I'll probably watch here and there as I'll be busy with a newborn, but I don't think my expectations for this year can be any lower.

About to the point I'm rooting for failure just to expedite Drinkwitz departure. There is literally no excuse to even pencil in Cook as the #1.

He was such trash that if Drink doesn't have a QB on this roster that can start over him, then there is absolutely no reason for him to remain coaching here. Brady Cook only had 3 pretty good games last year and the other games he was a basically Alex Smith with more INTs. In those 3 games he had 9 of his 14 passing TDs. Two of them were absolute trash teams New Mexico St and Abilene Christian. The other was against Tennessee. He had 5 games in which he didn't throw for a TD and 4 games where he had under 200 yards. He never had a 300 yard game and only went over 250 yds twice. His average 211 passing yards per game. He wasn't close to good enough. He didn't earn the right be named the starter, but here we are. Nothing that I saw from him last year looked like a player that had potential. He just looked extremely average on his best days and nothing about him excites me even a little. He's just so damn mediocre. |

Yeah, that's more or less the jist of it.

The difference is when he talks about playing Russian roulette with QB's going into the actual season.
That right there tells me he knows he doesn't have a ****ing thing. |

I can't find the quote, but didn't he say something along the lines of maybe splitting snaps 50/50 or switching up the starter by week 3? If so that sounds like he's already trying to cover his bases, so when Brady Cook does start that he already planted that seed that if Brady sucks, which he will, that he said he could change starters if need be. I'm almost positive that Brady Cook starts pretty much this entire season and will play just mediocre enough that Eli will continue playing him.

From recruits, to the bench and even the portal. Nothing but whiffs. Until we have a QB, we ain't got shit. |

Just listened to a press conference and it really sounds like he's planning on starting Brady Cook. He talks about needing to complete those vertical passes and move the ball down the field, but then goes and makes excuses for why it wasn't Brady's fault he wasn't able to do that by bringing up injuries and protection problems. Says the other guys got a long way to go to catch up with Brady Cook. I think the only way Cook isn't starting is if he has an injury that keeps him out of the game.

Sooo he's admitting to outright failure at recruiting the QB position?

I'm not saying a healthy Cook is a good QB, but he's at least an average college starter. Need I remind you he ****ing relied on a transfer RB from Truman St. last year as well. |
