Kupp is just a guy who knows the game. I loved this video, Kupp giving honest answer to a question

That kind of ability CAN be taught, whereas DK's physical gifts can't, but Kupp will be successful for a long long time in the league, even as he gets older, DK will need to continue to learn and develop to get there, not saying it's not possible however.
Ideally you want both those guys on your team! I think Lockett is a student of the game too, exceptionally underrated receiver, even by his own fans.
Hasselbeck broke down that video/response recently on 710 broadcast - it was funny.
I hate him, but have a ton of respect for Kupp.
Hass also mentioned a couple things this week about 'draft stars' or whatever he called them. Said he didn't want a guy who just had 'combine stats/numbers'. Wanted a guy who could play 'football on Sundays'. I think Kupp qualifies as that.
In my business historically, I hired on attitude, with base capabilities - you can train the rest. Unfortunately, Kupp passes that test, and DK doesn't.
So, regrettably, yes, I'd trade DK for Kupp. Is DK the next Megatron? Who knows - but not without an attitude adjustment, and Kupp's got no attitude to adjust.
