Obviously would rather keep him than not, but it is what it is.
I read somewhere that Mizzou is dead last in the Power 5 in 'catchable ball' percentage. We kill Pyne (and we should, he's laughably awful) but that's still a Cook stat.
He's just been god-awful this year. And we've said it virtually every game - even when he's 'on' he's missing balls left and right. It's not the OL, it's not the receivers. He's just regressed something awful and he's just playing terrible quarterback.
No reason to expect any real changes on that front at this point in the season. Last season was clearly fool's gold.
Sucks.
I think about the best sales job you can put on a QB right now is that when Cook was simply decent last season, this team was a tough out. Don't let Cook convince you that this program can't win with you - if anything he proves that it CAN. Because it's having an okay season even with him being one of the worst QBs in major college football this season.

Cook had 3 really good games his first year as a starter, then a 5 game streak last year that was good. Outside of those 8 games he's been really bad to average. He can't even run up the score on cupcakes. Drink is obsessed with him for some reason and I don't understand it. The only thing that I can think of is that Drink is an egomaniac/smartest guy in the room and isn't going to ever admit that he's wrong about something.
