Nice footage of Daniels. Well, the good news is we now have a QB that can have the vision and actually make most of those throws. Campbell has an arm but just didn't have vision. Then again, his vision was limited to the turf as DE's flew past Heyer....

[quote=LandrySlice;700055]I hate to revisit this subject since I know it's not happening, but it would have been nice to traded cooley. Davis is so sick! I just dont know how we would use both. Although having a backup of that caliber is silly![/quote]

I COULDN"T AGREE WITH YOU MORE BOUT CC. Not really living up to it, falling into the overrated category to me. Also GET RID OF LeRON AS WELL.

Re: McNabb excited about TE opportunities
 

watched the texans colts replay on nfl network last night. while schaub did things i havent seen a skins qb do since todd collins came in 3 years ago (deliver the ball on time in tight coverage), that offense and the routes they were running really opened up room for each other.

it was amazing to see how a finely tuned team can execute a well designed offense.

Davis was a factor in just about every game he started. Cooley disappears for extended lengths of time. Trade, get a pick and move on.

Players tend to disappear when they have a season ending injury you know. And when he did play, he tended to disappear because he had to help out the ghost of an offensive line we had.

Just give it up dude.

Re: McNabb excited about TE opportunities
 

Chris Cooley is a good football player, I look forward to seeing us scheme him up better. However, I do think he gets boosted because he's such a cool guy that people are in love with him. I'm not saying that Chris Cooley isn't a stellar TE. I'd say he's easily top half, most likely top 10 TEs in the league, but as skins fans we overrate him slightly because of his personality.

Re: McNabb excited about TE opportunities
 

Personality or not he's one of the top 5-7 players at his position.

and b/c hes the only white guy playing a position of skill on the skins.

Re: McNabb excited about TE opportunities
 

I definitely would not go in that direction...

Re: McNabb excited about TE opportunities
 

no? im honestly not trying to start anything on here but come on? cooley's fame and jersey sales have nothing to do with him being a white guy with a fro? him being the only white player's jersey you can buy? (rabach doesnt count)

of course his production, personality and tenure on this team are bigger factors for his popularity but imo, his being white and playing a position of skill plays into his popularity amongst the mostly white skins home crowd.

Re: McNabb excited about TE opportunities
 

Honestly, I don't see where his race has anything to do with his popularity. He's a good player with a fun personality. That's it.

Not really, I have a Portis jersey...plenty of Jordan/Pippens too. I even had a Doug Williams, Muggsy Bogues, and a Glen Robinson back in the day.

Come to think of it, outside of the #10 Skins jersey that came with my Hutch uniform when I was a kid in the mid 80s, I never had a white guy's jersey.

I don't consider skin color when buying jerseys...most people probably do not either (I'm hoping).

Portis is (was) exactly the same way back when he was playing well and I think they both were about the same in popularity. I loved Southeast Jerome and the rest, but man, bringing race into it is a huge stretch.

Just like Matty said, he has a hilarious personality and is a great TE. I don't care if he was purple.

Re: McNabb excited about TE opportunities
 

I will digress after this, i promise.

Of all the skins games I have gone to, of all the skins jerseys i have seen people wearing . . .i have never seen a black chick wearing a cooley jersey while there must be 30,000 cooley jerseys piling into the stadium every home game. so thats a billion white chicks wearing cooley jerseys vs 0 black chicks wearing cooley jerseys that i have seen.

Im buying my girl a cooley jersey just to make it 1.

There is something to it but the effect is probably minimal. Lots of kids like to look for people that look like themselves when they start watching sports, which might have been the case with me and Cal Ripken when I was a kid. However that was more than likely just a product of of him being a great baseball player and me being an Orioles fan. I mean I also liked Art Monk a lot when I was growing up. Michael Vick's favorite QB as a kid wasn't Randall Cunningham, but Steve Young.

And I have to say that right now my favorite player on the Skins is easily Orakpo followed by McNabb and Daniels. Race might get you noticed for an extra two seconds if you're in the minority, such is the case of black guys who play hockey but in the end the thing fans care the most about is how you play followed closely by how you conduct yourself.

Re: McNabb excited about TE opportunities
 

I like Cooley a lot as a player. Off the field he's a great personality but Davis just seems like he has a nose for the end zone. Cooley has always been able to rack up receptions and yards but the endzone elludes him. He is consistent when he plays, a possession guy that QBs love to have as a safety blanket, I almost think JC would abandon his second and third reads and if the primary wasn't there he just started looking for Cooley sometimes. That's what a good possession TE gives you. Davis is a different player, he's faster, more dynamic, not an effective blocker but the zone scheme should help him in that regard. It's really a luxury to have these two guys, both talented but in very different ways.

Re: McNabb excited about TE opportunities
 

I think people are underrating Cooley just a bit. He's had down production the last two seasons, but he was getting about 6 TDs a season prior to that. That said, Davis is indeed the more athletic of the two.
