He reminds me of Michael Lewis, but a better WR.

I'm more worried about his hands than I am his feet. Doesn't do any good to be fast if he can't catch the ball.

He's been in the business for ten years. No way he does that if he drops everything coming his way. And he hasn't Drew throwing to him yet.

He has gotten better over the years.

I think we get one strong year out of him. Dude is not that bright, said it himself. He has a learning disability. Just hit pay dirt a couple of times on kicks and even stevens.

Must have missed all those dropped passes he had against the saints when he was with the panthers. wide open drops

this is the knock on him since he came to the NFL and the reason he never sticks with a team long. Speed and height are his only selling point.

It the same hype as Cam is tough and we all know to rattle Cam the scouting report is the same year in and year out. Hit him early and often and he will fold.

Yeah, his hands suck but I'd be throwing to him a few times per game. Keep the defense honest. A pump fake from Brees can take a corner and a free safety outta the play.

He got 4 touchdowns and 750 yards last season with Cam Newton throwing the ball. I'd think those numbers would get better with Drew throwing to him. He'd also have better receivers with him to make it harder for defenses to match up.

Hard not to be hopeful with spring blooming here in the Rockies. With all the new stuff waiting at the Dome for Ginn, I'm hoping he makes you eat your words and I'll bet you are too!

The only concern that I have is his catching ability to go up and get the ball. Yes, he still has pretty good deep speed and can run under the ball but we also know that typically Brees' deep ball is a jump ball. Most times the WR has to slowdown for the ball. That is one thing Cooks was pretty good at despite his size. Hopefully CJ can help him locate the ball better.
