So Cooley said this. Ok. In any case he doesn't seem to be able to unseat either guy he originally got cut for. That should tell us something.

If you're saying Davis or Paulsen, I would agree. Paul...I don't know. Although I guess b/c of his special teams play he (Paul) may have an edge.

Is your argument that he isn't slow and incapable of effectively getting open? If so, I'd like to know how you've decided this considering he doesn't really run routes anymore. Stop living in the past.
All TEs are not athletic like Fred Davis and Vernon Davis. TEs are not fast runners to begin with. That's how I decided this considering that Cooley doesn't run routes anymore. He doesn't run routes anymore because he's not in the game most of the time anymore. That's not saying that he can't. If his number is called, he surely could.
Cooley isn't the same player he was 3-4 years ago. Sorry to the Cooley kool-aid drinkers, but he's just not.

If the argument is that we should give Cooley a shot to see if he is better I can understand that. If the argument is some variation of "Cooley is better than this or that guy" then I think you're nuts because we haven't seen one iota of information to lead any of us to believe that.

Nor is he our only receiving option like he was in the pre-Shanny years.

Why do think this is?
Mike is clearly holding Cooley back.
