Best depth we've ever had at TE, sit on it FFS.
You don't keep 2 starters at the same position on your team. It serves no purpose. It's all about acquiring resources and other needs for the surplus you have. The good teams do it, bad ones do not. Buy low, sell high.

Unless you have salary cap issues having two starters in one position is like having a full bag of Skittles and a full bag of Jumior Mints at the same time. You will find a way to use both and you will be damn glad you did.
(and yes I realize Junior Mints come in a box)

Does this philosophy work when your starring qb or left tackle or center goes down for the year?

you do realize there has been one game of PRESEASON football played thus far and you are saying cooley is done and davis is our starter and we must trade cooley and go with fred davis next year. as long as i haven't missed anything there was only one preseason game thus far, so let's take a second pump the breaks and relax. lets atleast wait until mid season before we have the cooley/davis bs going on yet again. if this happens to come up further down the road then lets talk about it but for christ sake we are dicussing trading cooley after one preseason game he didn't play in.
No, were discussing who we'd rather have next year when we have to choose between the two. If Cooley were healthy it would still be an issue: we can only keep one of them and cooley is older, less talented, and unfortunately becoming injury prone. Going Davis over Cooley in 2012 is a no-brainer.

Why on earth would Davis resign here to play second fiddle to Cooley when he'd be starting on any other team?

For the last time. We are not trading Cooley.
That's my only gameday jersey.
Therefore Cooley is untouchable.
finally! a solid arguement.

I'm still pissed off that we got rid of Gus and Champ. Now what am I suppose to do with these jersey's?

again only one preseason game so far and your set with davis as our starter for next year already? and it's a no brainer? seriously pump the breaks man why don't we atleast see what happens in the first half of this year, who knows if davis even stays healthy. chosing our starters for next year before this season has even started is extremly mind bottling

Mind bottling? Is that like being a hatter? We've been talking about Davis as a potential replacement for Cooley since he was drafted in 2008, it's not like this talk is in any way grounded in one preseason game like you keep mentioning. Unless we franchise him, Davis is gone after this year unless he's our starter.

yeah, mind bottling. you know, when things are so crazy it gets your thoughts all trapped, like in a bottle?
it just seems early to start the debate is all i'm saying, cooley is going nowhere anytime soon and as of right now he has zero trade value. it's just funny to me how people like to predict or decide what we should do as a team a season ahead of time rather than taking a seat back and seeing how things pan out. kinda reminds me of this game i heard of before...
