The man has crossed 1,000 yards 4 out of the 5 seasons since he's been in the league. He had a career best 8 touchdowns last year. I get he needs to play better on the road, but THIS WHOLE OFFENSE needs to play better, including the man asking for a contract as well as the running back who just got a contract. I think people tend to forget that this man was hurt last year, towards the second half of the season. I also believe people tend to forget that our offense completely garbage before he opened up our weapons.

Rex Ryan is an idiot and shows his stupidity with his comments concerning to Cooper. You don't get rid of a guy like Cooper because he clearly makes your qb a better player. I can't wait to see him play under McCarthy.
 
It’s more the contract fans hate than anything. It’s the same with Dak and Zeke. If all these players were playing on low team friendly deals you wouldn’t see as much hate. Amari could have gotten more money from the Commanders. There’s only been a few fans want to move on from him for a cheaper option.

Maybe its just me but for 20 mil a season you should be able to do better than zero catches in a game. He is a disappearing act at times.

Cooper was great at home, no doubt about that, but his stats in away games last year were mediocre. 6.15 ypt, 40.0 yards per game.

There are some mitigating circumstances, but that's weak sauce for a #1, and very weak sauce for 20mil/year. At that money, you can't disappear on away games. You're the guy the team needs to be able to count on.

First of all, are we really going to entertain anything that Rex Ryan says....Secondly, Cooper is one of the best route runners I have ever seen. The man runs crazy routes and will dust a defender and what does he do afterwords? Not looking winded at all he runs over to the sideline and waits to head back on to the field. This is the kind of guy that we need, the man is strictly business. He must have watched the legend Witten and how he handled himself on the field because Cooper earns my respect on that alone.
 
I dint think its hate as much as financial justification for 20 mil alot of people would say. As for myself I love his talent. Just wish he shows up more in big games
 
Does anyone take coaching into account? Dudes had a defensive HC and Jason Garrett and never been truly unlocked schematically. I’m looking forward to what he can do this year and I’ll let him earn his 20M before I chastise him for having it.

Agreed and I have this opinion towards almost everyone on the roster. These guys have been given the short end of the coaching stick for a long time.

Rex Ryan called him a turd on national TV not to long ago during a debate on if he deserves the contact he signed. You can qualify that as hates guess.

I forgot about that.
 
There's always ways to mold the numbers around a positive argument and a negative argument. People who dislike Amari have always disliked Amari. And people who like Amari have always liked Amari and neither side has any interest in changing their minds, they just just get upset when those numbers are presented in their ideal fashion.
 
When you are a star and you wear the Star you will be hated on....even by some of the very fans that think that they are Die Hard Cowboys fans. It is what being apart of Americas Team is all about....for players and fans
