Fair or not, he hasn't lived up to the lofty expectations we all have for him.
Cooley on the other hand has proven to be an absolute steal. I think a QB's best friend in this league is a quality TE, and Cooley is definitely a top 10 TE. I think he's really in for a big year.
Also, taking into consideration the off the field issues of Taylor, his enigmatic behavior at times, vs. the fan-favorite type of personality that Cooley has, I'd probably push harder to retain Cooley over Taylor.

I think there is a strong case for Cooley - very strong. Like I said, I think the only guy I clearly take over Cooley is Gates.
