I don't want to come across as overtly insulting so I won't explain what conspiracy means, or post a definition.
There's two different issues, which are intertwined. One is why Paul sees the field on offense? The other is why Cooley hasn't gotten more looks?
I tend to think Cooley should get more looks, like split targets with Lunch Pail. More strongly though, I don't see any evidence that Paul deserves to play on offense...anywhere.
To the last thing, yeah I still seriously doubt Shanahan will take us anywhere. Still happy to be wrong about it if things really come together, and I love wearing my Skins apparral right now btw. But no, I don't think Mike's going anywhere. My intuition is he's done just enough to keep his job into next year, and maybe even turn the team over to his kiddo afterward. I don't think we'll ever be a real contender with a Shanahan as HC, OC etc for myriad reasons that have been long debated here. I think better coaching prospects will be available next year, and the year after.
I don't mind being the minority in this regard, in part because I find the pro-Shanny posts/posters pretty amusing :)
Man, it must be tough to be you over the past month or so. Your Shanahan hate will not abate (hey, that rhymes), and there's just nothing that'll change that. Apparently ever. Too bad, your problem, though.
Obviously Paul hasn't produced, even with the little action he's seen. But just maybe his coach sees something in practice that, as a young guy, he could replicate in games. Like catching the ball. Turn Paul around though, you'll have a tough (we know that from ST) tight end, with speed that Cooley could only dream about even in his best days. So just maybe they're trying to develop a player. Think of the concept!
And tell me again how my posts make no sense, you make my day!
