Does Brandin Cooks have a drop this year?

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.
I am just happy that we're throwing those. The mere threat of it is going to make things that much easier for our offense. Cooks and Turp can both run by DBs but we need to let the adrenaline at the start of the game to die down for Dak before we take those shots. But I get that it serves as a tone setter to put the safeties on notice. It will help our intermediate passing game as well as our offense if we can ever get a back to the second level without three people hanging on him.

When Cooks starts to cook, we’re very tough to stop. He was an absolute technician on the fade route on the 3rd and long and the go ahead TD. We don’t win last night without him.

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 may be available in 2025 with one of 31 other teams. Cheer up, don't despair.

I don't know, but he gets deep every week and over throws him.
Just wondering which quarterback in the league has a perfect passing game week in, week out and has never overthrown a No. 2 receiver going deep? I am super grateful we have Cooks and he has made some great catches off long and angled passes from Dak. It will only get better with Cook and other catch wizards providing the offensive line holds up.

It took Dak a bit to get in sync with Cooks but they have been making more plays the last few games.

I wish a third option would emerge in the WR group but other guys get so few looks by QB1 it would be hard, Fergie is getting those targets and that's fine too.
