This list surprises me. Burleson was a big fan of Cooper last season and he even did a segment on Good Morning Football where he showed us why Cooper is such "a beast".

Adams is more of a slot guy to me and JuJu isn't established enough to keep Cooper off this list.

You can be a big fan of a player and not believe that player is top 10 in the league.

Didn't everyone love Bill Bates? How about Marion Barber? Right now, I'm a fan of Jeff Heath, and he isn't close to top 10. (Wish he wasn't starting!!!). I'm also a big fan of Gallup, and he's not close to to top 10. (Yet!!!)

Not even remotely close.

lol bruh. I don’t know what you’re reading but you should go back and look. There was one post that said amari over juju, devante and Keenan Allen. That’s not crazy or homerish. The rest were discussing the order of the list as is, debating jujus merits and talking about amari wanting top 3 money while not being top three (or ten as it were)

you jumped the gun

Hey QCE
I just checked page one and it looks like almost everyone agrees with 90% of that list.
Some would swap out Juju for various players. That’s about it

Lol exactly. It was the most diplomatic I’ve seen this board handle a list that didn’t include a cowboy

The 5th reply says Cooper over Juju, Adams, and Allen.
Then someone replies to him and adds on Tyreke as well.

Is reading really that hard guys?

But Cooper is only one guy.
That means regardless of the one guy he replaces, they agreed on 9 out of 10 on the list.
Thats all we’re saying.

That's 4 of the 10 listed, that they'd but Cooper over.

They didn't say that their top 10 included all of those guys, they didnt give their top 10s.

But yes, now you can see the homerism displayed, hopefully.

I think Amari will be high on that list by the time this season is in the books.

Last year was somewhat incomplete for him, due to his late start in Dallas.

If this year is one that's fair to both himself and Dak, his rating should rise.

Already addressed that directly. That’s why there’s qualifiers like “most”. As in except for this example.

All good

That’s the funny thing about lists. Like if you call Amari or someone a top ten talent or just say you feel like he’s a top ten receiver it’s not very controversial. When you actually have to draw it out though it gets more difficult.

I have basically Hopkins, Julio, Odell and AB in their own tier completely. Then there’s about ten other guys jockeying for position beneath them. Amari is somewhere in that second list

Lists can be subjective. So there is argument to be made that both Amari and Dak are top 15 talent at respective positions.

But it is indisputable that Zeke is top 3, if not THE best at his position.

Pay your best player first.

I feel bad but the post actually isn’t good
The main reason nba does not is because of the Max contract thing. Players know what they can make. All the other stuff in the post is bottom 10 percent.

Me too, except there's more like 20 in that next tier. Where do you put topnotch slot WR's like Edelmann and Landry and Diggs? What do you do w/ Kupp, who can't stay on the field? Brandin Cooks was a beast for the Rams last season(80/1,204), but no one talks about him because NE dumped him. Does anyone even know who Tyler Boyd is? How about Calvin Ridley? Beasted for a rook. Golladay in DET is another stud that no one knows of because of where he plays. Did anyone even mention Woods? Is DJ Moore going to be even better? If Marvin Jones comes back healthy, he might even enter the conversation.

I hope Cooper doesn’t get paid like he is top 10.

He is probably the best route runner I’ve ever seen and that doesn’t make him a current day top 10 WR. Pretty wild.

Pretty sure he'll be paid top 10 money...my guess is even much higher than that. Probably top 5 $$ due to timing.

He's a difference maker for us big-time.
But like I said last year when we got him, his cost was WAY higher than just a 1st rounder. It was a first rounder PLUS the cost of a top 10 WR after his rookie deal is over.
Not complaining (as I said, he's a great fit), but he did cost a ton all things considered.

That's the primary reason I was against the trade.
