Cooks: Young Saints wideouts 'gonna do big things'
This reminds me of something I heard from Brett Favre in 2007, and it always stuck with me....
The Packers were supposed to be in rebuilding mode that year. Other than Donald Driver, Brett was pretty much throwing to very inexperienced guys. Even Mason Crosby was a rookie that year at kicker. Most people thought they'd be lucky to win 5 games.
Well, they started the season 10-1. And I can't remember after which game this quote was stated, but at some point when it was becoming obvious that the Pack were probably gonna match their "projected win total" in the first half of the season, Brett made the statement: "I think what we're learning here is that inexperience doesn't necessarily mean losses".
Maybe part of me fondly leans on that because Brees is now that late 30's guy surrounded by young, inexperienced guys......the way Brett was in 2007. Reading what Cooks said definitely has me thinking along the lines of what can be possible with this WR crew..
