Chris Cooley

Had someone made him a real offer, he would have signed. Bank on it.

This loyalty thing is way over rated when compared to cash on the kitchen table.

IMHO

“I’ve had offers,” he said. “I said to my agent, ‘You know what I want. And you don’t need to call me if it’s not something I want.’ I don’t have that much interest in the interest there is in me so far. If I could go somewhere and start, I’d probably do that. That’d be fun.”

Granted my memory was wrong, sort of. He said that he would consider it if a team offered him a starting position, but if it is not the case then he would not. While Redskins offered him a spot as back-up, he took it immediately. Which says something about loyalty, something that you thought it to be overrated. Although it might be overrated for almost all cases, but I think it's pretty obvious that Cooley really loves Redskins.

Cooley says he thinks it would take a significant injury for the Redskins to re-sign him (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2012/09/20/cooley-says-he-thinks-it-would-take-a-significant-injury-for-the-redskins-to-re-sign-him/)

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.

You'll see Cooley open and the ball forced elsewhere. Happened (again) in the Ravens game.

Why do think this is?

Because Paulsen is a little younger. But he's not better. But with the exception of Tony Gonzales, no other starting TE is still starting from the time they started in 2004. Not even Jeremy Shockey.

Was this before or after you watched the game?

Right. When the other TEs are in the game Bob is cool with getting them the ball but when CC is in the game he is trying so hard not to that he'll force it elsewhere. So not only is Shanny holding CC back he has a conspiracy with RGIII to do so.

Mike is clearly holding Cooley back.

:doh:

I mean, what's obvious is Mike/Kyle have left him out of the passing game. Instead, they work in Paul who drops passes, bobbles after the catch and doesn't get any YAC, etc.

Is there a meaningful difference between the statements?

Truly one of the dumbest posts I've ever read here. Do you not watch us play? Cooley is rarely targeted, but myself and others have seen him open. It's pretty simple. All the nonsense you added is just...nonsense.

and that means cooley should be

In place of Davis, yes he should be. Cooley lost his way when he ended up on IR two straight seasons. But it seems when he gets healthy and he's ready to play, he's all of a sudden not in this regime's plans even if he is still capable of contributing a great deal.

it's getting heated in here.

coo-ley! coo-ley! coo-ley!
