Another Questionable Personnel Decision

Useful, at least.

Now I'm not saying Cooper would have led us to a superbowl, the playoffs, or even a win.  But it is another baffling example of how management inexplicably avoids available, proven NFL-caliber talent (like Cooper at WR, or Zach Brown/Nick Perry/Brandon Marshall at LB) in favor of practice squad scraps like Willis and Morgan at WR or Hardy Nickerson and LaRoy Reynolds at LB, etc.  As an aside, I just noticed that Uzomah is ahead of Eifert on the depth chart -- WTF is that all about??  It's almost like we're actively trying to lose!

Yea we've passed on some guys who could have definitely helped this team out. I don't really get what this team is trying to do. There has been talent on the waiver wire that's better then what we currently have on the roster. Seantrel Henderson is a guy recently released and who's probably an instant upgrade over Bobby Hart.
