Twitter: Cooper was effectively benched

[phildadon86]

Garrett has zero to do with the offense.

It’s his scheme. What are you talking about? It’s his playbook. It’s kellens to experiment with but it’s Garrett’s scheme and it’s archaic

 

[willia451]

Nobody on that sideline has the authority to bench anyone.

That's probably true.

The Eagles were doubling him through out the game . They would have doubled him in that situation. Even if he was not playing well, he would have been more effective as a decoy than Austin and Bryant in that situation. This is another dumb mistake my JG and the coaching staff.

Exactly, sometimes defenses cover player reputation. In Super Bowl xxxii the Packers had to believe that Terrell Davis was getting the ball to allow John Elway to just walk into the end zone, and Shanahan knew that.

If only we had QB that can throw a receiver open.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Honestly, when I heard Garrett’s explanation about rotating Austin and Cobb it really did come off like a cover alibi for Cooper.

We have one who can throw behind the rexeiver.

So what then? He needs new cleats? He can’t perform on the road bc he’s scared? The qb chemistry?

they traded a blue chip asset for a guy and let him slowly turn into a backup? Why? Explain.

That fade to dallas Goedert over heath brought back romo to dez memories

Look at Cooper's last eight games.

This is why Oakland gave up on him.

So why did they give up on Mack? Does he suck too?
You can't judge a player solely on what an incompetent FO did to them.

Wasted a round 1 pick on a gutless no heart prima donna...

 

[BoysForLife]

I'm sure there was nobody good we could have gotten with that 1st rounder. No big loss.

Not trying to butter you up but legitimately, you're one of the best on this forum at quick hitting sardonic takes.

I laughed out loud at this one.

 

[ondaedg]

Wow. He sucked that bad that he was benched in favor of Austin and Bryant. And you guys want to keep him? Garrett’s way of doing things is very stupid, but Amari is obviously not living up to standards. Him or Dak will walk at the end of the season. Hopefully both.

Amari Cooper on his worst day is 10x better than the guys who were in. There is more to this story than Amari not playing well. Hopefully we'll hear more about his injury situation,

Haha thanks man, 25 years of suck have made me cynical.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Another WR will meet his Dez on this offense.
WR come to Dallas to Die.....

Yep.. too inconsistent for his talent level.

Not worth top 5 WR money.

We took a shot he could put us over the top. Didn’t really work out overall.

 

[BigD5]

What do you imbeciles want to do? Cut everybody? Cut Dak? Cut Cooper?

Ok let’s say they part ways with Dak and Cooper. Now you go into next year with what at QB? Copper Rush? And we have him throwing to who? Gallup and tavon and Cobb?

That team would go 1-15 with bill Belichick as the head coach with full control of football operations

 

[Diehardblues]

it's not like dak could hit him in stride anyways, how many circuses catches does he have to make to bail out dak?

Yep

How many WR will crash and burn before we get it?

 

[jwooten15]

He played the second half of the season just to not get hurt. Let me mail it in somewhere else

 

[glimmerman]

If he is not hurt then there is no need for contract talks.

 

[Rockport]

And rightfully so. Don’t need any quitters out there.
