I actually met captain munnerlyn's cousin tonight. not kidding either.

just thought id toss it out.

I met someone a few months ago who said their nephew was a WR at the scouting combine that weekend. I have no fuging clue why I didn't ask who it was, it's been killing me since then.

Uhhhh ok. I tackled Danny McBride while dressed as an Atlanta Brave winning the World Series... Two times.

I did. Have met him, his girlfriend (which I've told the huddle about) and now his cousin.

Live in his hometown.

certainly a selfless, kind act

 

but i'm going to be that guy and say he shouldn't make a habit of it

 

 

you'll get a lot of poo for this post. but it's true.

 

 

So it's true that a son shouldn't do things for the woman that actually took care of him, would give her life for him, literally and figuratively if necessary all the days of his life?   I don't think that it's a stretch to say that Cooks would not be the man that he is today but for his mom. I don't know him, but viewing the few interviews that I have about him, seeing him have such success in college and winning the Biletnikoff Award, and being one of the top draftees for 2014 in the NFL, I would say that she did a mighty fine job indeed, and there is nothing that he shouldn't do for her.

 

So...no...there is no truth in your sentiment.

    • He had games where he was a top 10 QB that week, vs Saints, Falcons, Eagles, Chiefs, Bucs.  Amazing performances that I think show what he can do consistently.  
    • We both know there's more that goes into batted passes than just the height of the QB. Most people here have readily acknowledged this and there were numerous discussions about it before we drafted Young. But if you are presenting a POV that Bryce's height hasn't tied to issues with his footwork then there's nothing anyone is going to be able to say to sway you and you know this. Even beyond the footwork I recall a redzone play where Bryce couldn't see around his right tackle at all where a receiver was waiting practically alone in the end zone for a touchdown. There are real world circumstances that are going to show up over the course of the upcoming season and it's up to Bryce and Dave Canales to make adjustments and do anything they can to mitigate negative instances and yes that begins with Bryce's footwork again. Thanks for your time. Have a nice weekend.
    • I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.
