WR Amari Cooper through 16 games: 98 catches for 1408 yards and 12 TDs

Lol at all the posters thinking Coop is not a flat out stud. Best route runner I’ve seen in forever. The dude was open on almost every play against GB.

 

[erod]

What’s the bet? how about posting privileges on this site. If he is a cowboy next you can never post again, if he isn’t then I’ll never post again.

Why? I don't want you to stop posting here whether you're right or wrong. I guess you want me gone. LOL

Being open means nothing when you're also helping to cause INTs. Also, watch more football - Antonio Brown was hands down the best route runner in the league for nearly a decade and still would be if he had his head on straight. While Brown was dominating, Cooper was dropping balls and ghosting.

He's really good, but he wants an OBJ type of deal. Rarely do those work out well for teams with receivers.

Name 1 team in the NFL that has a QB that's more dependent on having a #2 WR that's almost always open.

Brown is 5’9”.

 

[mattjames2010]

Brown is 5’9”.

He's 5'10 and closer to 5'11. But not entirely sure why this matters. Brown is also better with jump balls and contested catches, while Amari is a 6'1 guy who needs space and isn't winning many contested battles or jump ball battles.

Don't look now but we seem to have our best WR since Michael Irvin! What a trade that turned out to be.

dak cant cet him the ball!!!!!


lol

 

[HanD]

Literally couldn't care less unless it translates into wins.

we were 3-5 last year without him. we've won way more with him here. mission accomplished....

 

[WillieBeamen]

Come on man. lol. Cooper is far better then peak Dez. And I am a huge Dez fan. Our coaching staff failed to use him the way they should have. He ran very few slants which was a great route for him. Comparing him to Amari though is not right. Amari's short area quickness and route running is not human.

Come on what?


You have a short-memory. Dez was a beast. Amari cant and hasnt made half of the spectacular plays Dez has made.

Show me a play that Cooper has made on the par of these





They both have 200yard receiving games

Both have 2-3Td games

Cooper doesnt make those type of plays. Him trying to high point that pass in New Orleans was embarassing. And i am a Coop fan

[baltcowboy]

63 yds? Something like that

Romo was smart he stayed away from Sherman.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Funny to say this considering Dez's only all-pro season was near identical stats to Coopers first 16 games here........ (lol at "nowhere close" even though its the exact same stats)

Lol this is what we doing now? We combining two different seasons?

Dez last 8 games in 2012 and first 8 games of 2013

95 catches
1520 yards
18 Tds

Amari16 games here
98 catches
1407 yards
12 Tds

6 TDs isnt the “exact same stats” and its another reason why Dez >> Amari. Way better red zone threat

 

[darthseinfeld]

Wrong. No stats and losing a game.

Its funny are talking about stats not translating to wins. Did they forgot what we were without Cooper

 

[Tussinman]

Well when you get signed half way through the season, yeah that is what where doing (what other metric would we have ?). I guess we could wait till this full season is over but I don't think that will change much, he's on pace for a another great season.

Im more critical of Dez than I am of Cooper. But Dez in his prime was a definite top 5 WR. Probably top 2. Cooper isnt that yet

 

[cowboyblue22]

cooper is not going to be worth the contract he isgoing to want drops to many balls at crucial times in games

 

[Tussinman]

Cooper is a better all-around receiver. His route-running and short-area quickness are probably why he's #2 in the NFL in receiving this year.

Cooper on his rookie deal alone will have more 1000 yard seasons and more pro bowls then Dez's entire career......

The only argument for Dez is Dez had a slightly higher upside for the 2 peak years but that's really about it.

This is like trying to say Chris Johnson is better than Frank Gore because Chris has 2 higher upside years but in doing so ignoring that Frank Gore did 90% of Chris's peak for much much longer.

Alot the Dez overrating reminds me of the highschool kids that play madden and are obsessed with "flashy" play and big mouths

 

[Shane612]

Gallup is more of a #1, Cooper is more of a #2, Cobb is a great slot receiver. Only thing we're missing is that field-stretching TE, might be Jar-WIN eventually.

I guess on THIS team Cooper, or Gallup, is 1a and 1b.
But I still don't think they're true #1s.

When think of #1, I'm thinking of players like Michael Irvin, Drew Pearson and Terrell Owens (minus the drama). I loved Michael because of his off the chart passion. He had only adequate speed, but he'd beat up the opposing secondary to get to the ball.
The only two other players I would take over Michael Irvin would be Jerry Rice and Randy Moss.....not by much, tho.

You wanna look at the replay from this past weekend when he spins off a tackle into the endzone? lol
