Does Brees still have the arm strength to get the ball to Cooks on the outside?

On Sunday night they signed Ricky Jarrett and you know he is gonna be the 1 in the slot. Gave him a big welcoming party and everything.

You might also want to look into Michael Thomas

If people remember what I said last year I said to avoid Coleman and pick up snead.
I was also kinda meh on Cooks.

This year I think Cooks has the potential to breakout into a top 5 NFL receiver and is certainly worth a 2nd round pick in PPR.

If the Oline comes through im predicting this to be the best Saints offense ever.

Well I googled his name because I did not know who it was and he kinda looked like Hakeem Nicks so I just figured you were making a joke so I rolled with it.
I assumed Nicks was the one you were talking about because thats the only WR we signed in that time frame.

lol he is actually Denzel's son

In the show he said "Wheres Brees? Wheres Payton?" because he wanted to be recruited better, then Payton showed up at the end and they gave him an elaborate ceremonious welcome.

Cruise you watching Ballers yet?

And I would go with Amari Cooper there easily, he is the next bigtime star WR in that top 4 range. Atleast that is his upside.

Don't see Cooks or Keenan having that upside.

Not yet, but some coworkers rave about it

If you like sports, you might like it. Don't really see how anyone could like it if they don't like sports.

More of a guilty pleasure type show.

Brandon Cooks will get his. Brees arm strength isnt done yet, but I dont see him throwing for 5000 yds for 5 more years either. Micheal Thomas has been getting raving reviews during camp. Brees has alot of confidence in him. Brandon Coleman doesnt use his height as an advantage and his hands arent nearly as good as the other 2. Snead is money as usual. The one thing that can hold back the offense is the Oline as Chop mentioned. So far OT Andrus Peat is looking much improved over last year when he came in out of shape as a rookie. Zach Strief is still the RT as of now and Peat is rotating between G and LT while Armstead is out. I think they put Peat at G this year and move him to RT next year. This offense will explode if the Oline stays healthy and protects Brees.

Coby Fleener is looking great also in camp. Brees will make him shine just like he did with Graham.

The knock on Cooks is he didnt fight for the ball last year. He didnt go up and try to get it but this year it looks like he might be doing that. i still think he will have over 1000 and at least 8 TDs.

The problem is he has stone hands. If he brings it in he's good in the open field but too much wide open tip-tip-drop. Wasn't much of the red zone target in Indy either, but he's big enough to make it work (assuming it doesn't bounce off his face mask.)

I'm super high on Cooper myself. I may have an opportunity to move Robinson and a higher pick for him in a keeper league, which I'm strongly considering. The feedback I was getting from many sources who tend to know their shit was I'd be overpaying.

Robinson+high pick seems like a bit much. I probably wouldn't do that.
