Not sure whats funny.


I find your posts funny Adam.

quote:

Separation ability is ability to find holes in Zone coverages and create separation at the top of your route in Man coverages and Landry does this better than Cooks and it isn't really arguable.


You're right, it isn't arguable. Cooks is in an entirely different world when it comes to creating separation. Big reason why Cooks doubled up Landry's touchdowns in just the last 8 games while absolutely blowing him away in ypc. Landry has the luxury of having other receivers create a route umbrella for him, and it matches his skillset.

Landry isn't even used over the top because the dolphins know it isn't strength for him.

Any other team and a majority of our own fanbase would take Landry over Cooks. Anyways I am done arguing this.

frick it I said I was done but I'll bite. Couldn't resist. Completely disagree on separation ability but whatever. I mentioned a bunch of other traits you never addressed. As for stats, I hate anything with WRs involving stats because of their situation as one of the two was with Payton and Brees and the other Tannehill and a shite show of a coaching staff. As for Landry's YPC, he gets a decent amount of WR screens which he turns into productive plays but will lower his YPC. Anyway I am not talking stats I am talking about ability. Cooks is obviously the better player in the 3rd level but Landry is better in 1st and 2nd. Drew Brees would do much better with a player like Landry over Cooks because to me he is one of if not the best QBs at using the 1st and 2nd level. I am not saying Cooks is a bad player like some of the people in here; I am saying he was not a 1st round pick and better players went after him i.e. Landry.
