NoCalMike Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I basically made this point earlier in the season...but yeah it still holds true. Fred Davis isn't bad, and I think if Cooley was gone, and Davis stepped into his position, he would be adequate, I don't think just because he is "faster and more athletic" that it would automatically translate into more or even the same amount of production. We've seen plenty of players in the league, who are fast and athletic, yet it doesn't translate to being a FOOTBALL PLAYER. Cooley is a gamer, the dude is a rock. He is pretty much the only guarantee right now on offense. There is a reason Cooley is on crucial downs, and the one catching TD passes. This is Fred Davis's third year in the league, and Cooley is in a new offense right along side him. The excuses for Fred Davis are just about over. So far he has been a "one big potential play a game" type of player, which is exactly what you would expect from a non-premiere/2nd/backup Tight End, but not your starter. If the coaches thought Fred Davis was better than Cooley, I am sure he would have found his way onto the field more by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyLeeGhostHunter Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Cooley is actually a decent blocker, which Fred Davis is not. I'd like to get the pick(s) but Cooley is almost invaluable for what you'd get for him (2nd rounder at best). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishtw Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 On a day where I've heard trade talks about DT, Fletch, Andre Carter and the always looming Fat Albert trades talks pfft. I think Davis would do fine (not as good as Cooley but good enough) but in the FA era its rare we to draft a pro-bowl caliber player, have that player be a fan favorite, and spend his entire career with the same team. Trading Cooley and possibility getting DT, Jason Campbell, or M. Kelly in return...no thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Yes, I'd still be willing to trade Chris for the right offer. And I'm also prepared to be criticized for taking that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAfan47 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Where did this come from any ways?... We are in week 4 and there talks about trading one of our best weapons on offense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Team Ever Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 If the market is anything like last year we wouldn't get anything for Cooley....Holmes for 5th /: McNabb for 2nd /: Also a few other headscratchers that I can't recall right now. There's also a lot of good TE's right now. With the draft being such a crapshoot I don't quite understand teams trading away good veterans for later round picks unless just for dumping salary. I'm not very sure what we could get for Cooley but maybe a 3rd? I'd maybe trade Cooley for a 1st but I defintely wouldn't putting Chris Cooley on the trading block.

GoDeep81 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 No way I'd want to gamble with basicaly the only offensive (td catching) weapon we have at the moment.. Bring Davis along further and maybe we'll talk, but only if it includes a proven weapon in trade, PLUS a good pick.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddub52 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Right now Id only consider trading Cooley for a player not a pick. If we could get a top 10 RB or other top offensive weapon Id consider it. Davis led our team in TDs last year. He is good enough to fill in IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mike Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 One more point about Davis. I believe that incomplete McNabb pass to him was not McNabb's fault. He was leading him as he did Cooley but for some reason Davis just stopped. But to the point of the thread good luck getting the people who wanted to trade Cooley to reply.

skinsrbeast Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 maybe im a homer, maybe its stupid .... but IMO some players like cooley just shouldnt be traded and i would never support cooley being traded I feel way to loyal to him and would hate to see him in any other uniform he is a competitor, a personality, and a consistent player on a team that has been anything but consistent. i wouldnt trade chris cooley for a first round pic, because even first rounders arent guaranteed to be talented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was leading him as he did Cooley but for some reason Davis just stopped. Yea, I think if he'd of been covered, he'd of caught the ball.. (Or had a better shot at catching it) He was so wide open he turned around to face the qb, lost his momentum, and wasnt able to catch up to the pass..

Madison Redskin Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 This is Fred Davis's third year in the league, and Cooley is in a new offense right along side him. The excuses for Fred Davis are just about over. So far he has been a "one big potential play a game" type of player, which is exactly what you would expect from a non-premiere/2nd/backup Tight End, but not your starter. I love Cooley, but don't **** on Davis. After Cooley went down last year, Fred Davis caught for 41 balls for 463 yards and 6 TDs. That projects to 66 passes for 740 yards and 10 TDs over a 16 game span, which is pretty similar to Cooley's best season. Oh, and he was in his second year....often staying in to help All-World LT Stephon Heyer block......had Jason Campbell throwing the ball to him....and Jim Zorn running the offense. How many "non-premiere/2nd/backup Tight Ends" do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OuterBanksTarHeel Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I don't know why people keep bringing this one up. Cooley is not going to yield a first or even second round pick. Why, then, would you trade him for a third? Makes no sense. He's not a good trading piece because he's stuck somewhere between being a valuable member of the team and organization and not good enough to yield enough value to compensate for his loss. It's not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many "non-premiere/2nd/backup Tight Ends" do that? This is good point. Overall Cooley is the better player, but Davis presents hands down mistmatches with LBs. Davis is the better receiver and Cooley just better overall for what you need your TE to do. It's a good problem to have. If we had another WR we could do more from 2 TE sets.

Blackest Eyes Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I wouldn't want to trade our one reliable offensive weapon. If there were more reliable guys, I would entertain the though. But right now, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail_Skins Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Trade Cooley!?!?, he is a important part of this team, I dunno, he may not be the best, but he is a true Redskin in my eyes. He is the kind of player that should end his career in Washington! You people are cRazY! is loyalty dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TE#80 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 What i'm still wondering is why hasn't Fred Davis been worked into the lineup as a slot reciever. He doing no good sitting on the bench. Recieving is a strength of his, and with the weakness of the recieving core it seems like an obvious transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
