This could be argued 100 different ways but there is no escaping the ole time will tell philosophy. After two weeks, I would most certainly rank Cooper above Dural without question. Now by season end this could change drastically

25 catches is a known quantity. It can be replicated and shows he will be there for first downs and yards

This shows that y'all can complete an arse load of WR screens and quick slants against inferior competition. FWIW, I believe at this point that Cooper is the more proven receiver not necessarily better.

Right now, it's Cooper and I don't think there's any arguing that. But Cooper has age and experience on Dural. Unfair to compare two guys not on the same level right now. Dural has time to close the gap between them but we'll have to wait until they are each a few years into their NFL careers to know for sure.

I didn't know Arkansas and Wisconsin moved to the FCS.

Anyway this is a dumb pissing match.

All that matters is both Bama and LSU have VERY good skill players.

LSU has a deep ball threat again and should make teams pay attention because Dural is very fast. Likewise, cooper is very good in space. Quite possibly even more dangerous if the D is out of position.

Pretty sure the 3 TDs he mentioned were the 3 Dural had against Sam Houston State.

So, do you think Dural is better? Because no matter how many TDs he caught, you can't say he's better after 13 career catches. Coop caught that many passes in one game yesterday. Coop has been hyped as a first round pick since his Freshman season. Coop is one of the best deep threats in CFB (early results for Dural look good).

I wanna clarify. I think Dural is gonna be really good. But right now there it is unfair to not just Cooper, but Dural as well, to put his name in the same sentence as Coop's. You're setting up Dural to fail, and that pisses me off.

I've never been impressed with Cooper. His stats are only so high because he is basically the only WR on bama's offense. Cooper has 25 catches this season while the next guy only has 5. Of course he probably would be a lot better if bama had a decent QB.

Everyone else in the country, NFL scouts included, have been extremely impressed with Coop.

We had THREE other receivers last year catch at least 32 balls. One was drafted in the fourth round and has had nothing but good things said about him from out of the practices he's been apart of.

The next guy has 6. That is DeAndrew White. He had 6 vs WVU in a half and a little of the 3rd quarter, then he got hurt. He probably gets 10 vs WVU if he finishes the game. Then who knows how many he catches if he played yesterday? He'll be back for Florida.

Jones/White are both proven commodities.

Didn't cooper suck arse last year?
He's been a bubble screen machine this year. Dural has looked good but he's the only wr being thrown to so far same as cooper.
Both will have big numbers because of this and neither will be NFL stars
