Sigh. Don't necessarily agree with Cooley here that the lockout cost him the season. He could've gone to James Andrews in the offseason to get a prognosis but he chose not to. Still though I understand why he would've wanted the comforts and opinions of working with the same doctor he's used to in the past, as they probably know his body more so than other doctors. Either way I hope he's healthy and ready for minicamp next year.

Well Laron Landry was also affected by the lockout, luckily it didn't cost him as much as it did with Cooley though.

All that while giving Fred Davis some playing time, cause you all know we didnt run any two TE sets last year, lol.

In short, he is a valuable commodity, definitely worth a 3rd rounder to some team, possibly a 3rd and 4th. I still think we should keep him though.

Oh, you meant that kind of productive. Well, yeah, he can probably bounce back to those levels.

He's got pretty much no chance of being the pro bowl level player he was in 2006-2008 though.

Lmao!!!! Cooley reaching, it the lock out fault..... Ugh No. Davis out played you, you didn't rehab right....... Let it go....... Next year your Fred's backup plan! Stop bitching, you got hurt by a corner, who hurts no one..... Tough break! ;-)

Sometimes football players need to be protected from themselves. Cooley shouldn't have played, but Shanahan also could have refrained from playing him. Doesn't matter who's ultimately at blame; both had some responsibility in not maintaining Cooley's health.

I would be hesitant to say out played. He's had a couple good catches in a couple of games. I would say he simply took over the reigns from an injured Cooley. I'm border line calling Davis a bust. This year he's dropped more balls then he's caught.

He has most certainly not had 28 drops, not in this world or any other. That is a massive stretch. And it's also amazing how we're not even a year removed from Cooley having a fine season and fans have already given up on him.

People may have forgotten Cooley was playing FB for a few games. Another reason why he may not have been in on the action as much.

I think people are just forgetting how injured Cooley is. They are acting like what we saw from Cooley in his limited action this year is what we can expect from him for the rest of his career, when that's probably not the case due to him being unhealthy.

Cooley's a baller. He'll heal up and come back with a.......chip on his shoulder.

SolidSnake84 · 10-27-2011, 09:08 PM

I had no idea that he has missed 20 games from injury over the past three seasons. I knew Cooley would get banged up a little, but I had no idea he had been out that much....

Which was ridiculous to say the least.
