Why on earth would Davis resign here to play second fiddle to Cooley when he'd be starting on any other team?

ANY other team? Really? He has shown folks that he is THE BEST tight end in the NFL? [That is what it means to say he would start on ANY other team!]

Davis is a starting caliber TE. He would not leave here to be a backup anywhere else, therefore, any other team interested in his services would have him as the starting TE.

That is a VASTLY different statement than Davis could start for ANY other team.

In your re-formulated statement, Davis could be better than only 1 TE in the league who started last year to draw the attention of that one team who might want him to be their starter next year.

In your original statement, Davis had to be the best TE in all of the NFL for it to be correct.

For the record, there is no way on Planet Earth that Fred Davis is now or will be at the end of the 2011 NFL season the best TE in the NFL.

Could he be a starter for 10 NFL teams next season? Possibly.

Could he be a starter for 5 teams in the NFL next season? For sure.
