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.
I don't know about that. It really depends on the situation if he were to throw out Horn or Garcia. [Reply]

I couldn't tell you who the best player is, because I haven't gotten to see them play. Based on Brady's play last year I find it hard to believe not one of the other guys is better. He was awful. He had 14 TDs and 9 came in 3 games. He had 5 games without a passing TD and 5 with only 1. He couldn't even pad his stats against the shitty teams
201 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT against a 3-9 Louisiana Tech team
58.3 comp%/179 yds/0 TDs/1 INT/10 rushes/-1 rush yds against a shitty 5-7 Auburn team
220 yds/0 TDs/2 INTs/14 rushes/16 rush yds against a shitty 6-7 Florida team
211 yds/1 TD/1 INT/11 rushes/-1 rush yds against a shitty 5-7 Vanderbilt team
143 yds/0 TD/0 INT/8 rushes/17 rush yds against a mediocre 7-6 Kentucky team
Oh, but what about his legs!
Motherfucker had a 4 game stretch that he had 39 rushing attempts and amassed a stellar 3 fucking yards. 3 yds on 39 attempts.
That's really bad, but we get all of these excuses now so he's gonna get a clean slate because
He was hurt, sure he was.
His o line sucked, every shitty QB gets this excuse.
The play calling held him back!
I watched him miss multiple wide open deep balls and over throw receiver after receiver.
Sure, the guys might be all rah rah rah around him, but that's only because he's the starter and that's what teammates do.
Nothing about his play should warrant him getting a chance to start this year. [Reply]
If Cook is truly your best option then that just says a lot about the complete failure of Drinkwitz to find a QB worth a damn in his time in Columbia. Don’t really care as much about getting a 5* talent unfortunately when your ceiling is capped with shit QB play year after year. [Reply]

Just to be clear, it's impossible that Cook has continued to improve? [Reply]
