this agenda wasn't about whether Cooks sucks or not. *your* parameters:

1. Saints had a "bum play package for him" and did not know how to run offense for Cooks
2. Cooks was a 80/1,200/10 TD guy while the Saints misused him, so just imagine the numbers he will put up with the GOAT
3. By the end of the season he will be in the conversation for best receiver in the NFL

1A. Saints fed Cooks an average of 123 targets per full season (he had 114 this past year) and was able to get match-ups against weaker defenders since Michael Thomas emerged as New Orleans' best and most reliable target

2A. Cooks played with the most accurate quarterback in NFL history, with eight games indoors under perfect conditions, so it's little surprise his catch rate dropped 10 percentage points (he had the worst catch rate among New England starting receivers). he had career full season lows in all marks except for YPC. he also had the most drops in a season since his rookie year.

3B. Cooks is a very good player, an excellent #2 in a passing game because of his speed and ability to work out of the slot and next to the boundary equally well. he is not an elite #1 option, which is where the conversation for best wideout in the league begins and ends.

your reasoning for Cooks' joining the elite tier did not make much sense in football context. seemed like you were just excited for a Brady-cyse, and thought Brady would magically get rid of Cooks' faults. I spelled it all to you above and you said I should just shut up.

watch some more games.
