Who is pushing him? Horn? Garcia? Neither of them are…they had all Spring and Fall Camp to get the job and couldn’t do it…. And again, I didn’t call Cook horrible…I don’t think he’s terrible but I don’t think he’s anything better than average. |

Let's do this...I will recant "not close to a Power 5 QB" if you recant "there's not a dimes worth of difference between Cook and Stetson Bennett"! 90% of being a good P5 (or any college) QB is reading the D, making quick decisions, and accurately delivering the pass. There is a trunk of gold coins difference between the two there. I don't like to crap on college players, especially at such a difficult position, but which SEC teams do we have a QB advantage over?

As for the rest of the SEC - that's my point: I don't necessarily see any teams we have a clear advantage over. But I see very few that have a clear advantage over Mizzou. I mean we're really gonna keep pumping off Spencer Rattler? How long are we going to act like Graham Mertz is anything worth worrying about? I mean sure, Jayden Daniels and KJ Jefferson seem like the head of the class. But the rest have almost as many questions as answers. And many of those guys will have bad years this year - it's just how it works. There's so much 'grass is greener' stuff here. You guys are judging everyone else's Quarterbacks on what they COULD be and holding Mizzou to the standard of their quarterbacks worst days. Mertz has had 5 YEARS in college football and has never had a season even as good as the season Cook had last year. And I think last season was Cook's floor. You're simply not giving Cook any credit at all for being a relatively ordinary, high floor, low ceiling college quarterback. While you're presuming all these other guys are going to hit their ceilings - INCLUDING our own internal alternatives. |

I honestly believe that with "average P5 QB play" in 2022, Mizzou wins 3 of 4, or even 4 of the Kentucky, Florida, Auburn, Georgia games...maybe GA shows up more ready to play with "James Franklin" at QB. Mizzou was in position to have an amazing year with a QB that could accurately throw down field. If it was his shoulder that caused that, then I will be proven wrong and will eat crow wearing a Burger King crown, but based on last night's play (aside from the Mekhi Miller TD throw) against a below avg FBS defense, I see the same level of play as last year, which will waste a darn good WR corps.

I want Cook to be better, but I just don't see it. His lack of arm strength is just such a limiting factor for him. |

I was no great fan of Franklin, but he was a hell of a lot better than Mauk, and I said so at the time. Cook is just Mauk with worse wheels, less coke, and the same FCS arm.

Given many of the absolutely boneheaded interceptions he threw last year, are we sure Cook is really a high floor guy, or is that just a common label we slap on QBs we know aren't good enough?

"Everything that I ever wanted to know about Brady Cook he's already told me.. he's got a girlfriend or otherwise I'd be trying to get him hooked up w/ once my daughters turn 18"
This dude will never move off Cook. |

It's so much more cringe when you hear it.
