Predictability was not an issue with the saints
Because they had Cooks line up in different spots and run a lot of different routes. The Saints' passing game is probably every bit as complex as the Pats'.
Evolution of the Saints passing offense.
My point is that Cooks may be significantly better at "getting behind defenders" than most WRs and that maybe that's what he's "best at", but he can get behind defenders in a lot of different ways - both before and after the catch - and he's really, really good at a lot of different things. To reject exploiting all of his capabilities for fear that he'll get injured is what seems like a "waste of talent" to me.
