Julio Jones and Mark Ingram vs Amari Cooper and TJ Yeldon

Julio and Ingram have already proven what they can do at that level, so it takes a lot of guess work with the other tandem. But which one do you think ends up with the better careers?

I think Cooper will end up being a top wide out like Julio, but I don't think he'll have as great of a career as Julio's had. Ingram has caught on fire as of late. What sucks though, last year he just got a good rhythm going and then broke his hand. Hope he stays healthy.

Anyways, I'd say Julio and Ingram. Idk how good of a career Yeldon will have at Jacksonville and how much improvement Jacksonville will have over the years. And Cooper's career depends solely on how well Carr progresses.

Amari Cooper and Jalston Fowler is the correct answer.

i thi k coop will surpass julio just by staying healthier. julio gets injured basically every year and misses games. i think cooper will be way healthier and surpass him easily.

as for tj, i think hes hit n miss. 3 maybe 4 year fairly pedestrian nfl rb career

Cooper was a superior receiver to Julio in College. Who is to say he won't be in the NFL?

I get the premise of the question but the answer is determined by the WR, neither RB is going to set the NFL on fire. As much ad I like Cooper I don't see him having near the career that Julio will have. Julio is just on a different level "physically" and that's not a knock on Coop. JJ is that way with 90% of WRs. He is just a beast and when all is said and done he will end up a HOF first ballot type of player. Plus, he has a very good QB throwing him the ball and an offense that will showcase his skills.

I think you hit the nail on there head with that last sentence. The careers will play out as well as the team they are on. As of now, ATL and Nola are much better teams than Oak and Jville. Out of the four I think Cooper and Ingram and better respective players.
