Looks like Cook sh*t the bed at the combine

[Gatorraid81]

yes

I'll admit, was really surprised to see him be such a bust.

Upright running style isn't a good fit, and it doesn't help that he went to a bad team.

There's the muppet, I've missed you. Theory?
Well I guess your right, my father ain't a Gator and I don't hate him.

Nah man, I was talking about your inference that the reason Im not all over cook is because hes not a gator, youve implied it a few times.

Fournette is ten times the talent that Cook is. And those mock drafts that had Cook going in the first round were before he showed what a mediocre physical talent he was at the combine.

Yes I do believe I did imply something sort of along them lines.

I saw a mock yesterday that had Cook going 23 to the Giants. Yes I agree with you that Fournette is more talented. The one thing I kind of question with Fournette is toughness. By that I mean, he seemed to take himself out of a lot of action this past year nursing an ankle I think. I understand he's got millions on the line, but I don't see that flying in the NFL. But he should succeed.

In my opinion Fournette should be the first back off the board, but both backs will be off the board by the end of the first round.

Well looks like I was wrong with Cook, and he wasn't taken in the first rd. I'll eat my humble pie like I said I would. Still think the guy will do good in the NFL and some team is gonna get him cheap now.

You manned up and I respect that. Would like your post twice if I could.

Wouldn't surprise me if Cook went undrafted. Either way, he'll be cut in training camp.

His McDonald's career will start even earlier than anticipated.

His shoulder is trashed.

I thought he was a lock too. If Pack get him in the early second, that'll be scary in the offense. Let's hope the Browns snag him

I dont see it. I think Cook is the better back. We will see. Combine aint real football. It is a beauty pageant.

Fournette is the better overall back, however he's also more likely to be on the IR

Time will tell. Cook is a more complete back while Fournette is a 2 down back. As a Jag fan (and not a Cook fan), I hope you're right...minus the IR part.

The Buc fans that are also FSUcks fanss are acting like the morons they are...one guy said he hopes that Cook runs all over Tampa when they play. He's a Buc fan and say that trash. Most people think the Bucs got the steal of the 1st round. These idiots are whining and complaining. F em

Cook is a fine back but he doesn't fit the Bucs' style of back - least what they've had lately with Martin, Rodgers & going back to Rainey. Those guys run low & squirm their way to 8 yards or more. Cool can break tackles but he's looking for a crease & go - and those creases are rare in the NFL.

He's Reggie Bush 2.0. He'll average less than 4 YPC if he's used as an every down back.

I thought Cook was going in the first round as well, especially with NO at 32.
