re: Amari Cooper

I'm not saying Amari's not a great receiver. But I've seen him drop lots of balls in traffic. Of course he's got a few catches with a guy or two on him, but Mike routinely had entire secondaries all over him and would come down with the ball. I'd take Mike any day with a double team over Amari, and if you were honest you would, too.

You said "he's not good in traffic or on jump balls". He is actually fantastic on jump balls and fine in traffic. He generally doesn't end up in traffic because he runs such amazing routes he gets himself open.

And yea, Mike Evans was incredible on jump balls. It was his calling card.

Mike Evans dissapeared in games, though. Cooper does not.

Evans 3 worst games (Power 5) in 2013
@ Ole Miss - 4 catches, 46 yards, 0 TD
@ LSU - 4 catches, 51 yards, 0 TD
@ Missouri - 4 catches, 8 yards, 0 TD


Coop's 3 worst games (Power 5) in 2014
@ Arkansas - 2 catches, 22 yards, 0 TD
@ LSU - 8 catches, 83 yards, 1 TD
MSU - 8 catches, 88 yards, 1 TD


I'd rather have Coop.
