Riley Cooper would you want him

[TheRed]

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.

 

I'm not backtracking from anything. I'm not the one who made the asinine comparison between PhIlly's offense, and ours.

 

Ted Ginn is definitely on his level. Cooper had one good year, in Chip Kelly's offense. Let's not get carried away.

 

Anyways, we aren't going to agree, and you are just going to keep making it personal. Bye.

There is also the question of just how much his production in 2013 was due to playing in Chip Kelly's offense.

lock the thread

[LxDunn]

fug No!

[rayzor]

no players that can be a distraction or bring unneccessary and unwanted non-football attention to the team.

 

if a player comes with a media circua, i don't want him. cooper is likely to bring that.

 

i'm not going to label someone a racist because they make a racial comment while drunk, but when you let that poo out of your mouth for any reason, you've paved the way for people to believe that you are and that's going to carry some consequences if it gets out  you've got to own.

 

that said...racist or not, he's not going to be bringing positive vibes with him to whatever lockerroom he winds up in and i'd rather not that be ours. he might be good, but unity in the lockerroom is essential. the players might be cool/forgiving with him and realize that he was just caught in a weak and inebriated moment (not a justification for it) and not hold it against him, but i'd rather not find out.

[Gucci Mane]

Nope. He felt safe to be a racist around his white friends, he wouldn't have given what he did a second thought if he hadn't been caught on video.

 

Keep him away from this team.

 

you must be fun at parties

Was it still a big media circus later on in the season for the eagles or did it kinda blow over?

What exactly is "fun" about being a belligerent racist?

I made it personal when I was only looking at his football stats? Or were you making it personal when you want to only look at off the field things for players who might come here? One is being objective one is being personal. Let's see if you can actually tell the difference.

He was getting in fist fights in training camp with his own teammates over it. Several made it known they did not forgive him, but had to accept it, and move on for the sake of the franchise. I would hardly say it simply "kinda blew over". That's putting quite the spin on the situation.

If you honestly think that no GM in the NFL will consider that when looking at bringing him in, you are burying your head in the sand.

[332nd]

I'd be fine with it (depending on price) I got the feeling that he was hyped up, maybe a lil drunk and had an attack of the stupids. Should he come here, just have Smitty give him that stone face once or twice & no problem.

[MHS831]

No.

Here are my reasons:

 

We need a #1.

 

He is not one.

Reading comprehension must be hard for you huh? I said as the season went on. Training is the beginning the of the season. Where there any media outlets still reporting on the story during the season or when the made it to the playoffs? No one is trying to spin anything but you.

[Sloth]

Or we can look for another low to mid-tier WR who doesn't hate black folks instead.
