James Cook possible OPY

[Buffalo716]

Offensive player of the year incoming for Jimbo?!?

 

The K gun always ran through thurmanator and James Cook is now officially one of the top backs in the world

 

I always thought he had a lot of talent but needed to work on other areas to become a Bell cow

 

He is legitimately a feature back and I'm glad beane got it done 

 

He has world class vision , amazing burst and has been finishing behind his pads for a while and hes hitting his prime

 

Thank you Jimbo! Your on your way to accolades

I admit I was wrong about cook.  I would not have paid him.  He is showing this year why I’m he IS worth it.

[NewEra]

Definite possibility. As of now, I’d say he or Puka are the leading candidates

[BillsFan130]

He's got to be in consideration for sure.

 

Who else is really ripping it. Jonathan Taylor maybe?

ahh ya puka is doing filthy stuff

 

He is getting 15 targets a game though

I think Jonathan Taylor is the best bet, partially because the Colts need to ride his high usage whereas the Bills could find themselves spreading the ball around more in blowouts or at the end of the season.

 

Puka is a candidate too since Stafford is giving him the full Kupp treatment.  Also something of an injury concern as he fully embraces contact.

 

Then there’s Bijan Robinson who is an all purpose yards master on an offense that can sputter.

 

I’d put Cook at third most likely.

I know this thread is about Cook and so far he's the engine of the offense this young season. What I'm worried about is both Davis and Ty Johnson being so ineffective that something may have to be done if they don't pickup their play. Just look across the field, even for the Saints they have 3 RBs each can make some plays.

well, now that we paid Him, they are working him— getting their money’s worth!

He's quite possibly been the best RB in the NFL for the first month of the season.

Second in rushing yards.  First in rushing touchdowns.  And he's probably had 4-5 shoestring tackles that prevented him from hitting another long touchdown run.

 

I'll quickly admit my take on James Cook was wrong this offseason.  I thought he peaked last year, and could be replaced without much drop-off in our team's offensive production.  But he really took his game up a notch this year, going from a mostly homerun threat to one of the league's best 3-Down backs.

Grammar police! 🥸 it was a typo obviously lol

I don’t really care about awards….

 

But why has Ray Davis averaged less than 3 carries a game thus far? He’s on pace for like half the carries he got as a rookie.

 

Yes Cook needs to run the ball…. Needs his touches. But I’d like to see Davis build on what was last year. Maybe average 7 carries a game vs less than 3.

You realize how valuable Cook is every time Davis or Johnson touches the ball. May be the most valuable player on the team not named Josh Allen. Stud.

Man we picked Justin Shorter right before Puka

He is by far the most impressive player this year. Consistent as hell. A lot of Allen’s success comes from having a balanced running attack to lean on. 1st down is so important and having a back that can rip a 6 yard run out of the gate really helps a drive’s success.

You can't do that. If the Rams knew he was this good, they would have picked him 4 rounds sooner. They were just as surprised as everyone else.

My heart stopped because I thought OPY was a type of injury for a second.

Sorry!

I have a feeling he gets to 1500 yards Rushing. 400 yards receiving and 20 TDs.
