Fred Davis is a better athlete for sure, but Cooley runs better routes, is better after the catch, and, despite the drops, does have better hands. However, if the right offer is on the table, I can only think of two or three Skins that are untradeable, and Cooley isn't one of them.

Mainly, I mean from a typical fans perspective. I think that 2005 Dallas game is etched in their brains. Plus, Cooley is very good at marketing so he is very popular.
I firmly believe that Davis is better and has been better. That was before Cooley decided to flat drop 50 percent of the clutch balls that came his way this year. He represents the old culture to me (overpaid, underperform) and I would be thrilled if they could get a 3rd. i would take a 4th. His pay is ridiculous compared to his production.
