When the Cowboys traded for Amari Cooper, the cool thing to do was to rip Dallas for the move. Takes like this following tweet from Adam Rank were easy to find as everyone thought the Cowboys overpaid.

A first-rounder for Amari Cooper.

The Cowboys are your friend who pays $179 for a T-shirt that they could have bought at Target for $12.

Cooper heard all the talk and said he didn’t care so much about proving the Raiders wrong in trading him. His focus was proving Dallas was right in giving up a first-round pick for his services. And so far, he’s done that and then some.

In six games with Dallas, Cooper has 40 receptions for 642 yards (16.1 average) and six touchdowns. Even people as critical of the trade as Rank have to realize how good that is — and they need to see that this team is different with him.

Week 14 was his best game as Cooper had 10 receptions for 217 yards and three touchdowns. That performance made him a legend in Big D, and he grows that in this next prediction as Cooper goes for 150 yards and another two touchdowns. Doing so will definitely prove the Cowboys were right — and even if it isn’t his goal, it proves the Raiders were dead wrong to trade him.
