The Brandin Cooks trade doesn't solve the problem. It is the problem!

[NotForLong]

Let's be fair, he was twice traded to a team that subsequently got to the SB....he was traded up to a contender.

He is a Frickin' Lucky Charm Talisman

 

[cmoney23]

He was impressive for those 14 seconds, hey?

2 for 52 and a tud in 14 seconds... yeah... it's pretty freaking good.

 

[NotForLong]

in 2019 he has not had a concussion since. Not sure it is a 1 year rental since he has 2 remaining years on his deal before he becomes a FA.

But no deed money . . . They may keep him or they may not depending on other Contracts

I don't believe the Concussions are a problem based on my post

The QB is the problem


Ceedee, Gallup, and Cooks is a fine trio of receivers

the QB aint changing so at least getting some WRs in here who can get some separation may help our accracy challenged QB. We can win with him despite what many think.

[NotForLong]

Why? What is your conclusion as to why he keeps being dumped? Hair out of place?

He has never been Dumped . . . He has been actively pursued by Super Bowl Contenders . . . And up until this point He has secured a Bounty in return

When Brandin Cooks joins the Dallas Cowboys, he will join his 5th team in his 9-year career.

Saints, Pats, Rams, Texans, and now the Cowboys. A lot of folks on here are caught up by a name they recognize and a player some wanted during the season, last year. And I'll be the first to admit that Brandin Cooks is a NICE player, he isn't what this team needs.

This team needs an offensive weapon. A "game wrecker" of sorts. Not another nice WR that will fight for number 2 touches in our offense.

It points to the obvious blind spot in the front office that most of here can see but some are blinded too as well.

IMO settling for anything short of DHop or OBJ is just that. Settling.

Lamb is your game wrecker. Look at the year he just had when the 2nd best receiver was an inconsistent TE. McCarthy should be able to create a lot of mismatches with Cooks and Lamb on the field. I think Lamb will be even better this year.

I am not sure why people keep acting like OBJ is this upper tier, elite WR still. Or that we should question Cooks on his 5th team in 9 years but somehow OBJ bouncing around like a fool isn't equally perplexing/questionable.

Because somebody didn’t get the name that they wanted and now want to pitch a fit.

It’s embarrassing.

He had that in 2021. Made 0 difference

 

[cmoney23]

wow. really? let me get back lest i am crushed by the mass of people rushing by me to sign him to their team.

At my last count, there were 7 teams openly interested in him... That's 20% of the league.

(Cowboys, Chiefs, Ravens, Giants, Bills, Rams, Packers. 8 if you count the Jets and being on Rogers list)

 

[starfan1]

I’m just telling you what McCarthy wants to do. They want to control clock and protect their quarterback and defense like they did with Romo. Romo went on to have the best season of his career.

you cannot have a conversation with any Romo related with him he is too far obsessed with the dude. You are correct BTW

This is Mark Holmes level of Embarassing

Ya, but you missed the point. You're basing your take on 2 catches in the 1st qtr. Small sample sized always lead to erroneous conclusions.

 

[Stash]

Fanbase is never happy. People are screaming for a speedy receiver, get one and it's not enough. Look at what Cooks was traded for outside of the Cowboys trade, 1st and 2nd rd picks, he is a very valuable receiver.

Don’t blame ‘the fanbase’, blame this particular poster throwing a tantrum because the team didn’t acquire the name he’d hoped for. It’s nothing more than that.

 

[ESisback]

Cooks isn't all that. Neither is D-Hop or OBJ. All of them are 30+ years old with lots of wear-n-tear and who cost lots of money.

You may be right, but I’d wager we’ll get more out of Cooks than we would have got out of those other two, and for a lot less money.

Cooks will stretch the field, and help Lamb’s targets.

 

[cmoney23]

yea, you are.

and the lengths you will go to here is at best, comical. at worst, well, pretty sure saying it would break at least 2 rules in here.

LOL... I always wonder how guys can post 30,000+ times and only have 7,000 likes. You helped clear that up for me... Thanks!

 

[Denim Chicken]

It solves the Noah Brown as your #2 receiver problem.

We already have a legit WR1 with Ceedee and, optimistically with Gallup getting back to form, a good WR2.

How many team have a WR3 the caliber of Cooks?

No but year 2 at 16 mill is still not high for a WR, not when you see guys like Cooper making 23 mill a season with 2 years remaining. We get Cooker for 12 this season and if they choose to play out the deal 16.5 in 2024. I think people lose track for the cost on these deals where top WR is getting 30 mill.

and yet, none of them have pulled the trigger.

you say there must be a reason cooks keeps getting traded then cry when someone says there must be a reason your dream boys have not been signed yet.

use your own logic on your own arguments and this gets easier. or at least a lot less biased.
