? To me Paul struggled. He didn't show me enough to believe he has surpassed Cooley. I saw one good play and that was his TD catch on a corner end zone route. Otherwise hogwash.

Personally I think the team is trying to cut corners where they can and if they can get players who play different positions then they are happy. Paul can play WR in the worst case, can block as a TE, and plays Special Teams well. About the only think I like about him is his Special Teams ability.
