Calvin Ridley vs Amari Cooper, Freshman Comparison

Ridley needs 108 yards in the next game to break Cooper's total from his freshman season, but Ridley could potentially have one more game this season than Cooper did, if we win our first playoff game.
Cooper also had McCarron throwing to him, while Ridley has Coker, who is inconsistent at best (but has improved, so hell yeah!).
Cooper is crushing Ridley in YPC now, which is even more impressive when you consider that while Cooper has the same amount of yards as Ridley with 22 fewer catches, he also did not record a catch in one game during the 2012 season.
All in all, while Ridley seems to be slightly less productive than Cooper, I think we can all say that Ridley is by far the next great Alabama WR in a recent run of superstars.

Ridley is definitely a boss. Doesn't really matter to me, but in the grand scheme of things, no Bama receiver will ever pass Cooper. Nobody on Earth could stop that dude. Also, the only reason he was ever stopped in the first place is because the QB was sucking.

I was thrown for a loop when they said Ridley had caught 75 passes this year. I didn't realize he had that many receptions. I don't see Ridley having a single season like Cooper had in 2014 (Hell I don't think we ever see that shite again), but he definitely has a great shot to be top 2 or 3 all-time.

His kyptomite was not of his own making....sad and insane crazy at the same time.

If Barnett is as advertised, then Ridley could be in NYC like Cooper was. We are good QB away from being truly dominant in all phases.

Also, Stewart has 54 catches for 600 yards (11.11 YPC) and 4 TDs on the year.
Plus Robert Foster will be back next year.
It may be the best 1-3 WR unit we've had under Saban. Cooper/Norwood/White in 2013 probably has that title right now, though Coop was banged up in 2013.

If recent history is any indicator, Cooper Bateman will be Alabama's next QB unless he proves to be a total shite show. Saban has always gone with the backup of the predecessor. Saban could very well break this trend, but I will believe it when I see it.

He played with the best QBs of the Saban era. He didn't play with Coker or McElroy for crap's sake.

He needs to get his shite together before the playoffs start.

Guys don't forget every time we run a jet sweep its considered a catch because we toss the ball forward. So the stats are padded for Ridley and Stewart. And for Coker for that matter.

This is very true.
