How does Riley Cooper get a pass?

[3rd & Inches]

His gawd awful drop killed them and he wasn't much of a factor otherwise even though he gets more targets than anyone on the team.
And DJax gets criticized? Can't blame him that Foles is in love with Cooper.

Didn't he almost lead the league in yards per catch?

Ooops my bad. He did tie Megatron. I'm changing Cooper's name from Predator to Starscream!

I've been on Jackson's jock since before his rookie year.

I called Cooper's drop the biggest bad play in a game full of them.

Fuck stats ... targets to catches isn't something that is exclusively a function of the receiver.

Cooper dropped a lay up Sunday, but dropping balls isn't his M.O.

Cooper has had an excellent year, and made as many catches in big spots as any player on the team.

i'm don't dispute any of that. most football stats are subject to lots of interpretation although there is no doubt that he's Foles favorite.

but i still don't like him, think he benefits greatly from Foles love for him and i'm pretty sure they can upgrade that position. Guess it will come down to dollars. as i've said, i hope he goes somewhere else because he's a redneck a-hole and not as good as he's being made out to be.

If you want to judge receivers only on catch to target ratio, Riley Cooper is a better receiver than Torrey Smith.

yeah but smith was getting #1 coverage and flacco only completed 57 percent.

seriously, you would take cooper over torrey smith?

[Maniac]

can't wait for coop's nike commercial. maybe they can get kenny chesney.

HAHAHHA that was pretty good Maniac! In all seriousness, why don't you just say that you dislike the guy because you feel like he is a racist POS, saying that he sucks as a receiver is dishonest. He filled the role as a number two well this year.

[slag]

I have a feeling the "redneck a-hole" you think he is has more to do with it than his football skills.

I have no similar bias.

I gave Vick a second chance after he participated in vile and disgusting treatment of helpless domestic animals.

I figured I'd give Cooper the same for saying a word when he was angry and drunk.

[The Ref]

He doesn't get a pass, but, if not for Cooper stepping up when he did, earlier in the year, that game on Sat would have been between dallas and the aints.

If not for Jackson and his 80 receptions for 1300+ yards and 9 touchdowns, the Eagles wouldn't have even gotten above .500.

So what's your point again?

I did say I dislike the guy because I feel he's a racist POS. I also feel some of his teammates agree. I didn't say he sucks. I said I think the Eagles can do better at that position.

Now in all seriousness, how can you compare him to Calvin Johnson?

[common wealth]

of course not, but i'm not the one touting catch to target ratio as the go to stat to judge wide receivers.

Do you drop N-bombs where you're angry? You can give him a break if you want but let's not sugarcoat it.

If McNabb was still the QB;

Cooper would not even get a look, because Riley runs a lot of underneath crossing Routes.
McNabb could not make those throws, so he ignored them. DJax runs deeper go routes and doesn't get open as much a Riley. The Drop was a killer, but GB had a couple also!
But it seems the mistakes made by the winners are soon forgotten, mistakes by the losers live on ad infinitely.

[slag]

You've never used or thought an ethnic or racial slur when angry?

I have.

I compared his ypc to Calvin Johnson and its factually correct. I really just want to call him Starscream.




Next year, I would like to see Djax and Coop on the outside with Maclin running the crossing patterns. Maclin will be a mismatch in our favor every game.

He reminds me more of grimlock
