Was Cooper washed up or was it our OC didn't know how to use him ?

 

Inquiring minds want to know

Maybe both? 

[blacklabel]

He doesn't seem like a processy kinda fella...talented tho. Don't know if Beane would be in on him. 

[ProcessTruster]

This franchise has a great thing, a truly great thing going, and they would bring a complete a-hole like him in? 

 

 If you're are going to bring that cancer in, While you're at it, just bust Aaron Hernandez out of the pen and get rid of Kincaid. 

 

 Insanity.

Maybe. I think he’s super talented but he struggled to keep it together for a national championship team at Georgia. He may just be crazy. 

And that is 100% a possibility. If he wants to win, he'll change. He also literally JUST turned 24 man.

Well, he's dead. 

 

Also, Pickens is 24 and has never played with a good QB and his coach never killed his attitude. It would be a gamble for sure but upside is WILD.

Pickens makes this team better end of story. Maybe he just needs a change of scenery and QB vs what is going in PIT. 

[BuffaloBillies]

Ugh. No. He's the worst. Yes, great player but I'm not even sure I could pull for him in a Bills uni. Not likeable AT ALL for many reasons. Terrible teammate, culture-crusher. Stay away.

[Fan in Chicago]

We had this debate a couple of months back. I still think he doesn't put in effort every down and loses concentration on the field often. Don't want a player with those traits on the Bills. 

[NickelCity]

He's a total lunatic. He's also really good. 

[JoshAllin]

Isn't this the guy who wants the ball thrown to him 24/7. I don't see how he fits into the group and group chemistry. And which WR will get pushed aside for him?

If the Steelers give up on a talented WR, you should avoid at all costs

I would say this. If Mike Tomlin gives up on dealing with you, it should be a giant red flag to any other team.

As long as it's not Shakir I'm not that fussed about which WR gets pushed aside for him, to be honest.

 

The wish to receive every throw is more of a concern, if true, and something Beeane, McDermott and perhaps even Brady and Josh would have to talk to him about before agreeing any kind of trade.

Would the Steelers take a 4th for Pickens and if so would you do it?

 

 

Absolutely?

Ummm, who's going to tell him?

Making jump balls a larger part of our game is not my first idea about how to get better.... For all the Pickens love there's not much difference between his game and Coleman's game.

 

I'm guessing you haven't watched Pickens much?

His success rate gathering in jump balls has to be out of this world.

Yeah, Pickens is the guy who would stop putting effort if he wasn't getting the ball. So they'd basically have to go all in on and build the offense around him, which is unrealistic with the weapons they already have

[Pre1236]

Aaron Hernandez was cremated which means we couldn’t even hope for his zombie on this team. 

[Alphadawg7]

I wouldn't be against it...he is a talent...especially if it's a day 3 pick.  

 

HOWEVER - From what I seen, it seems pretty doubtful this guy is a culture fit here.  I mean it seems like the main reason he is available is because he has had effort and attitude problems.  He has been in Tomlin's dog house several times.  And he doesn't seem like a guy who would be happy/content in a system that isn't feeding him the ball like a lead WR.  

 

So I remain skeptical Bills would be interested personally...
