Joyner: Cooley underrated

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I'd take out Davis, LJ Smith, Dallas Clark and Winslow. Still though, when you look at that list compared to the sheer number of TEs in the league, that's only a FRACTION. Also, remember the TEs who are cut and never even saw a roster. Not that easily replaceable if you ask me.

You would take out Winslow? Really??? I mean the guys first year on the field ( after a broken leg and torn acl ) he had 90 cates. That is pretty damn impressive to me. And I don't care if Clev. didn't have any WR's cause he still had to get open. If you are catching that many balls you are consistently beating the LB's and DB's.

I think LJ Smith is a vey solid player and Clark would get alot more balls if he were in any other offense.

My judgment is reserved until I see that Winslow can do it again. Smith is solid, but again he's not great like Cooley. And Clark gets the balls he gets BECAUSE of the offense he's in. Any other team makes him less than good.

So you are saying Cooley is a great TE? I wouldn't say that quite yet. I wouldn't put him in Gates or Tony G. league quite yet. He could get there. But he ain't there yet.

Judging by Cooley's stats over the past few years, he's been constantly in the top five. So it's kind of like Gates and Gonzo and then there's a HUGE dropoff between them and people like Cooley, Crumpler and Witten?

Both you and Skinsfan69 have good points on Winslow. I don't know exactly how good he is, but theres no reason to think that he isn't going to be one of the best TEs in the league.
