Saints place Cooks on season ending IR...

..with a wrist injury. What a fucked up year; especially given the pre season expectations.

I can't recall any draft pick with more hype than Cooks. The results were vastly underwhelming. I thought we were getting a young Colston, nowhere near...

 

colston? you must have read the wrong reports. i was expecting a percy harvin.

 

Nah you know what I'm saying, as far as production on the field goes...

 

not really but its ok.

 

I guess you don't understand the word production, but its ok...

 

yeah but its a weird comparison. cooks is a punt returner, burner, slot guy. hard to know what that means. much closer to sproles. thats probably what you heard.

 

Referring to when he got here and the numbers he put up...

 

yeah, sproles was the comparison i heard. lining up a 5'9" guy at slot receiver in the NFL these days is a bit risky. i agree w/the Percy Harvin comparison. coming out of the backfield is more what i pictured for a guy w/his size and speed.

 

That's all on Payton. Even he admitted that they need to keep finding ways to get him the ball. Moot point now.
