Is Cook worth it?

Great analysis.  We have a top 2 QB in the league.  An all timer.  And we are going to to pay our RB top 5 money?   That makes no sense.  We should be all in w the passing game.  Otherwise, why pay Josh $300+ million?  
 

if the offense is going to be run centric, then we certainly have the wrong coaching staff running things.  And speaking of which, I think Joe Brady still has a lot to prove in his play calling, scheme etc.  Our short yardage play calls against KC in the Championship were absolutely terrible.  👎👎

Because he's a pass catching RB. Actually his strength.

We old guys still want that 3 down cloud of dirt and blood RB who forces missed tackles by running over sht in a loaded box

I agree about overpaying Cook, but I don’t love the way this situation has played out. We made the choice to move to a scheme that was more run heavy. Cook produced, and now we don’t want to pay him that amount. I think it would be a huge overpay, but the run heavy scheme would need to be thrown out without Cook.
 

Additionally, this run heavy scheme means nothing if we can’t gain one yard on multiple occasions in a title game. Unfortunately, most fans prefer to blame Kincaid. We’re possibly in the Super Bowl if we knew how to pick up one yard.

Not the whole scheme !

 Can easily be run centric again with proper Coaching on the field and from the Booth lol.

btw

I expect the passing game might be a bit more focused on under Brady.

 Kromer proved his point about "his Boys" 👍 and the run

I'm not convinced that even if we had one of those guys that Beane and McDermott would play them that way.

 

They both came from "RB Committee" central in Carolina. And they've brought that with them. I don't think they subscribe to the "3 Down RB" theory. They've been bringing in different styles of Backs, utilized in different ways, with a specific 3rd Down RB from Day 1. 

 

If we uncovered a Derrick Henry style RB, I'd bet they still wouldn't utilize him as an every down RB. They'd probably still take him off the field for someone else depending on situations and to keep him from taking too much damage.
