grizpack said:Look at Cook's film folks. For the past 2 years. Most of his passes were short, and his receivers turned them into long gains. He had a couple of great receivers. Last year he had an all state line.
I'm not saying he is a bad QB, or even not a very good QB. But if you watch the film, he has had a lot of short passes turn into very big yardage. Look at Weyer's film. I would take him in a heart beat.
Hope they both do very well. Let's check back in on this conversation in about 4 years.
Like I said, it is the system. I love it. Great passing concepts, easy to implement. Takes a great qb to make it go, not every kid can run the program and it shouldn't take away from what Cook has accomplished. Seems like it might be a dink and dump system, but actually the furthest from it. System teaches kids at qb to read defense, and Cook did that masterfully.
From a statistic level, I can see why people probably dismiss his accomplishments. Guaranteed, any qb less than Cooks ability and that offense next year becomes amazingly pedestrian.
Cook should get looks from the guy who created the system, Tony Franklin who is at Cal as the OC.
