Personality or not he's one of the top 5-7 players at his position.

What has CC done LATELY?????

Davis was a factor in just about every game he started. Cooley disappears for extended lengths of time. Trade, get a pick and move on.

Cooley had a broken ankle, genius.

Chris Cooley is a good football player, I look forward to seeing us scheme him up better. However, I do think he gets boosted because he's such a cool guy that people are in love with him. I'm not saying that Chris Cooley isn't a stellar TE. I'd say he's easily top half, most likely top 10 TEs in the league, but as skins fans we overrate him slightly because of his personality.

and b/c hes the only white guy playing a position of skill on the skins.

I definitely would not go in that direction...

no? im honestly not trying to start anything on here but come on? cooley's fame and jersey sales have nothing to do with him being a white guy with a fro? him being the only white player's jersey you can buy? (rabach doesnt count)

of course his production, personality and tenure on this team are bigger factors for his popularity but imo, his being white and playing a position of skill plays into his popularity amongst the mostly white skins home crowd.

Honestly, I don't see where his race has anything to do with his popularity. He's a good player with a fun personality. That's it.

Not really, I have a Portis jersey...plenty of Jordan/Pippens too. I even had a Doug Williams, Muggsy Bogues, and a Glen Robinson back in the day.

Come to think of it, outside of the #10 Skins jersey that came with my Hutch uniform when I was a kid in the mid 80s, I never had a white guy's jersey.

I don't consider skin color when buying jerseys...most people probably do not either (I'm hoping).

Portis is (was) exactly the same way back when he was playing well and I think they both were about the same in popularity. I loved Southeast Jerome and the rest, but man, bringing race into it is a huge stretch.

Just like Matty said, he has a hilarious personality and is a great TE. I don't care if he was purple.

I will digress after this, i promise.

Of all the skins games I have gone to, of all the skins jerseys i have seen people wearing . . .i have never seen a black chick wearing a cooley jersey while there must be 30,000 cooley jerseys piling into the stadium every home game. so thats a billion white chicks wearing cooley jerseys vs 0 black chicks wearing cooley jerseys that i have seen.

Im buying my girl a cooley jersey just to make it 1.

This is pure silliness, not even worth getting into.
