Plz read my post.


Most Bama fans will say that he didn't have a good game against LSU bc of drops. We will agree; However, he has had a wonderful year. He has lead our offense very well. This year in CFB every team is flawed. So, is Bama.

It is comical that Alabama fans think Amari is the greatest receiver ever just because their coaching staff acts as if he is the only receiver on their team and tries to get the ball to him and him alone. Auburn's 2nd leading receiver has twice as many yards as Alabama's 2nd leading receiver and Auburn's 3rd leading receiver even has more yards than Alabama's 2nd leading receiver


They do it because he's good. It's not magic. You do get that, right? A team can throw 50 passes a game at an okay receiver and that receiver isn't going to suddenly look like the best player in the country. They throw at Cooper because he's fast, he runs excellent routes, and he's good at finding the open field after catching. If anything, the fact that they throw to him so much that opposing teams know what's coming and still struggle to stop him is proof of his ability.

If that's the case, it's comical that AU couldn't stop him.

He is - LSU showed that a good defense can shut him down. Auburn's defense is just terrible.

LSU fans talking mess about him: he leaves Bama undefeated against LSU.

LSU fans are so delusional. He had the worst game of the season with drops and still had 83 yards and a touch.

I guess that counts as shutting someone down for LSU this year, though.

Better luck next time.

Our secondary sucks. Why is that a revelation to anyone at this point in the season?

Nobody ever said he wasn't a good player. However, I firmly believe Sammie Coates and Duke Williams could both put up similar numbers in a similar offense. Sammie Coates had over 900 yards receiving last year playing on a team that barely had two thousand yards passing for the entire season

Let's not forget, Cooper torched AU while wearing a brace on his knee.

It's easy to want to try to get the ball to him knowing he is gonna be open for the td on nearly every double move he makes on a d.

Hell, he is a beast on the slant, screen, and everything.

He caught to hail marys over our terrible secondary. He'll be used for fly routes in the pros. He's no AJ Green or megatron.

Are you new to football? A game plan and scheme are created to help the team win, mainly at the discretion of the coaching staff. It doesn't mean they think any less of a player just because they decide to play him like any other player.

It's my firm opinion that the gameplan was idiotic, and I would have said that beforehand, but it is what it is.

There's a reason teams didn't always stack the box against Auburn in 2013. Was it because they thought our rushing game was just like anyone else's? No, they knew Auburn could beat them other ways.

You're comparing him to NFL stars including 1 HOF player? You're right. However, at this stage, Cooper is amazing. The sky is the limit for this kid. If he continues to grow he can be better than AJ. I won't say he is better than Megatron, but who is?

Congrats, it's really not anything special. Everyone torched our defense in the second half of the year, and Amari Cooper had the pleasure of getting matched up against John Mincy again...the same guy he torched in 2013.
