He had a 69% catch percentage, which is outstanding.
Cooks got a first down 38% of the times he was targeted. By comparison Snead got a first down 49% of the times he was targeted.
Cooks got targeted 13 more times than Snead but Snead made 6 more first downs.
If you look at all Snead's stats for last season, he had great numbers for a #2 and he was the third option. Most teams would've loved to get those numbers from their #2 receiver.
Touchdowns get all the glory but you also gotta have someone you can count on to move the chains.
Comparing Cooks incompletions to Snead's is comparing apples to oranges.
