Amari Cooper

He's been absolutely dominant against opposing defenses so far this season and is gaining steam in the Heisman talks. What are your thoughts?

He is a great talent obviously.

 

But they have played four pretty mediocre teams. If he keeps it up against the meat of that schedule, he will be in the conversation.

 

But if Larry Fitzgerald could not win the Heisman in 2003, I am not sure a receiver ever will.

Guys a stud.  Not sure about the heisman, but he'll be a star at he next level.  I'd say i'd like to see him in teal, but i see no chance of us going WR in the first round.

I agree. Although I wish he was a bit bigger. He's listed at 6'1 so that really means he's 5'11.

He's not overly physical. but he's freakishly fast. He reminds me a bit of Sammy Watkins.


10 years ago we had Bob Hope, Johnny Cash, and Steve Jobs..... Please don't die, Kevin Bacon.

I like the avatar.  I can't wait until Johnny Clipboard is Johnny Out of NFL.

He's a stud no doubt. However, I am not so sure he will be as good as Green, Megatron, or Julio Jones at the next level.

Sort of amazing that he and Bridgewater were on the same high school team.

Tim Brown and Desmond Howard were WRs that won the Heisman.

 

It'll be rare, but I believe another WR will win the Heisman.  Not this year, though.

 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

Strictly receiver. Brown and Howard were both elite returners.

He's probably more Hopkins than Sammy. He's faster than Hopkins, but he wins at the catch point just like him.

Given that distinction...yes, it is even more unlikely that a WR will win the Heisman.  But that wasn't specified earlier.

Didn't Marqise Lee put up similar numbers under this Kiffin system at USC?

We just need better backups. I think we are set for the next 4-5 years with Shorts, Sanders, Lee, Robinson, and Hurns. The fact that we never cut Blackmon means if he ever gets his head out of beer cans, there is still a chance he will be put back on the active roster. I see no reason for Jaguars fans to want Cooper knowing other positions are bigger needs to fix.

I don't think anyone in this thread has mentioned that.

M. Lee did the same thing with Kippen as his coach. Was Lee a Heisman candidate that year? College football can hide talent sometimes or bring a false idea that someone is good. I believe in Coopers case  he is talented. Can he block though.

 

I guess thats picky. We will find out in a couple of days.

Cooper is better than Lee at pretty much everything. Less body-catching, better route-running, willing run-blocker, better short-area quickness, more willing to fight for/high-point the ball.
