[QUOTE=Mattyk72]Not sure I'm following your logic, why should it matter where he lines up as far as catches go?[/QUOTE]

Because we want (ideally) to compare apples to apples. The HB position complicates that comparison because Cooley gets receptions a TE wouldn't get. If a HB gets 10% of his receptions while lined at WR, that "inflates" his TE reception statistics. It's not a true apples-to-apples comparison.

However, like I said, I'm not sure that it makes a difference. Just food for thought.

According to D'BOYZ Witten lines up all over the place like Cooley, so I guess it's a closer apples to apples comparison than we thought.

Cut it any way you want, I'd still take Cooley over Witten.

I might also add, I think Cooley would have a less difficult time adjusting to playing a pure tight end role than Witten would having to play H-Back.

But as far as being a pure football player goes, both guys are tough as nails!!

Agreed - I was just responding to your post, which all occurred before D'BOYZ post.
