Looks like Thomas is gonna be a stud and we all know Cooks can make plays happen.

There is a difference between great players and play makers. Brees has been both. Now it's time for other parts of the offense to start making plays.

A stud is a number one type playmaker. I don't think Cooks is that. And Payton is gonna have so many weapons all over that it will be hard for a aging Brees to rely on just one or two players. Not everyone can be studs. And if that's the case with Brees, he needs a RB and not no Gerhart clone either that's been talked about.
