Week 1 starters I don't know if you'll be so enthused.

I believe Cooper will have a better season than any of our receivers this year.

Sounds like that’s your dream, to validate the endless crying.

You’re wrong!!!
When has Amari Cooper every played big in a big game? Almost never! He was to willing to sit on the sideline with the game on the line.

To win Super-bowls you need players who want to win badly! Amari never did.

I wouldn't have paid Gallup so much to stay. Honestly this team still doesn't get it with resigning players. You resign great players to large contracts not good players. Gallup is a good player, not great. Amari was a very good player, not great. Shultz is a good player, not great. I really hope they don't sign him to a long term deal. I would've had no problem letting them 2 walk. Shultz could be replaced with the pick we just made or McKeon. Tolbert is very comparable to Gallup and Cooper. Receivers are a dime a dozen as are tight ends. Now you get your hands or could get your hands on a TO or Moss or Gronk, or a game changer thats one thing but for the most part they could all be easily replaced. Besides Randy Moss the QB makes the receiver.

Cooper made Dak look good. Dallas does not have an elite quarterback. The qb is suppose to make the wide receivers look good like how Tony Romo did.

I think a lot of you are going to be surprised at just how much Cooper made everyone better.

Th early parts of 2018 weren’t pretty. I’m hoping we don’t repeat that ineptitude…

 

[baltcowboy]

With his injury history and before the big contracts, I would argue the contrary. He's a good number 2, huge difference between him and Cooper. 10% Catch to target rate between the 2 of them with Amari taking the best defender most of the time.

Cooper was making 20 million a year for the Cowboys, stats consistently declined each season, and had nagging injuries that kept him from practicing the last two seasons. Cooper is declining and the Cowboys should have moved on from him last season.

I think people are going to be surprised by how much a strong run game compliments the passing game.

 

[Silverstar]

We already has a pass happy play caller so taking a receiver from Moore could be beneficial to our overall production.

Baby Garrett, I mean Moore will still suck, but hopefully he sucks a little less every year.

This

 

[kskboys]

We shall find out soon enough.

Absolutely!!!

Right now, the signs are actually pointing toward that being the plan. We are drafting very tough and mean players instead of ballet dancers, and didn't make any stupid trades or big money signings for WRs or CBs. We'll find out a ton more next offseason when we release more cap sucking contracts.

Yup, most do not understand this at all. In simple terms, if the running game is being sparsely used, the opposing pass rushers don't have to worry about containment, they can just "pin back their ears and go all out". At present, we don't seem to have any plays predicated on slowing down the pass rush. This is one of the reasons why our OL often actually looks worse than it is, and is a huge reason why the pass rush is all too often in the QB's face right at the snap.

 

[kskboys]

Uhhh, hello? Cooper is the only good WR currently in Cleveland, so he's definitely going to get the majority of balls thrown to him. It's not that hard to figure out he will have a better statistical season.

IF he stays healthy. IF.

And if the run game is very good the defense is forced to bring more people to contain it leaving fewer to defend receivers.

I cannot for the life of me understand how Moore doesn't see/get this. Supposedly he's a real football brain. Sooooooooooo........... Mr. Moore? Think, dude.

Moore believe his own press releases about how big a football genius he is.
Frankly I have not been impressed. Better than Garret but that is a low bar.

 

[NotForLong]

Yup. Our “boy genius” OC refuses to use the weapons he has at his disposal. Is there an OC doing less with more than KM?

Pollard with 5 carries vs SF?! Seriously? Cooper disappearing from gameplans (though seen running wide open on tape lol) until he publicly complains?! Ridiculous.

The franchise is once again held hostage by JJ and SJ desperately clinging to the image that they are the “smartest football guys” in the NFL… they have touted KM as a genius, therefore he is one because letting him walk would mean the FO misevaluated a hire.

How come Kellen doesn't get credit for the #1 offense . . . I believe he must be some kind if Genius to do so

He had 865 yards for 20 million. Some fans are funny. They say they want to win, but not really when they're willing to keep that around. Good WR.. sure... way overvalued... you bet. Did they win with him here? A lot of Cowboy fans will see how he won't be missed at all.

Okay.

I don't want to see any "What's up with the offense?" posts from you when the season starts, okay?

Like the playoff game?

 

[NotForLong]

He is gone because he didn't practice, disappeared in cold weather, and wasn't a good leader.

And because He threw the blame at Dak's feet when Jerry tried to throw the WR corps. under the bus

 

[KJJ]

He is gone because he didn't practice, disappeared in cold weather, and wasn't a good leader.

You couldn’t be more wrong! It mostly came down to money and he missed a game because of an illness that irked Jerry. We also didn’t utilize him enough because of the talent we had at receiver. If he stays healthy in 2022 and Deshaun Watson can return to form he’ll put up 1200+ with double digit TDs. His numbers will end up better than any of the receivers we have.

Rolling up 50 burgers and gaudy stats vs questionable opponents is not impressive. If he is a genius— why is he still an OC? Most hot OCs get nabbed up quick— why is he coming back to Dallas?

I’ll tell you why. His “bag” was empty by about week 8. His creativity disappeared. He forgets the run game. He limits his own effectiveness by allowing opponents to dictate matchups. Other teams can figure out how to get their #1 targets the ball— but in Dallas? Nah. It’s “take what the defense give you” crap.

We need an OC with some balls that says “we will take what we want— when we want— and there ain’t nuthin you or anybody else can do about it”
