I'd take a healthy Amari Cooper over Beckham
Of course you would. OBJr is #2 in all of cfb in yards/ game. Cooper and OBJr are somewhat similar with OBJr being more versatile.
OBJr has more receiving yards through 9 games than Cooper had all of last year. I think Coop was injured a few games.
Honestly you couldn't go wrong with either.
IMO the top 5 Wrs in the sec are
Evans , OBJr, Landry , Cooper ( healthy) and Matthews.

We held Beckham in check with freshman and hurt DBs... Bama will lock him down
72 yards receiving for OBJr
And 110 for Landry is hardly stopping them.

Get the frick out of here

That's a solid top 5. Id agree

It's so ironic that you constantly berate people for being stupid

Receivers like Mike Evans are a dime a dozen.

Totes. Joe Morrow for one

I like how everyone conveniently judges Bama's secondary based on one game where our #1 CB got hurt and we started Fulton in the other spot. You won't see that same secondary tomorrow. Belue is healthy, and Saban has been playing the young, more talented CB's in the other spot. The young guys make an occasional mental error, but the talent is as good as ever. And the mental side is improving every week.

i love beckham but he not even the best reciever on his own team. You let him get behind you and your finished though. Better corner will hold mike evans. Just watch when he plays LSU.

You haven't been watching football very long have you?
Evans is a damn good receiver. He has good hands and is a mismatch because of his size. He's not as athletic as Beckham though. Beckham is faster, more agile, and has better hands. Evans is more physical and tougher to take down.

I don't see the comparison at all, though. Beckham is talented, to be sure, but Evans' success was, in part, a product of his physicality...and Beckham is not in the least bit similar to Evans in that regard.

I agree with the OP, he states that Beckham is more Talented than Evans which in essence he is, Beckham can hurt you in MORE ways than Evans can. PR/KR/WR and also on reverses. Beckham is a better route runner and that is not even close. While the only thing Evans has over Beckham is the physical mismatch he presents for CB's.

Evans is Jimmy Graham/Calvin Johnson, Beckham is more of a Eddie Royal/T.Y. Hilton

Let's put the homerism down for a sec. OK, now that we are talking realisticly.
Mike Evans > Every reciever in the SEC.
Other good recievers are
A. Cooper
O. Beckham
Dorial-Green Beckham
L. Washington
J. Mathews
S. Coates
J. Landry
D. Moncrief
L. Treadwell
I am sure I am probably missing some others but all these guys are good players. Lots of big time talent in the SEC.

Galvo-what is it that you disagree with what i said? Would you take Evans OVER Beckham as a kr/pr? If you watch Evans closely he runs horrible routes. So what do you not agree to in this statement?
Posted on 11/8/13 at 10:08 am to Itreallydoesmatter
I hear he can really bend it.
Posted on 11/8/13 at 10:09 am to TeamLSU
The OP did state that he's talking talent, that's true. But it's still an odd comparison.
Actually, if I wanted to possibly drive two fanbases nuts and spark a huge debate, I'd suggest that Evans would actually be a better fit for LSU, while Beckham would be a better fit for TAMU. Beckham needs more time than Evans simply because he works best in separation, which Manziel can provide. Evans would give LSU a legitimate threat to open up the short game (including blocking if necessary) that gives Mett -- less wriggly and more workmanlike than Manziel -- the luxury of a semi-quick release and a guaranteed 5-10 yards. Against tougher defenses, Mett hasn't had quite that luxury. Hill doesn't need much help, but it's easy to see how this would definitely benefit Hill as well.
