It's good to hear he believes JC is close to being one of the best QB's in the league. Chubby, jittery hands? I guess Suisham didn't appreciate Placks holding skills. Maybe Hunter Smith will help him have a better season this year.

1. I think the Washington Redskins are going to have an outstanding season and win a ton of games. We've done everything a team can do in the offseason to get better. Jason Campbell is so close to being one of the best QB's in the league; he will have a great year. Note -- I have to say all this regardless, but it's nice to actually believe it.

Hope he's right!

I hope he is right, too. But you gotta like the confidence and positive attitude at this point.

Dreaming of revelry Matty? Kings of Leon kick ass!

I really hope he is right. I like that he actually believes in the team.

Cooley, along w/CP, is one of the faces of the franchise & a fan favorite. Given that CP has issues w/Zorn (or at least has had them) & Jansen is gone, look for Cooley to be more of a leader/spokesman. I don't mean in any visible way on the field, other than by playing well, but more so in public.

Can't be anything other than positive at this point. It demonstrates leadership on his part that he's boosting his qb.

I just read the whole article - Man, Cooley can write! I expected it to be gramatically correct for the most part, but very basic stuff, i.e. I kinda expected him to write like the other players he's making fun of!

This piece is as well written as many satirical newspaper columnists work, and those guys are paid to do it every week. Good job Cooley!

redsk1 · 07-13-2009, 10:50 AM

Cooley is a crazy dude but he never disgraces the franchise. That's what so unique about him. Good to have him on the skins. Yes, w/ Tony Gonz and Witten it's going to be tough for him this year. He stands to have a great year though.

MTK · 07-13-2009, 10:57 AM

Yeah he makes a good point about the Pro Bowl. The NFC is suddenly stacked at TE.

FRPLG · 07-13-2009, 10:57 AM

Who would have thought our goofball TE out of Utah State would end up becoming such a name player? God if we ever got deep into the post season he'd become a household name.

I am pretty sure they have someone help him write it.

Is it just or from now until about Week One it seems like there is this unreal amount of hype. They get me every year and is probably why when they start losing I get so pissed. I know they are never going to be like we suck this year don't bother watching but the over the type hype just gets old. I wonder if the hype is is this big in Oakland or KC oe someplace where you know they are going to suck.

I agree that cooley is a surprisingly capable writer. I like how he organized the article and to be honest it reads like a Bill Simmons article (which i suppose is a complement considering that Simmons does that for a living).

Well, we would have gone to the second round if he hadn't dropped that pass against the Seahawks a few years ago

But I still love Cooley. Definitely one of my favorites and cut from the same cloth as Riggins.

Cooley is awsome, its nice to see that there are still intellegent people left in the NFL. That they're not all losers and thugs.
