What's the point of yards if they don't result in TDs. It's only a .4 difference but considering you can't realistically score 3000 TDs but instead 30 TDs it is still a significant difference

Yards have always been the more important statistic when dealing with Wide receivers and running backs. It is disingenuous to think differently.

Do not you realize that since a player can rack way way more YDS than TDs the differences are so much different.
A ONE TD diffrence (1.4 TD more instead of .4) would've given Cooper 70 career TDs which would've shattered the NCAA career record. That's unrealistic. The smaller the number the smaller the average and this difference will be. So yes a .4 TD difference is rather significant. There's also a reason Cooper went with the 4th pick and Reed went in the 2nd RD.

None of those NFL players listed had comparable stats to Julio. Reed and Cooper had comparable numbers and similar years. Look I do think Reed should be higher but Cooper is better.
