Nugget on Amari Cooper

[The Realist]

He averaged more yards per game than any WR traded mid season since 1970.

 

[Falco78]

He has been very impressive for us

 

[Texas_Pete]

Definitely worth the 25th overall pick. His acquisition saved our season.

 

[bdk76]

Wait.… ......I thought we gave up a top 10 pick for a guy with the drops, who doesn't even love football?

32nd?

32nd?

Music to my ears!! At the time of the move I was against it. Even the team insiders said this move was more for next year and not turning around this season.
Bravo to the coaching staff. ( i cant believe I said that). Garrett don't play scared, just follow Jimmy Johnsons playbook from 1992! Play to win, dont play scared.
Hit the 800 pound gorilla in the mouth. The Cowboys should not lose to Seattle, we are more talented across the board. Garrett, this is your chance to make your mark, the conference is up for grabs, we have no dominant team.

I don't think the Raiders counted on what the Cowboys or the Bears would do this season. They gave up Cooper and Mack for what is projected to be a 24th and 28th pick. Either way, it will be two late first round picks. I don't think that's what they were looking for.

32nd?

Probably would've been closer to 15th.

 

[SlammedZero]

I always liked Cooper (he was money for me one year in fantasy lol) but even I was skeptical of the trade. Worked out well I'd say, and hopefully, that will continue into the playoffs.

 

[CATCH17]

That’s probably not saying much.

 

[Future]

I saw this last night. Who even is his competition for this? Roy Williams?

Good WRs don't get traded in the middle of the season.

 

[Rayman70]

ok, Saturday is the time to judge whether Dak and Cooper is a fit together or not. BOTH MEN better be on the same page from the coin flip on or it will be a tough go.Seattle will run us out of our own stadium by the 3rd quarter. We just cant expect to turn around and run Zeke. Dak and Amari MUST take it up a notch early.

 

[Rayman70]

I expect Seattle will load the box and make Dak beat them with his arm. Its that simple. He must be GOOD DAK early on.

 

[jwooten15]

I just hope he doesn't start making a habit of pouting when a ball doesn't make it his way. That was kinda concerning

Everytime we have a thread get started without the usual back and forth of these extremist camps, someone decides it would be funny to write exactly what you just wrote with slight modifications to match the thread.

The most overused joke on this forum and half the time it starts the argument that is playing out in basically every thread already, but it does so ironically so it's ok.

Value yet to be determined. As we have to re-sign him after next year.
This is only a 1 1/2 year game trade.

Saved season - I would have said salvaged a bad season.
If we had bad maybe new HC.

So there is a good side and a bad side to this trade.

agree.He looked like T.O. for a second. Most good wideouts are diva's though. Just a fact of life. HE is the type of guy that has to be involved early or he gets like that,then he is ineffective. Gotta have a gameplan to get him a catch early.We need him. Cant win without him.

Kelvin Benjamin, randy moss, and percy harvin were all traded midseason, though their status as top receivers is questionable. Clearly cooper is the best of the lot.

Maybe. If Mayock can repeat his understanding of the draft as a GM, though, they have a chance to find two players on the cheap for 5 years. I’d say there is a good chance the trades worked for all parties.

I'm not asking this to diminish what Cooper has done, but I feel like there probably aren't a lot of top level WR's that have been traded mid season over the years. Do you have numbers?
