If those guys are predicting that it's huge and that's 1 hell of a get for you guys [Reply]
Ton of smoke around Nwaneri/Mizzou….got a great feeling he’s picking us. He and Wingo would be one helluva a recruiting 1,2 punch.
I’m not surprised McClellan picked OSU right now, was always trending that way. Mizzou made up a ton of ground though, I don’t think that one is dead. [Reply]

Yep, it was always his no matter what. I don't trust Eli's decision making whatsoever. Also, Eli doesn't talk about how good he looks only how the guys rally around him. Like yeah no shit? You've pretty much said he's the starter from the beginning. This has never been an actual open competition. It's infuriating. [Reply]

He's had multiple chances to fix it. Time to live or die with the dumbassery.
Let's make no mistake though. Cook is getting deals. There's no competition. [Reply]
If the job is 100 percent Cook's, we won't hear any more about the "maybe play 2 QBs for the first few weeks" thing.
If it is not Cook's job, we will.
Time will tell. I think Drinkwitz is a little too obsessed with all the complicated (and, I would argue, minimally effective with a limited QB) eye candy stuff he does in his offense. And that helps Cook out. [Reply]
It's worth noting that Cook had the best ball placement there. And the ball did seem to be snapping out of there better than it was last season. Garcia had clearly better raw arm strength but didn't seem as precise. Horn seemed to be a little underwhelming to me; didn't jump off the screen like I'd hoped.
Man, the Frosh (Johnson) spins a beautiful ball, though. That thing just looks different out of his hand. With his athleticism, that's gonna be a really interesting kid to keep an eye on. Can't imagine we'll see him this year but he looks to have electric raw talent. [Reply]

If Cook is the best option, you play him, no? [Reply]
Don't think the argument has ever been dont play the best player. Just that if the best you can land is Cook after multiple cracks at doing an upgrade holy fuck what are you doing? [Reply]
