Posted November 13 Time for Luke Stocker to pad his stats. I bet we will try Ricky Ortiz, Vic Beasley, and Saubert there before Jaeden Graham gets a shot. Stevo, PokerSteve, Dr Long Shot and 1 other like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 13 No disrespect to Hooper, but I'm confident Graham will come in and catch the football. Ryan will quickly get comfortable with him. This injury isn't a positive by any means, but it's just not going to be a major stumbling block to this offense.

Posted November 13 Well, as long as they aren't trying to force the ball to Stocker in any fashion I think it will be okay slick0ne, Peteshweddy, Stevo and 5 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, hopefully Graham can get the job done and hold the fort down 'til he's able to come back --- PokerSteve likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13 Welp, this may save us a few million when extending him, cause dude has put in the work and was about to have a TG like season and get paid. He deserves it and we’d be foolish not to pay him vel and ATLSlobberKnockers like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hooper put in countless offseason hours to build comfort and trust with Ryan. It’s why I’d pay Hooper Cole World and Schwarzwald like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not for injury, he likely would’ve lead or come close to leading most statistical categories at his position. Hopefully he can still make an All-Pro team despite this setback.

Saying you would have done something if not for injury and actually putting up the stats are different when it comes to contracts. With 1,200 yards, 12 TD’s and 84% catch rate, he would potentially reset the TE market....especially if voted All Pro & back to back Pro Bowls MoFalconsFan56, vel, Atlantafan21 and 1 other like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Despite the totally false narrative on Hooper prior to this season that his hands were suspect, he's actually been amongst the most sure-handed TEs in the NFL. He's worked hard & made huge improvements each year, and definitely needs to be kept in Atlanta.

It’s why I’d pay Hooper Hooper is an excellent TE receiver. He has earned a trusted spot as one of Ryan's chief go-to receivers. I respectfully submit this can be achieved without having to spend countless hours with your QB though.. Not sure any other TE's put in extensive one-on-one time with their QB's but there are certainly many other TE's who make important contributions to their offense. I think Graham can and will be a good target for Matt and be productive in his own right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13 Gage Hardy and Blake need to pick up Hoopers slack. Shorten the routes get it out quicker set up the deeper shots. Continue to pound the football. FA91 and PokerSteve like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
