Not exactly worth the 20 million $ we were paying him.....not his fault as a good horse needs a good jockey!

Cooper wasn't only in Dallas 1 season though, so it's not exactly fair to say he underachieved with Dallas based only on one season.

Even looking at the 2021 season, which admittedly was a bit disappointing, he played 2 fewer games than he did with Cleveleand in 2022, and he had more legitimate receivers to share targets with than he had in Cleveland.

No, the ability of Dak not being able to consistently throw against a zone and his stupid TOs is what killed this team..

Lol!

 

[StarOfGlory]

Is it asking too much for 2 guys to have 1000 yard seasons? Hell he may have a better year than Ceedee

Philly did it, so can we!

2018 was lost because Jerry's a dumazz and they were desperate as usual. But when you replace your number 1 with a better #1 which is exactly what happened last year when Lamb took over, you don't then relegate that guy to #2. He was a low end #1 at that who wasn't worth the contract and it was time to unload it.


They were able to find one team dumb enough to take the deal. Not a single team besides the Browns wanted anything to do with that contract. Tell me how he stepped up after that Seahawks playoff game 5 years ago? Complete overvalue of production that can be replaced far cheaper and spent elsewhere.

We’re paying Cooks and Gallup about half of what it would has cost to keep Cooper for this season. Thus we’re able to discuss extending lamb and resigning Diggs, Steele etc.
100% correct decision!

What did getting rid of Cooper get you?

Did you go to SF and beat Mr. Irrelevant? Lamb has not been impressive as a playmaker in any of the playoff games. How many TDs did no.1 Cee Dee Lamb had with Dak all year in 2022? How many did Cooper have with a suspended Watson in 2022? on how many catches? What was Lamb longest catch the last 2 years vs. Cooper? So is Lamb really a better no.1 WR when it counts?

The only thing Jerry did was save money and stay relevant. How has that won championships the last 30 years?

All I know is Cooper made Rush a hero, Dalton a starter for the Saints, and got Dak his "money lil duffle bag boy".

Keep drinking that Jerry Dumbo Jones Kool Aid. Keep staying home watching other teams play in a conference championship game and Super Bowl 30 years and counting.

Getting rid of Cooper was a BAD Football decision if you are trying to win a Super Bowl.

I believe there is a hidden question here which might be more relevant than what the OP asked.

Which player - Cooper or Cooks - will offer the best opportunities for Cee Dee to thrive at a level where he should be in regard to his immense talent?

Now that question has a flaw in that Cee Dee was still acclimating to the NFL, and he has a different role now. But my opinion is Cee Dee will set the bar this season far above what he has done while on this team and in this league thus far.

What factors in for me is Cooks attitude. I do not have anything in the way of evidence to back up this statement, but I believe Amari Cooper paved his way out of Dallas because of his attitude. Not a TO type of boisterous buffoon, but perhaps a locker room cancer that didn't really show up in the press. I am only speculating. But in the final analysis Jerry was the one to jettison Cooper for what ever Scotch fueled nightmare Jerry concocted. And last year's results lie at the feet of Jerry Jones.

Cooks is a pro's pro, and brings a different demeanor to the table. I think he will be a real plus to the team, and a perfect Robin to Cee Dee's Batman - I despise myself for even making that analogy.

Come on niw. Coop was loved in the locker room. We all know why Jerry got rid of cooper. It’s already been publicized. Broadus Patrick Walker and all the other cowboys media have said it. He didn’t get vaccine when the rest threat of the team pretty much did. And that irked Jerry when he consequently missed games because of that decision. He didn’t jsut all of a sudden become a locker room cancer after a couple of years and a new extension in Dallas

Cooper was begging Dak to just throw it to him that year. But it is what is and fortunately Ceedee has stepped up in his role , though I still believe Cooper is the better overall wr, the gap has definitely narrowed

I marvel at people who read just enough of a post then go off and rebuke the poster. Recognize this?

This is exactly what I posted. Clearly I started by saying I don't have evidence. And I finished with Jerry's culpability in removing Cooper from the team.

I don't always believe the local media when they speculate and repeat rumors that have heard, This includes Broaddus. However, that does not mean Jerry will fly off the handle, which, for whatever reason, he did and he is at fault for last year's results more than anyone else.

The Cooper fan club at it again. Lamb had 1359 yards. A number Cooper has never come close to in his career. If people say he's a good WR, to some that simply isn't good enough without crying about how great he is. He's a replaceable receiver with replaceable numbers and the "TEAM" is light years better than it was in 2021 in part to not paying their "2nd" WR a ridiculous contract. Keep pretending he's just as good. LOL Cleveland will be replacing him by next season, maybe even mid season. You're fooling yourself.

Same record without Cooper as with Cooper.
Saved 40m to go towards contracts for Diggs, Steele etc.
100% correct decision.
Understood?

 

[shabazz]

Why are people still obsessed with players that are no longer here!

Agree 100%. We just can’t help ourselves and it’s shameful



i wonder if Deuce will have more yards than Zeke?

That is why they play the game. I hope for the Arlington Jonesboys that you are correct.

I have been 100% correct that Jerry Dumbo GM Jones makes the wrong decisions for 30 years. Those decisions have not been Super Bowl motivated since Jerry took 2 years to win his last Super Bowl with Jimmy Johnson's Dallas Cowboys.

Keep drinking the Kool Aid.

I'm with you on that. Amari was more concerned about his stats and avoiding injuries than anything else. He would make business decisions in clutch times, and also disappeared for road games. That said, I'm not sure if Cooks has a similar problem or if he's more consistent in that regard. I guess we'll see.
