Not sure how you missed the whole talk about Cooks before unless you're intentionally creating strawmans or trolling.

Didn't miss that at all. Of course Cooks will shoulder some load in the short passing game, but he'll pose little threat out of the backfield because there is no threat there as a runner. You have to be able to keep defenses honest, and a guy like Cadet can do that because they can also mix in the run.

WE have to not only replace Sproles in the short passing game, but Lance Moore as well. I love Cooks but to think he can come in and replace 140 catches is silly.

They still need that receiving threat out the backfield. And even if Flanders can prove to do some of that, he's not going to over take Cadet after 3 offseason's in the system. Practice squad at best.
