Better question.

Who will have a better NFL career out of Cooper, Jarvis Landry, or Odell Beckham.

I say Cooper

It depends on who drafts Cooper, honestly.

I haven't seen Dural yet but I thought Cooper was scary fast two years ago and an NFL lock. I still think that. Hard to argue against Dural's stats, but we'll see how he does against better competition. We already know the answer to that with Cooper.

Yep. It all depends on what team gets him. Just don't let it be the Giants or the Cowboys because their qb's suck

It depends if said jock strap was thrown on a screen or hitch.

Nobody is sleeping on Cooper. He is a known commodity.

Dural is so much better than we thought he was, it's scary. I knew he had first round speed, but I had no idea he had the freakish hops and the strength. LSU threw to two receivers last year, this year it will be four with elite talent, and I'm guessing Dural has nowhere near the number of receptions of Cooper.

Regardless, there are some scary good receivers in the SEC this year, these two are just the start.

Dural is on his way to being a top tier wr, nationally. It's crazy to think how stacked our wr corps have been. Dural was behind Odell and Jarvis last year

We stacked

That game Dural had 1 reception for 6 yards and 1 TD. He sure did embarrass the hell out of us as we glided to a 21 point win.

You were trying to say Dural only makes plays against Sam Houston's of the world.

He proved you to be wrong and now you act like a bitch.

You do realize you look stupid right now?

The message I was responding to was: But Travin is faster, hands are better, jumps higher, and is more explosive.

Last season Dural had 7 catches for 145 yards-- the vast majority of which came against Kent State, Arkansas, and State.

Where are the performances against quality competition that lend support to him being faster, having better hands, being able to jump higher, and being more explosive than Cooper? Cool, you found a 6 yard touchdown pass, but that doesn't even come close to the portfolio of quality plays Cooper has made in which he's demonstrated his good hands and athleticism.

So do YOU realize how stupid you look thinking you can post a single picture as if it validates that ridiculous claim with no rooting in reality?

Right. As the 3/4 receiver behind 2 guys that each went for 1,000 yards last year and were drafted onto NFL rosters. Also, he only has 6 receptions on the year right now for 4 TD's. So it sounds like his stats are pretty consistent given the context, no?

And you know nobody was actually arguing that he "embarrassed" Alabama last year, right? Go back and work on your reading comprehension and your sense of humor, Gump.

You pick, I'll take the other and we will likely both be happy.

Did you not watch us play at all the past 2 seasons? We made a living with that exact play and Amari Cooper.


Did I say Cooper wasn't a deep threat? No, I didn't. Don't be a bitch just because I think Dural MAY be a better deep threat type receiver than Cooper, and that's not a stretch considering what he has done in his last 3 games. Especially since I've already said Cooper is the better overall receiver.
