Do you have Coops stats to compare? I would like to see the actual #s.

Both are really good, whether Ridley will have better stats will depend largely on who his QBs end up being and the OC.

I love Ridley and am thrilled he plays for us. That said, how about this stat:

Ridley - Date of Birth Dec. 20, 1994
Cooper - Date of Birth June 17, 1994

When Cooper was a FR at Bama in 2012, he was 18 years old. Ridley as a FR at Bama is 20 years old. You are basically trying to compare a 20 year old Ridley to an 18 year old Cooper. Not fair for Cooper, but he actually comes out ahead in that analysis.

Look at what Cooper did when he was a developed 20 year old college kid. Now compare that to Ridley as a developed 20 year old college kid.
