I was just sitting here trying to remember a drop by that guy and could not summon one from memory. Dude has been absolute money when we've gone to him. Big Mac has GOT to find a way to get him the ball come playoff time. Of course it would help if he could grow a couple inches so Dak could see him on the crossers.

I am a big Cooks fan, since his days with Brady. Glad he's starting to get some recognition. Just wish it was another QB throwing to him.

Cooks is very underrated. He's not a number 1 but when you need that tough catch he will make it. Sort of Alvin Harper-ish

I don't know but he has 48 catches for 618 yards and 7 TDs with one game to play.

I don't know, but he gets deep every week and over throws him.

I don't remember one. But I do remember some of his bigtime catches. How big was that 3rd down dime he caught last night?

Cooks has been a fantastic signing. Still don’t understand why he’s bounced around so much but glad he landed here. And for another year at least.

Who's bright idea was it to trade for him?

Dallas wanted Cooks last year and tried to get him at the trade deadline, but Houston was asking for too much. They were able to get him this offseason much cheaper. As for who exactly wanted him, I would assume McCarthy and the scouting department saw him as a fit here.

He reminds me of Laurent Robinson. That was Romo’s security blanket when he needed a big play other than Dez.

Cooks has dropped a few passes, .but not a constant.
But what has encouraged me the last two weeks, Dak has went to him in those corner routes and he's delivered two
TDs as a result.

I do wish Dak would connect with him on those rare go/fly, deep passes, when the speedy Cooks is jet smoking
an opposing CB in the dust, Brandin can get those separating over the top go routes. A
And I am glad we are at least trying to deep shot Cooks in that fashion, whether it's at Home,.. or On the road.

The more Cooks is involved, the more dangerous and versatile it is makes our offense. He should be feasting
upon the double coverages and mass attention that Lamb is receiving from opposing defenses.

I'm glad we have a Cooks as an option and not having to depend-rely on Gallup- who rarely appears and often disappears way too often.

Although it took McCarthy waaay too long in the first half of the season to finally realize how much Cooks could help us.

We were basically phasing him out of the offense, and even the media began back-lashing Mac for shutting out Cooks
" i'm not into fantasy football " comment. But I can at least say Mac was sensitive enuff to try to adjust and beginning to finally involve Cooks. I mean it was a reason why we traded for his speed.

It was a drop for him to come here, knowing that Ceedee is the main guy, we didn't use him as well as I thought we would. I like his leadership most
