Though I don't agree with you, your post is very solid. However, numbers and stats can be manipulated and therefore will never tell the entire story.
You are correct in the fact that Amari Cooper in 2014, by his lonesome, had better numbers than our top 3 receivers last year. However, the narrative of the OP is about if A.R. is "healthy". AR, at his top, completely changes those figures. Last year, he was one of our top 3 receivers while only playing in about 5 games (IIRC). Simply plugging in AR's freshman numbers, takes away your argument. I would think, that you can agree that if healthy, AR as a junior, will far surpass his freshman numbers.
By you providing the data in your post, you are actually proving the very point, that you are opposing.
My argument isn't against AR82 having the talent to be heisman finalist type WR. My argument is this offense won't produce one. This offense has too may weapons at WR/TE and too may RB's that catch the ball out the backfield to generate the type of season a WR needs to make heisman push. Being a WR Heisman finalist is rare and takes a special set of circumstances (nationally top ranked team) and stats.
