Riley Cooper would you want him

He put up big numbers against defenses like Oakland, and Green Bay, while playing in Kelly's offense. How impressive.

Ok? Then you can literally find excuses why no one in the nfl actually produced any real numbers. That argument is garbage. He had better numbers than all of our receivers. It's easy to see how bias you are in this thread.

Look up his game logs for yourself, and if you are going to resort to petty accusations, please don't bother quoting me, I haven't done so to you. Also, when you look at his numbers pay close attention to just how average they begin to look against better defenses.

We played ATL twice, Minn, and NE and they all had worse defenses than GB and Oakland. Not one of our receivers out up stats like coopers in those games. So are you going to continue to be bias or look at this objectively?

Are you seriously trying to make a comparison between their offense, and ours? Are my eyes playing tricks on me here?

Our you seriously trying to discredit a persons stats by doing logical gymnastics where it's ok for one guys numbers to be legit but for another guy it isn't? Because that's all I'm seeing you do.

You just tried to make a comparison between the #2 ranked offense in the NFL in 2013, and the #26th ranked offense.

Since when is Cooper the only guy catching passes in that offense, and since when does Philly not have McCoy playing RB?

You just called into question deckers stats not two pages ago. Anyone in a good offense obviously didn't get their numbers by skill. "Those are just fake stats"

Cooper is a better receiver than anyone outside of smith. That's fact.

Just because we have a dialogue about their statistics does not mean we are all saying they have no skill, don't be melodramatic. I like Decker, and Riley from a football standpoint, Decker doesn't have the other looming personal issues though. I disagree, Ted Ginn is comparable.

Ted ginn is no where near comparable. He had a good year yes but he has hands issues that have been with him his entire career. Cooper does not have those same problems.

You called both of their stats into question don't back track from that.

    • BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal. 
    • I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again. 
    • In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
