Because if 'average college starter' includes the Mountain West, I'd agree with you. But ultimately he should be a backup in the Power 5. And that's what he was brought here to be - Bazelak didn't work out and Cook ended up with the gig. It's pretty important to remember that 5-star QBs aren't going to let you layer them, especially not in the free transfer era. If you miss on 'your guy' then the odds are pretty good that Cook is who you end up with. If Howell and/or Garcia can't unseat him it would suggest either a blind-spot for Cook (which I just don't think exists here) or a real problem in identifying and/or developing quality QBs.

If the argument is that Cook shouldn’t be a Power 5 starter, I don’t disagree. But to act as if he’s a WR playing QB for an entire season in a gimmicky offense would be inaccurate. Wouldn’t be too concerned if Garcia can’t unseat him. Would be if Horn isn’t able to before the season ends. |

No, he's not Trent Hosick or anything. He's just really limited in what he can do. He's Chase Patton. Patton was smart, hard working and would've started for a number of lesser schools. Or he could've gone about .500 for those Chase Daniel era teams when a truly dynamic passer was taking the program to unprecedented levels. He didn't start at Mizzou because we had a better guy in front of him and that's really the situation we need to find ourselves in.

Unless Horn beats out Cook, I don't see a better QB than Cook on the current roster.

How do you have any idea if any QB is better than Cook? Did you see them play sometime that I didn't? There are 3 4* QBs on this roster. I have a hard time believing that none of them are better than Cook.

Say he gets you to another bowl and you fire him who do you get? How often does it workout when a school fires a coach who gets you to bowls and the guy replacing him does better? Your not getting Meyer or Fitzgerald why not give him more time?

Yeah you ****in' fire him if he can't find a QB after 4 years. That's long enough to find somebody. That's Scott Frost copium talk. Mizzou is SEC. Being happy with mediocre should never be acceptable. That's half of the problem with the program currently. Too many people have accepted mediocrity. |

The Pelini comparison isn't relevant. We're not in a trashcan Big 10 division. We're talking about anything beyond 6-6, not a title game appearance. Quote:
Going into year 4 though, you need to see growth. If you're hitting your ceiling and that ceiling is barely qualifying for an entry level bowl, you need to make a change. 4 years is long enough to start expecting some results. You guys are being nuts here. |

Correct me if I'm wrong here but I don't exactly recall alot of proven names who were serious candidates for the job the last few times ya'll were looking. Rhule comes to mind but he was an unknown at the time. I think your expectations are a little high |

If neither Garcia or Horn can beat out Cook then it’s pretty clear that Drink is clueless in terms of QB evaluation and development.
