Is Cook worth it?

"Not elite"

[Freddie's Dead]

"He can be easily replaced by Ray Davis and Ty Johnson...."  Let's face it, at $12M/year, we *****in' stole him.

Has 753 yards rushing, 2nd only to Jonathan Taylor's 850 and he has played an extra game.

The only back in the NFL who is better than cook right now is Tayler.

 

I do think if we figure out the passing to backs, especially out of heavy groupings, it might be a wrap.

Greg Olsen (who I thought was excellent today) described one of Cook's traits nicely when he said that Cook "gets skinny."

 

Cook really has a knack for using his lack of size to squeeze into and out of crevices and seams.

It'd be better to spread the money around and keep Johnson, Davis, and bring in a big pounding back with the extra money. We have a lot of needs.

As someone who never doubted James Cook's talent just what his durability would be over the course of his contract 

 

This is one I want 100% happily eat Crow on 

 

He's looking like Chris Johnson

I’m not sure my opinion on cook has changed much but that where that lands in relation to the board has varied wildly 

 

I remember being frustrated as hell we were keeping such an electric player in the sideline. 
 

I was confident he was among the best in the league 

 

I still think he is 

 

at 12m im pretty ok with the deal and he has shown an extra gear this year that’s exciting to watch 

 

but it couldn’t be more frustrating that he seems to not be allowed on the field in any passing situation or two minute drill or a lot of short yardage plays…. and I still think it’s weird to pay a guy 12m who you take off the field for the biggest plays

Very frustrating

Okay okay, i admit the little guy is really good at what he does, we should keep him on the team, 

 

 

GO BILLS!!!

Yes, my god. I'm dying for a creative passing game coordinator.

I said it all off-season, the hatred for Cook reached ridiculous levels. All bc he wanted to be paid what he deserved and put out a couple social media posts 

 

People let their anger got to a point where they truly believed that Ray Davis and Ty Johnson were just as good. Pure insanity.

 

Not to put this poster on blast. But this one almost made my head explode when I read it 😄

Cook is the best player on offense.
