My wife and I had a few girly cider beers with the game and somehow we started laughing after the second Kupp TD about "kupping Goff balls" and we giggled way too much like simple idiots.
It was awesome.

So, with that... how about #18? We are all so focused on our offense struggling, we haven't really had a discussion about our star WR who is producing like a stud even while we aren't really running on all cylinders.
I know player comparisons are always weird, espescially the ones I am going to make, but hear me out: Kupp reminds me of a mix of young Larry Fitzgerald and Anquon Boldin circa '05 Cardinals.
Big hands, long arms, great routes, coach on the field, a beast after the catch, unstoppable from the slot. Anyways, I just wanted to offer a different conversation and discuss what is going right on our offense: The Super Cooper, The Coupe de Ram, the Albino Rhino (okay nobody has ever called him any of those but I'm working on the fly y'all)

Cooper Kupps Goffs Balls:ROFLMAO:

I don't see either Fitzgerald or especially Boldin when I watch Kupp. Kupp reminds me of a player from the '70s and '80s on the St. Louis Cardinals named Pat Tilley. Tilley didn't have speed or size in his favor but did possess an uncanny ability to get open, make the catch and get yards. Tilley was also smaller and lighter than Kupp but played 9 full seasons averaging over 700 yards per season.

Kupp is incredible! He is so important to our team.

In the first quarter around 6:30 left in the quarter. It's a 3rd and 5.

Kupp, from the other side of the field, is waving at Cooks to get his attention and fix his alignment.

Seconds later Kupp is catching the ball for a receiver screen and picking through the traffic.

The way Kupp runs his exact routes reminds me of Jerry Rice or Torry Holt without the top end speed.

The way Kupp gets open with Jukes reminds me of Edelman or Welker but Kupp uses less exaggerated, subtle jukes.

Given that Cooper broke a number of Jerry Rice"s collegiate records, I remember referring to him as the 'white Jerry Rice' before his rookie season began.
 
Kupp is to the Rams what Kamara is to the Saints. A sneaky great player who doesn’t possess power but is slithery like a snake and always makes the most of what he is given. I believe Kupp will be an all Pro this year if he plays all 16 games. I loved the pick when it happened but I also loved Tavon Austin when we picked him (except for us moving up in the1st to get him).

I think Kupp is moved up to the upper echelon of receivers in the eyes of the NFL after this season.

That will happen because Kupp will get more than 1200 yards and 12 TDs (and more TDs than OBJ and most other high media profile guys ).

It will eventually dawn on the NFL that Kupp is one of the very best receivers in the league.

And yes he reminds me too of Steve Largent.

I get the Largent comparisons, but I feel like Kupp is such a monster after the catch, such a determined blocker, that's why I mentioned Boldin. And honestly his receiving skills look a lot like Fitzgerald, big target, un-coverable on 3rd down. Deceptively quick for his length, high points the ball in stride... just has a complete game and I think he is capable of being a true WR1.
