Not trolling or anything, but I wonder how good Cooper would be if he was in an offense that didn't have as good of a running game that Bama does.

It just seems like half of his TD's are a result of being wide open and running by his defenders on PA fakes.

Don't get me wrong though. Cooper is damn good for a freshman.

My thoughts.

Cooper's playing better than anyone right now probably.

I wish Bennett had been able to stay healthy. He was having a great season.

I got you all wrong then, because this is the dumbest shite I've ever heard. If you can't see the kids raw talent as an 18 year old...doing huge things in huge games...then I don't know what to tell you.

That really makes no sense whatsoever. Wel, that's not entirely true. I can see your train of thought, but your logic is flawed. If Alabama was more of a pass happy system, Cooper would receive more targets, more receivers would be running routes, and he would probably average more yards per game.

Being in a run-heavy offense, Cooper has less targets but more yards after catch.

Regardless of the offense, he makes the most of his catches. He would be a great receiver in any offense.

He reminds me a lot of how the Steelers use Mike Wallace. It doesn't necessarily make him any less valuable that he gets most of his yards on deep PA passes. The kid is fast as hell and is starting to even develop more of a possession receiver game as the season goes along.

Patterson is better right now IMO, but I would not trade anyone for Cooper other than maybe DGB considering that he is a true freshman.
