"The real comparison is Jarvis Landry vs. Stanley Jean Baptist"



Makes me sick thinking about it.

efficiency in any sport I'm talking about. You rarely, if ever, deviate. Just weird to see you crack on this issue.


It's pretty clear, despite whoever the QBs are, that Cooks can do everything that Landry can do. But there are things that Cooks can do that Landry can't, such as getting behind a defense. Look at the YPC. Look at average catch length. Look at the TD's.

Cooks had a lower drop rate in 2015 as well. All around he is a better WR.

Its so obvious people who even try to argue cooks simply dont watch miami games. Cooks is an extremely fast receiver who does fairly well bc of the system he is in. Jarvis would excel in any system

i love Jarvis Landry, he is my favorite LSU WR of all time, and he is a really good pro player. But if you cant see him limitations when watching him play, I dont know what to say.


yea maybe he is "tougher" than Cooks(he's slower, he gets hit more), maybe he has better intangibles, but how can anyone overlook Cooks production, despite WAY less volume, is beyond me.

What system do the Saints run exactly?

What system does Miami run?

Generic terms you're using with zero meaning.

And I'm pretty positive that the Cooks skillset is valuable in every single system, derp.

Why were the other 3 receivers from Miami able to average 16+ ypc from the same QB?

Landry is conveniently great at the things you cannot measure: heart, toughness, blocking, cutting, agility


Of course, when you want to bring up a concrete measurement, it's the QB play impacting his hard statistics.

Meanwhile, great WRs across the league are ripping off huge numbers with QBs way worse than Tannehill.

Furthermore, you give Landry 6 more games and 80 more targets and his numbers still aren't as impressive

Both guys can be good at what they do without belittling the other's accomplishments

You can measure that to an extent. I believe Cooks had the best numbers for those drills at the combine. May have even broken records

And he has WRs on his own team able to get completions down field

What is the point of continuing these arguments? Its the same tards that continue to downplay Cooks and Ingram and that we should have drafted Landry AND Hill.

1. As if it could have happened
2. Hill isn't even a complete RB, as to why Gio is still playing so much.

This thread is dumb. But so are the "you only wannnnnt him because he went to LSU. Take off your glasses." Do I think Landry is better than Cooks? No. But if I would have said I wanted Juice over Stephone Anthony I would have been a dumbass pussy LSU homer. Well...........

I said it on the first page, why not BOTH?
If you're comparing Cooks to Landry and Hill to Ingram it is a pointless argument.

Yea, cause that's not a plausible reason.

How'd Antonio Brown do when Roethlisberger was out?

Because the gap between Landry/Vick to Roethelisberger is equivalent to the gap between Tannehill and Brees? Tannehill to Brees is A LOT closer than that atrocity.

Brown also had a 100+ yard game against KC right before Ben came back.

Do you think that Landry would have near the same # of targets or receptions with the Saints?

Who would run deepr routes for the Saints to stretch the defense for the Saints if we had Landry instead of Cooks? Teams would just sit underneath all gamr

Do you think he'd be near as good a punt returner?

Keep in mind that Sproles went from the mid 20's to #1 in punt return average when he left the saints

Cooks had an incredible second half of the season. Touchdown machine scoring 8 in the last 9 games
