Jared Cook is Proof

[WarnerToBruce]

System matters. Coaching matters. Instead of being head case that drops passes, he dominates and makes game winning circus catches now.

Goff, Gurley and Tavon have a chance now!

Maybe even Quick?

Nah. This is the same Cook he's always been.
Drop, drop, good catch, drop, drop, drop, great catch, drop.

I agree that he's elevated the game in his head. That being said, it's not like he had a banner year. In fact, Kendricks had a better reg. season.

 

[SteezyEndo]

So resign Quick? Because its apparent the coaching was lackadaisical we might have something?... If thats true the front office should feel nervousness....

Nah. This is the same Cook he's always been.
Drop, drop, good catch, drop, drop, drop, great catch, drop.

what game were you watching?

what game were you watching?

I'm talking about his whole career.
You do realize he had two drops before that sideline catch, yeah?

what game were you watching?

Same game I was. Typical Cook makes some good catches then misses easy ones on 3rd downs. Then he makes a great play that almost makes you forget about those easy catches on 3rd down that just bounce off his hands.

Six catches on eleven targets tonight.

55%. That's about right.

I saw one. The ball that hit him in facemask was tipped right in front of him. Either way, he was hero of Divisional playoff game. Great QB but you can't take it away from him.

I'm not trying to take anything away from him. It was a great catch.
I just reject the notion that a better system and QB have made him a better player.
He's still the same guy. Had a better catch % with the Titans and Rams (barely).

And??

 

[SierraRam]

Cook would drop a pass and disappear or attack his QB. That shit won't fly with Rodgers. JJ made reference to the Giants as a team full of guys who "want to win." The same is obviously true for the Packers. Hopefully our team will change their 'tude. IMHO that comes directly from the Head Coach

 

[den-the-coach]

Fine go get Aaron Rodgers and then we can keep all of the Tight Ends and Wide Receivers.

Not saying he didn't have a good game. But to act like he was amazing and the Rams never saw that kind of performance just isn't true. Two drives before the amazing late catch on the sideline he lets one bounce right off his hands on 3rd down that would've extended the drive and might have put the game out of reach. That's Cook, screw up the easy and then the difficult makes you think he's amazing. When if he was really good he'd make those easy catches too.

And that, this was typical Cook that he's given his entire career even when he was with the Rams.

I was as frustrated with Cook's inconsistency as anyone but no coincidence he stepped up with GB. Winning is infectious. The man's got skills.

that ball was deflected.

Well, sure. You don't to this level without skills.
He's just not as great as you're trying to make him sound.
That's my opinion, anyway.

 

[OldSchool]

that ball was deflected.

By his hands.
