Has Lamb proven that he is a legit 1 WR?

[Whiskey Cowboy]

Loved him at Oklahoma and knew the talent was there. Seemed like something was missing coming into the season, and even early in the season. The light came on around mid-season and he's been electric. This is the CeeDee Lamb I thought we would see when he was drafted and I can't be happier about it.

That’s your opinion, and you are entitled. My point is that Lamb is not beating double teams and bracket coverage on his own any more than Cooper did. So far he hasn’t even had a game like Cooper had when he first got here, destroying the Eagles defense. Lamb deserves the credit, but Kellen Moore is doing it for him scheme wise in ways he never did for Cooper. Cooper is double teamed or bracketed, fine, we go to Lamb or Gallup. Lately, Moore is using Lamb in the slot, in motions and reverse motions, in shifts, in bunch formations and in rub routes. He has to do that because we have no Lamb behind him, and it showed earlier this season. If Moore had done that when Cooper was here instead of letting his #1 be taken out by the defense, our offense would have been even better.

CD has crazy YAC, that's what clearly defines him as a WR1 in this league.
One of the most dangerous WRs with the ball in his hands, top 3-4 in the league.

He’s a number one. Dez had better yac. They also keep him in the slot and live him around to avoid the press. Cooper never got that treatment.

 

[NumOneQB]

I think so. Lamb has stepped up and answered the call. He’s not getting much help though…….

 

[Loso86]

You said he was dropping balls left and right. That was a lie. He has only 5 on the season. I brought up Amari Cooper because this fan base swear he was a 1, yet he has twice as many drops as Ceedee on less targets

He was dropping KEY passes when we needed them, and Amari was a number 1. It's more to it then numbers

 

[3rdEyewarrior]

No, 100 catches and 1300 yards seasons means little. Greg Cosell says CeeDee is only the Cowboys number 1. He is always watching film so he knows things.
In all seriousness Lamb is 23 years of age and has more natural talent the Cooper Kupp. Barring injury he will get better. He will be a 30 million dollar receiver and the Cowboys have 3 of the top players under 25 in the league with CeeDee, Parsons, and Diggs.

Kip ran4.6. Lamb runs 4.51. They’re both 6’2. That helps. Lamb has to be a great Rt runner to dominate being skinny with average speed.

 

[baltcowboy]

1. Jefferson
2. Kupp
3. Diggs
4. Hill
5. Chase
6, Lamb
7. Adams
8. A.J. Brown
9. Allen
10. Goodwin

My top ten

I am not sure anyone is truly better then Hill. His speed is frightening. He might be the fastest player in pads that the league has ever seen. Your list is interesting to say the least.

It appears he is ascending. He is the #1wr on our team

But he sucked in last year's playoffs w only 1 catch. I'ma have to see him lead this team in the playoffs.

Cooper caught 5 balls and scored a TD against SF. He is a more precise route runner and more surehanded wr

But I like Lambs go up and get a ball skillsets better

He has a chance to eclipse Cowboys single season number of catches, although I think he Is nine or ten catches short with one game to go. He has taken over games and been unstoppable at times. Yes, absolutely he is a #1.

I still wish they found a way to keep Cooper.

Me too. It made no sense.
But theyll prolly sell $50 million in #88 jerseys

Zeke is still one of the highest sold jerseys

That's why nobody sweating his 18 million salary cap. Js

Guys that are the most marketable get paid $$$ and are retained the longest

Look at #82

The Cooper myths continue

 

[glimmerman]

Yes. He is getting even better..

 

[glimmerman]

I know many had doubts. Has he done enough to sway you?

Is he better than amari cooper?

Not as fast as Cooper but is learning to get open better and faster.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Good thing he is learning to get open.

Adams, Chase, Jefferson, Hill, Kupp. those guys are all 1ABCDE.

 

[glimmerman]

Playing outside is different than slot. I think if he stayed at slot he would and could be the best slot guy in the league..

Hill is definitely the best YAC WR in the NFL.

 

[kskboys]

Yes, Lamb is a good mid tier #1.

Maybe not better, but more reliable due to not being injury prone.
