who was better Cooper or Dez ?
who was better Cooper or Dez ?
cherry picking the seasons he didnt lead wont help.
What year is this?Cooper leads the league in drops , and has for several seasons .
Advantage: Jones
Yea, showing the past two seasons his ranking in dropped passes is cherry picking.
I would shown more but most sites only show 2018 and 19.
The only time he led the league in drops was his rookie year, with 18 in 2015.
What you were possibly thinking of was drop rate, which was 4th over the span of 2015 to 2017(3 seasons). Led the league in 15 and 17 in drop rate %.
Since joining the Cowboys, he has not had that bad case of drops compared to his Raider days.
agreed 100%.Personally, considering free agency and the draft, I think Cooper is much easier to replace and be successful right away than is Jones. The main reason CBs are more valued than WRs in the draft, etc. is because they are more difficult to find.
In Dallas we are always trying to recreate the 90s and we love to uses phrases like the triplets and then we cry about our defense all year and blame our franchise QBs lack of ability to carry the team on things like defense after we over pay them..
It’s just what we do here.
We didn’t learn our lesson after Romo’s contract and Daks contract will be no different.
This.
Cooper has proven he can be a difference-maker. Jones has not.
Anyway, until FA begins, no one knows if Jones is affordable, or not. Maybe everyone else believes the price would be too high for a CB with no playmaking skills.
In the old offense, Cooper had proven he can change the outcome of a game. Let's see what he can do in MM's offense. Sign him first after Dak. Take a chance the market does not price the Cowboys out of contention for Jones, and Quinn, as well.
For 2019:

Tied for 19th in drops per NBC with 4.

34th per Foxsports with 5.

Tied at 18th in 2018 per Foxsports with 6.
Based off what? How do you know Jones isn't one of the main reasons our defense has been ranked top 10-15 the past couple seasons? With Cooper we went 10-6 and 8-8, and it certainly wasn't our defense being the reason we lost many games.
Really? You want film?
Edit: Oh, and last year...everyone sucked except for L.P.. Everyone gets a reluctant pass, including Cooper.
