How good has Amari Cooper been?

[Galian Beast]

After 3 games he has 14 receptions on 23 targets for 169 yards and 1 touchdown.

Extrapolate that over the course of a 16 game season and we're looking at

75 receptions, 901 yards, and 5 touchdowns.

True he hasn't had an offseason here and came halfway into the season, but certainly isn't looking worth a first round draft pick.

His greatest accomplishment is likely moving this team from a 5 win team to an 8 win team based on the margins. These numbers are barely better than Dez's numbers last year and he wouldn't have cost us a 1st round pick.

 

[Direwolf63]

He is the product of an archaic, fossilized offensive system with a limited QB running it.

Put him with the Saints, Rams or Chiefs and he would be tearing it up.

He's fine. It's the coaches and the QB that's the problem.

 

[ClintDagger]

I would say if he’s a 900 yard receiver that’s not enough for giving up a #1. But he is still acclimating himself to the offense so hopefully he will end up being more of a 1300-ish WR once he’s fully implemented.

I think it just solidifies the true elephant in the room. Receiver is/was not the problem with this offense. Goodbye Kellen Moore. Goodbye Scott Linehan. Goodbye Jason Carrot.

 

[Sydla]

Unless he turns into Julio Jones or AJ Green, then he likely will never be worth a 1st round pick.

 

[big dog cowboy]

He has already proven well worth a first round pick.

The impact he has made on the Cowboys offense is very obvious.

500 yards for Zeke in his last 3 games says it all. Plus Dak has been more accurate.

 

[nightrain]

I think he has made defenses respect his ability. Unfortunately, the Cowboys can't fully exploit what he has to offer due to limitations at QB.

They got rid of Dez, because Dez will not accept losing without calling them out on their crap in front of the whole team.

A little credit there to Columbo for straightening out of the O Line issues.

 

[Hardline]

This run first offense will limit any WRs numbers.

Can we let the season play out before the whine threads start over again.

You have trouble thinking critically don't you?

We just need a larger sample size.

If you would have extrapolated his stats before yesterday it would have been
88 catches-1064 yards-8 TDs

But the "his greatest accomplishment is likely moving this team from a 5 win to 8 win team" is pretty funny. If Cooper is good for an additional 3 wins then he is easily worth a 1st lol.

After three games.

Nuff said.

Some fans prefer to obsess.

Well, fan is short for fanatic. I hope Cooper roasts Norman alive. Payback for all those times he shut down Dez. I'd move him around on Thursday since Norman doesn't follow people.

No, those are horrid numbers over an entire season. But I think its ridiculous to take the first 3 games. But we already know that this isn't a pass heavy offense. When the QB is throwing for 200 yards a game, you arent going to have a 1300 yard receiver.

Any way you slice it, I take Cooper over Dez 10 out of 10 times. Imagine Cooper with Romo as the QB in Garretts 80%, one dimensional, pass happy offenses.

Thinking critically actually should involve a larger sample size to help determine trends and isolated incidents.

Says what? There’s no proof that defenses are playing the Cowboys any differently than before Cooper came along. And did you really just suggest that Cooper’s mere presence has made Dak more accurate??
