2) Regarding Jacobs freak accident/injury during his rookie season, it caused him to only miss 1/4 of his rookie season. He was on the sideline and ready to play for most of the other games that year. IMO Jacob just did not show enough in practice to earn a starting position and displace another starting WR. 3) Correct me if I am wrong, are you saying Jacobs was/is Ramsey's favorite target? When last season did Jacobs become Ramsey's favorite target? I must have missed that memo. It seemed clear to me that L. Coles and Cooley were Ramsey's favorite targets last year. 4) Regarding who's job it is to get Jacobs more involved: A player has to earn his starting position. It is Jacobs #1 responsiblity to be in shape, stay healthy and EARN a starting job. I am not sure why you are blaming Gibbs? It was not Gibbs fault Jacobs missed almost all of 2004 preseason due to minor injuries. It was not Gibbs fault that Jacobs could not even crack the starting line up the year before under Spurrier. Spurrier ran the same system Jacobs played in college. Jacobs came in at a clear advantage in knowing the system better than any other WR on the roster. Still he could not earn a starting spot. I am not seeing that he is ready to explode. He plays well in non-contact practices. Big deal. So did Trung Canidate. |

Re: w/o of next year
Jeezus. No way am I taking away from what Cooley did last year. I thought he played great and he quickly became one of my favorite players on the team. I'm just laying it out as I see it.
I just don't see how I was "knocking" him. Oh well, I guess some things just get taken COMPLETELY out of context.

Some drafted as low or lower than Cooley. San Diego Charger - Antonio Gates was not even drafted. He was an undrafted rookie that was the starter on the AFC 2004 Pro Bowl team. Jason Witten - Cowboys - was drafted in the thrid round (just like Cooley) and was on the 2004 NFC Pro Bowl team. |

Re: w/o of next year
A quick comparison of rookie years:
Witten: 35-347-1 Gates: 24-389-2 Cooley: 37-314-6 Let's see if he can make the same jump in his 2nd year. Probably not simply because I don't see Cooley becoming a focus of the offense, but I can see him catching 50+ balls in 2005. You never know though, looking at his numbers when Ramsey took over he had 27-227-4. He was clearly a go-to guy for Ramsey. |

Re: w/o of next year
I think Pro Bowl will be hard for him. They list him as a fullback on the roster, his forte isn't exactly his blocking. I doubt the guys that choose the pro bowl players will be inclined to take him over a big blocking FB.

You only heard 1 or 2 state that it takes nominally 3 years for a WR to develope? Obviously you haven't been around here that long. I will correct you, McCant's has been Ramseys favorite target, the reason it wasen't clear to you is because as I stated he was inactive all year, but the previous year it was clear that when McCants was given field time Ramsey continually hooked up with him, it is also why he led the team in TD's, that is why everyone here was so exited when we resigned him, it is also another reason why we did resign him. It is also the reason most here would like to see us draft a big WR because Ramsey seems to like the big target's ALA Cooley, but I guess I had to spell it out for you, McCants! Jacob's was not inactive most of the season. As for Jacobs, I will spell it out for you again, he had a freak life threatening injury in the last pre-season game which caused him to mis the first half of the season, Jacobs was deactivated for 8 games and questionable when he tried to come back for some other and didn't see much if any field time because SS was a little reluctant to use him because he still wasen't quite 100% and given the nature of the injury he held him out of the games even though he dressed. How many WR's do you know that can mis basically the first half of the season and then just step in and produce while being deactivated the last 3 games of the season? My question to you is, what has Gardner done to earn a starting position other than being drafted #1? That's right 50/50, you know the cute little nickname his own teamates gave him. Next question, what did Brunell do to earn or keep his starting position? And please don't tell me they fought their gut's out! I do believe I have heard Gibbs praising Jacobs and saying he needs to take a better look at him, can't say the same for Gardner anymore. I never heard Bailey telling people that Gardner was 1 of the toughest recievers for him to cover, that honor belongs to Jacobs, it's tough to see how Jacobs could have fallen through the cracks last year with that big time air attack we threw at everyone, our recievers are jumping ship faster than life boats off the titanic and Gibbs isn't acountable? |

Re: w/o of next year
Wychek was a H-back but he made the Pro Bowl for TE, didn't he?
I think for some reason they just had Cooley listed wrong last year. If you look him up on NFL.com he's under the TE category now. |

If that is the case. That is my bad. Sometimes I get a little on the mentally handicapped side.
