Re: Cook and next year, I don’t believe he’ll stick around. And if he does and still plays instead of Horn or Johnson, that means he’s the best guy they have.
People were clamoring for Cook over Bazelak last year. We see how that has turned out.
Drink is trying to win. His job depends on it next year. He’s going to play the best guy.
If, after a year and a half in the system that is NOT Sam Horn, it’s a good sign he’s not what his ranking suggested he could be.

Yeah - I just have an awfully hard time believing that a guy who's watched these two guys take more snaps in a week than we will in our lifetimes has decided "eh, **** my job - Cook just makes a mean martini so he's my quarterback..."
How often have fans ever gotten that one right? Closest I can figure is the Brad Smith/Chase Daniel debate in 2005 and frankly Smith was just a better player for that team at that time.
Maybe that Franklin/Mauk season? But Mauk's near immediate implosion when he became the named starter kinda says what needed to be said about why that decision was made. That was a situation where Franklin just never got the respect he deserved.
I will say that I have no idea what the coaching staff saw in Kelly Bryant and I think they'd have been more successful that year had they made the switch to Bazelak sooner - Bryant just would not throw the goddamn football. He was such a struggle to watch. Hard to know what the thought process there was apart from not burying a kid who transferred here for his senior season (with a hell of a resume) out of fear of not winning many of those battles in the future?
But I'd take Cook 100% of the time over Bryant. Man I couldn't stand watching him play.
