You never really hear him mentioned anywhere, besides here. And consistency? I know hes not 'perfect', but I think he needs to be used more consistentantly. Hes open on sooooo many plays its not even funny. The kid has a knack for getting open. And speaking of 'overrated', what does clark, witten or heap for that matter have and do that differently than Cooley? Just curious. And no I dont think you broke the sacred honor, but I do think your in the minority.

Oh boy. I knew I'd get into trouble with this one.
Cooley is a good player. I tend to think we as Skins fans heap just a bit more praise on him than he's probably worth, that's all. If you disagree, fine.
It's something I really can't pinpoint with numbers, as GMScud has taken the time to do -- I just don't think he has "it" yet. That's not to say he'll never get there. There were times last season when he appeared out of sync, didn't really have much of a presence on the field -- like he was lost here and there.
I don't think he's at the point where we can unequivocally say yes, he was worth two picks, and he's the greatest thing since spray-on butter.
