Has the hype on Nelson Agholar really gotten that big? Seems like he's been a huge let down to me.
Interesting the guys you choose to match up for comparison sake.It's the Eagles. Desean Jackson and Randall Cobb's best days are behind them, but Desean was just down right better with Jameis Winston as opposed to Aaron Rogers. Michael Gallup may have a ton of upside, but Alshon Jeffery has actually produced at a high level. I think we'd all be quite happy if Gallup put up 800 yards and 6 TDs this year, which is what Jeffery did last year.
Now Nelson Agolor is not in Cooper's league, but it's hard to say that equals out the other two, which aren't really close.
And this doesn't even factor in TEs...
Agreed here.I'd trade Jarwin for Goedert right now and not even think twice about it. Shoot, I'd trade Jarwin and a mid round pick for Goedert and giggle the entire time. I think Jarwin can be a decent TE in this league. Goedert could be a star.
Ball placement vs ball catch-ability.I agree talent wise it is close and I personally would not entertain trading WR's. Both groups depend on the accurate placement of the pass, and I think ball delivery talent might be more in phillys favor as of early Sept before the first game of the season. I hope Dak puts his issues with ball placement in the rear view mirror.
The Eagle's WR;s are so good they threw to the TE's more then any team in the League last year plus they will be lucky if Wentz makes it a whole season something he has never done . Its why they did not play him in the Preseason its the only thing on their mind !Has the hype on Nelson Agholar really gotten that big? Seems like he's been a huge let down to me.
Thanks.
That was easy haha
You are 100% right Mesean is only good for the Deep ball & Wentz is not a great deep passer !Interesting the guys you choose to match up for comparison sake.
Wouldnt you take and matchup #1 vs #1?
This would be Cooper vs Alshon where Cooper is clearly better.
Nelson Agolor is a slot WR most of the time so he is matched up with out slot WR which is Cobb and Tavon Austin. I would call this a draw. Wentz only throws to the center of the field so TE's and Slots get a good amount of action with Wentz.
Gallup vs Mesean Jackson..... I can't give either guy the edge. I am not a Mesean fan and see him as a 1 dimensional liability that can only do what Wentz struggles with. The long ball. Jameis throws bombs which help Mesean last 2 seasons. Wentz has always struggled with reading defenses down field.
If TE's are a factor then its over. But if we are counting TE's then we need to count RB's out of the backfield right?
At least we can fight over football again and not contracts.
Amen he has been hit a lot not the player he was .Desean Jackson isn't an elite player anymore. Not saying the Eagles don't have a great WR corp, but most commentators are acting like he's the same Desean Jackson from 6 or 8 years ago.

The question for me is can Prescott consistently allow these guys to play on the edge of their abilities. If he can do that then the Dallas offense will be one to fear this year. If he can't...well, there's always "next" year.Cobb, Gallup and Coop is one of the best WR trios in the NFL, period. I'd put it up there with Kupp, Woods and Cooks. That's how good I feel about it.
I agree with velocity for me it is his placement i.e. making sure the WR stays in stride and does not need to reboot his gait. I see it getting better but it has loads of room for improving IMO. After this last knee replacement, along with the other injuries that have occured to Wentz I think we still got the better deal with our fourth rounder. Hoping for the best this season with Dak.Ball placement vs ball catch-ability.
Where Wentz throws 100mph lasers to guys 5 yards away from him Dak throws softer more catchable passes.
There is a reason Amari Cooper didnt have the drops once he started playing with Dak. He has said he loves the way Dak delivers the ball.
