    I thought Cook's performance today was reasonably good. One of the only "bright" (and I mean relatively speaking, to the extent that anything could be considered "bright" when tempered by the vast sense of disappointment and failure in this team) spots of the day. I think he will continue to improve and realize his potential.

    I tell you this, at this point I'll take him over Scaife. They've both dropped balls, but the difference is Scaife has clearly peaked and can't blame his botched plays on inexperience, unlike Cook. Cook, in my opinion, still has upside. Stevens has demonstrated he is the total package, but I'm encouraged by what I saw from Cook today.

    Cook if used correctly would be a monster. He just doesn't have a coach smart enough to use him logically.

    WTF do you think they have been doing? He has been playing in the slot like a WR the whole time. He doesn't even play on the line. What more are they supposed to do?

    Cook instead of being a big play TE will basically be a big possession WR with some after the catch ability. He just needs to catch the ball more consistently.

    I don't know if he will ever be a real TE.

    I don't know if there is any evidence at all that suggests experience improves a player's hands.


    It's hard to compare Cook to the other Te's right now because that is not his role.

    I don't want a LT like Stevens to be our TE his to slow and FAT to be in a TE we need to cut him ASAP.

    We need to draft a TE and move Cook to WR.

    Cook is more athletic than Stevens for sure, but a better TE for a run first team?
    Not so much.
    Different teams use TEs differently, for a run first team you need a Stevens type player. Block first catch second.

    It's to early to give up on him but with that said I haven't seen anything from Cook that's made me think he's going to be great and quite frankly, I'd rather see Stevens start over him. We used a 2nd and 3rd round pick to get him and so far he hasn't been worth either. I give him 1 more year before he's a bust.
