Big heart but lacks the physical tools and talent required at this level.

Disagree. Talent in front of him has always been an issue.

If he were good enough, his superlatives would be different. How would you describe Cook?

If he lacks NFL talent, then so does Lance Moore. Because they are basically the same player. Tanner's always been caught in a numbers game, nothing more nothing less. If 23-year-old Lance Moore wandered into Saints camp now he wouldn't have a chance in hell of making the team.

Lance and Tanner attended the same training camps for three years. One always made the active roster, one couldn't beat out Arrington, Morgan, Meachem, Roby, Hakim, etc.
Again, we gave him 4 years to prove himself, and every other team has had 4 years to sign him, and it never happened. It's not a numbers game when almost 200 wide receivers take the field each year and he never been one of them.

To be fair, how many of those years was he hurt? IMO, he had his opportunity but got hurt and its been an uphill battle since.

Other than this year, I don't believe he was ever hurt. He always ended up on the PS, not IR, which would have paid a lot more
