Is Cook worth it?

based on his production so far this year, he may actually be underpaid

Can you imagine what this offense would look like without Cook. He has been the MVP for the Bills this season and that includes 17.

I got laughed at last year when I said he was a borderline top 5 back. And so I should have been...... I was way underselling him. 

 

James Cook is freaking awesome.

Yea he has been the Bills best player this year. Zero doubt about it.

He's not worth paying a top RB contract to, but not because he's any kind of headache.

He's not worth it because he's not elite.

He isn't a great weapon in the passing game (he's capable there, albeit with the occasional case of the dropsies, but nothing special), he comes off the field on third downs because his pass blocking stinks, and he's a guy whose load you have to manage.

So if he's not a three-down back, he's not a huge weapon in the passing game, and he comes off the field for key third downs, how to you justify handing him a big contract? Simple: You don't.

Let him play out 2025 and then walk. Ray Davis and Ty Johnson and a draftee will be perfectly capable replacements. If you feel the need to spend money on the running game, allocate those dollars to Connor McGovern instead.

This aged well

This could be a hall of fame thread. You can save it for the grand children for those rainy days..

To bad you will be dead..

I wish that I had the energy or time to go through it. I’d love to see the highlights. There must be some hilarious posts that aged like milk. There’s another Cook thread when he asked to get paid that’s pretty hilarious as well. I started scrolling through that one last week.
