Trading Cooper did turn into a pretty big deal last year, and losing Moore and Schultz could too. However, there are also potential reasons to be excited concerning those things. 1) We replaced Cooper this year with a player at least on his level in Cooks. 2) McCarthy will be calling plays and adding more of his offense (which helped Green Bay win a Super Bowl) and Moore's offense has floundered against San Fran in back-to-back playoffs. 3) Ferguson and Hendershot look like they could step up and be at least as good as Schultz (of course, they could also flub their shot at the top role).
Big deal to fans and media Not actual fans who knew copper 22mil no longer fit with this team. We were moving on, neded the cap money and guess what
we also lost,
Collins
Cwill
Jarwin
turner
Ced
cooper
had schultz with that group and lamb& gallup
big deal ?? huh? that we with and without many of them and never got past the 2nd round.
its want big loss
here was the TRUE problem at WR for 22...
The Cowboys FO beloved Gallup would be back 100% once he hit the field(dont say they should have known look at the season Goodwin had for the bucs once he got rolling, same injury, surgery around the same time), well up until then we had Lamb learning to be a 1 and BROWN a 2 as Washington got hurt as well.
its was never we missed cooper, how could it?? he didn't help us against the rams or 49er in the playoffs, you cant lose a game and say dang if we just had cooper. we had cooper from 18-21 he did NOT help us get over the top. we moved on without him made it just as far..
IMO it was Washington and Gallup who messed up the plan and Tolbert didn't develop,
hindsight says man if we just had cooper. NO it was not having a #2 for half or more of season.. so it was more they didnt have replacement for Gallups missing and Washington was supposed to take ceds productions.
Im sorry but i will dismiss coops release he was NOT the ANSWER accept the Practice, whats practice (that answer lol)..he may have been solid 1 for team , never elite, never special. 22mil says you need to be the clear #1 and being something special. he was simply a very good payer who made too much money for our needs moving to CD as our 1 22mil for 2 NOPE had Gallup for 4mil and got cooks for 6..Cooks is what we needed so with that knowledge its Ced Wilsons release that would have been the misstep in hindsight he could have bridged that gap. a ty Hilton for the year yes but Copp and his 22mil , no it wasn't missed given cap relief and the fact he was slipping to the 3rd option in 21 to Lamb and Schultz.
somehow this was mistake for us yet KC won sb trading away Hill and letting honey badger go and replacing them with JUJU and bunch of dudes ie bargain bin WRBC and Bargain RBBC and won sb against team made all the moves., we didn't lose the 9er game over coops loss. we lost it because the OL was banged up missing steele and brought no physicality to the game ie NO RUN GAME, poor pass protection, and made it easy for the 9er front 7 to control the LOS with 4-5 guys and play max coverage. happened 2 years in row with or without coop, they shut down our OL, run game, and controlled the pass rush with little help. .
this and in pollards injury and 16 run plays called by our dearly departed OC who thought not using Malik was the best thing even though we saw KC did it with 4 RBS..i mean come on, stop the nonsense Coop was the reason we didn't go further, it absurd because we didn't with him. they lost Hill , won a sb, we lose Coop and our fans think he was the missing piece LOL
Its ironic that fans feel we let go of Jerry rice lmao we didn't neither did the raiders or his 3rd team.
