big_palooka Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Going full Jamarcus. Seriously.... what happened with this guy? He was shy, quiet and understated in Oakland. Gets traded and now he's become this guy?!? Never seen anything like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he was never happy in Oakland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roi34 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Smiled more and showed more passion in half year with boys than all time with us. Cant even say its because of losing. We had a great year while he was here and still bleh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Raider Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I’m not sure he ever wanted to play for us. Never seemed to care that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNBlackFan Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Lol who cares that he bought a chain. Hes a rich 24 year old kid playing for the worlds most popular team. Get out his pockets. Coop is a good guy, I hate when player's leave the fans try to diminish the character of the player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is diminishing the character. We're simply pointing out that he's basically done a 180 from who he was in Oakland. He was soft, got pushed around, didn't have a personality, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfrey13 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 How many times do I need to repeat myself. When asked about his feelings about being a Cowboy his first thoughts were the city and the facilities. I can almost guarantee that Alabama has better facilities than the Raiders. Dallas and the East Bay are very different. We have probably lost out on a lot of FAs because of this. If I had my choice of where to live it would not be the Bay area and would take less money from another team to leave. People have different personalities but you expect a professional to like a professional. Our FO better start to take this into account because when we move to Vegas the players environment is going to have a much bigger impact than it does now. For example a player like Aldon Smith or Justin Blackmon would never survive there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't really done anything differently in Dallas but celebrated a couple touchdowns and fight Marcus Peters, who we all know is a POS.

Ridiculous thinking because he made a freaking jewelry purchase. Amari was a good soldier here in Oakland. Hes a premier talent that never once complained about not getting the ball thrown to him for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bought the exact same necklace Jamarcus used to rock was my comparison. In Dallas he's been more vocal on and off the field. Personality completely different than what he showed in Oakland. It is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His little fight the other game vs the DB surprised the hell out of of me. Compare that vs the time Pacman jacked him up and all he had to say was "I have to protect myself better". The kid has definitely changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was he 20 years old in his first ever NFL game when Pacman checked him? Hes a grown man now I dont see why that's so surprising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the nation say he quit but then how do we explain his Cleveland and Denver game. Maybe he got checked out after the concussion he got in London after Carr threw the ball at his knees ?

Silver&Black88 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Honestly the guy never showed half the passion he has in Dallas when he was a Raider. He was fine when he was here, but definitely has changed. Maybe it took how things went early this year and the trade to light a fire in him. Who knows? Something just clicks with him there. I can't lie though, it frustrates me, but what can you do? I still think the trade was the right call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
