right, but you said that there’s no evidence.
 

Finishing towards the top of the league in yards per catch every season is evidence that he can do exactly what this team needs. Make plays downfield.  
 

He can do it, yet Josh and Brady rarely give him the chance.  

I don't think the small sample size from him is evidence of anything except that he can get downfield when teams are focused on other receivers and forget about him

 

But you guys can keep telling me that Josh Palmer is an effective starting caliber receiver all you like

Did anyone watch Josh's PC from today?

 

Cooks is playing and I think he's going to be a decent part of our game plan.  Josh complemented him on his high football IQ and kinda smirked when he said he's already learned most of the playbook.  The playbook comment caught my attention because the way he said it he seemed pretty genuinely pleased by how much he knows already.  Others can comment on it, but it didn't seem like the standard throwaway comment he might make in a PC.

that is really awesome, I'll watch now

 

he already memorized Joe Brady's 5 flash cards 🙃
 

the high football IQ and true professional comments certainly do stand out

Does this mean that the offensive passing playbook is on a posted note? Seems like it, as the Texans players were laughing about how easy it was to diagnose the Buffalo offensive passing scheme.

It will be very intriguing to see his status for this week. If he's a healthy scratch again, then damn. 

 

I felt like they would give him one more chance and somehow get him to have a come to Jesus moment, but I dunno. If he's truly done here then holy hell, I think he might be our new all time bust. 

I still think Mike Williams (RT, R1P4) in 2003 edges out Coleman.

I thought about it and I get why he is usually one of, if not the, go to pick/s, but in my mind, I factor in what's at stake for when that player is drafted. Sure, it would have been amazing to have him work out and be a bedrock of the team for a decade going forward, but those teams had an ungodly amount of problems all around.

 

With Keon, it's a lot more bleak in my opinion. Drafted to hopefully be a true game changing weapon for Josh, and a critical piece for the team to finally, finally get over the hump and win a Super Bowl, or hell, even get to one again. Instead we've gotten...yeah.

 

I think people are underestimating that side of things, and as much as I still absolutely want the guy to turn into that kind of player, it's not looking good. I really don't know what it would take. Usually, outside of a near death experience, nothing really changes a person's internal motivation to succeed or to truly reinvent themselves to become the best version of themselves possible.

lol.  Did I even say that.  I said that he isn’t being used effectively. 

 

He’s a proven route runner that can get separation and can help this offense more than he has to date.
 

also, I don’t think his contract is THAT bad.  He can certainly prove to be worth a 2 year 21M contract.
