A couple of us on here got crapped on for bringing up Cooper's suspect hands and ghosting that was a huge red flag for the Raiders. Well after leading the league in drops in 2015 and 2017, not looking so good so far in 2019. Wanting to get a big contract, this isn't the best way to go about it.



For those unaware, Cooper had a terrible 2015 and 2017 with being historic with his drop rate. He was there with guys like the great Braylon Edwards and Greg Little.

Wrote Scott Barrett of PFF: “Cooper led the league in drops (18) and drop rate (20.0 percent) in his rookie season (2015), but then seemed to get past the issue in 2016, dropping only four passes. In 2017, Cooper again led the league in drop rate (17.2 percent). Not only are these numbers bad, but they’re historically bad. Since 2007, there have only been three players to see at least 100 targets and post a drop rate of 17 percent or worse: Braylon Edwards (2007 and 2008), Greg Little (2011) and Cooper (2015 and 2017).”

I'm sure the lack of repetition he's getting or not getting due to his injuries have contributed to his drop rate. If I'm not mistaken his injury was diagnosed early in training camp, he's also been limited in practice, that's a lot of time to miss. I don't look for it to continue.

Zeke missed a lot of time to and he has yet to look like his old self.

I don't remember much talk about his drop rate when we traded our first for him.

Crazy how quickly Dez transitioned to A BEAST to a JAG. If you would of told me in 2014 that Dez wouldn't be on a team right now I would of thought you would of been crazy. Dez was talked to be 1a or 1b in the NFL at wr from 2011-2014

I remember a scout saying that he’s prone to drops, doesn’t do well with physical coverage, and something along the lines of doesn’t handle adversity well. Those were the negatives with the obvious positive being he’s off the charts good at route running and getting open.

If having Cowboys haters and sports media saying "I told you so" about what happens when the Cowboys play a real team in the Saints. Now we have Raiders fans being able to say "I told you so." about Cooper dropping passes. sigh
