There are few complete #1 WR's....Michael Thomas is a slow possession type receiver. The fact is we really miss Cooks. Only route Ginn can run is the fly and Brees can hardly throw that anymore.
Saints need a legit TE threat. That's the biggest issue with this offense currently.

No he wasn't. Michael Thomas passed him by his rookie year.

He was 7th in the league last year in WR yards
He’s 10th this year
Pretty sure that makes him a no 1 WR with both
Ehhhhh. He wouldnt be number 1 here. Thomas is pretty clearly our number 1 and was last year as well IMO.

i bet he don't complain in New England like he did here....

Cooks was our leading WR last year. Let’s not cloud the facts here
Neither are true nut-dragging WR1 & both would be better served playing next to WRs similar to each of them
That said Both should hit the 1,200 mark. Bagging on Cooks is retarded
Btw he’s still younger than mike Thomas

Cooks would certainly have helped this years WR corps production, but we then wouldn't have the invaluable Ramczyck,
While Cooks is serviceable, and flashed elite ability, he was never reliable enough to make the clutch play consistently like Colston & Thomas routinely did/has.
Add on the ransom paid to get him, expecting he'd be the next Steve Smith, and he's actually underachieved much like mediocre 1st rd pick Tavon Austin.
It's bc of the stunning over-achievements by 3rd rd Steve Smith and 6th rounder Antonio Brown that fooled teams like the Rams & Saints into drafting short quick/fast WR's that the historically poor ratio of success should have warned them against doing so.

If somehow being a top 10 WR in the league is underachieving like an almost bust like Tavon Austin...wow
Some of yal forget who defenses keyed in on last year, fun fact...it was Cooks. Cooks met their #1 CB more often and took a safety or LBer with him as well.
When a team finally challenged Thomas with their #1 CB and game-planned for him (see Denver), he got dominated in more ways than one.
Its no surprise Thomas' efficiency took a dip this year, esp true for Snead. Thomas-Cooks were a great duo, they both fed off each other but some of yal have this ax to grind with him for whatever reason.

You mean, like he got dominated by Desmond Trufant last week for 10 catches, 117 yards, and a TD?

Lol wtf
if having three 1k yards seasons before you turn 25 is underachieving, wow. Get a grip freek

There is no way he would have been satisfied having to share the ball with Thomas, Kamara and Ingram.
The thing that is missing from this offense isn't Cooks. Ginn has been adequate. The thing that is missing from this offense is a bail-out TE.

In what universe is Tavon Austin a Top 10 WR?
This year, the Rams' most potent offense yet, he has just 10 catches for 33 yards!
Against the Saints, without Lattimore and Crawley, this Top 10 WR had 3 rec for -1 yard.
Lay off the crack, chief.

I think he's calling Cooks a top 10 WR
Posted on 12/12/17 at 11:02 am to 25 Point Lead
Well, that'd make more sense.
Posted on 12/12/17 at 11:05 am to Lester Earl
Lol yeah. In no way can you try and compare Cooks to Austin.
Cooks is way better.

Well, let's compare 1st round expectations and diminutive stature.
Neither have become 1st rd superstars. Neither have overcome their size to the extent that (exceptions to the rule) Steve Smith & Antonio Brown did.
You see, you can make a comparison. A solid comparison.
And it's a heads-up to never draft in the 1st rd, much less trade up for, a short WR.

Antonio Brown might be a top 3 WR all time
If that’s what you compare every WR then they are all failures
Btw Cooks has more Receiving yards than both (smith & brown) in their first 4 years

Ok
8th overall pick
20th overall pick

You'd expect the 8th overall guy to, if you're expecting the 20th overall guy to be a superstar you're dreaming for luck.

One hasn't broke what 600 yards
The other is about to have 3 1k seasons as one of the most feared deep threats in the league.

No, no you cannot. One has been vastly underwhelming while the other is about to have 3 1k seasons in a row. Huge difference.

The Pats thought he was worth a 1st rounder as well and he's still producing.
I mean other large guys like Watkins and Benjamin have been oh so great in comparison right? Obj and cooks are small and highly productive. Yeah Obj is better but cooks isn't a bum like tavon Austin.
