I was a little disappointed with some of the responses to this question (or lack of them). Again I think Brown and Cooks are very similar. Schrager apparently knew where I was going with my line of questioning lol!!! Where is laram he would have really challenged me on this. Lol

I have my doubts about Cooks being what Brown is. For one thing BC has had 2 concussions in the league already. He doesnt have the sheer physical toughness Brown does. That limits him in some ways.
But then they don't need Cooks to be Brown,. He can just be Cooks. With the Rams, it's less the individual receiver than it is the combination of them. Cooks, Woods, and Kupp are very good combination. With Brown, you can field any other decently competent receiver and you're set. Cooks, Woods, and Kupp are like a jazz trio. It's not the same if you subtract one of them.

I believe AB has had at least 2 concussions. The last one was a doozy against the Bengals.
AB is not a big guy, he's about the same size as BC. In his 8 seasons in the NFL, AB has played 16 games only twice. I know this because I have had AB in my FF league for several years and those missed games killed me. So I don't think toughness is a significant discriminator.
I think the biggest difference is wiggle and quickness in and out of breaks, and AB has amazing hands. AB is off the charts in these areas. Flat out speed, BC may actually be faster, but he is a bit of a body catcher.
Well I wasn't referring to AB's size though. You can be a smaller player with toughness and durability. But I spaced that that's not completely true in this case, so I stand corrected. However, I still think Brown is an overall tougher guy than Cooks. Doesn't make Cooks the opposite.
