Jared Cook is Proof

[LesBaker]

Cook just had his WORST year ever.

So what is he an example of?????????????????????????

 

[Billy Baroo]

Lol.
No way, man.
Cook will never be a great player.
He's ok. That's all he'll ever be. Just like Lance Kendricks. Just ok.

never said he's great.

 

[OldSchool]

I get it, you think he missed some catches. Happens to them all. Ask OBJ. Yet there he was when it counted.

Not think, I and everybody but you know that he dropped passes from having watched the game. Have a great night Ramsbro. I'm done with this topic of a former Rams player.

He's only played a few games w Rodgers

Twelve.

2 or 3 good games, 9 or 10 that were just average. He's like that with every team he's played on. Can't really convince me otherwise, but that's okay. You like him, think he's a hero, and that's all we need to know, right?

Look again. He missed six games this year due to injury.

 

[FRO]

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).

He is being relied on less too and has less defensive attention.

not my hero. Green Bay's. He's has a QB for the first time ever. If you don't see the correlation, that's fine. I do.

I don't. His production hasn't moved an inch yet.
Maybe next year or something, but yeah -- I don't see it.

Well, according you your own chart, he started 5 reg season games with Rodgers. 2 more productive playoff games.

Started 5, played in 10. Plus 2.
That's 12. Guys do catch passes in games in which they don't start.
What was productive about the Giants game? 5 catches on 9 targets for 48 yards.

 

[RamFan503]

what game were you watching?

The game where he dropped two before catching that last pass. You?

 

[RamFan503]

And??

And.... he is part of a better offense ... period. He is just normally less able to kill the GB offense and occasionally has a good game. Same guy.

Fact is, he's been injured this year. Rodgers is getting more and more confident with him. We'll see what happens in Atlanta. He's best TE (stat wise) Rams have ever had. I'm not a Cook fan as a Ram and we were all left wanting more. However, the more is showing in his first season with a playoff team. I don't think it coincidental.

Ball that hit him in facemask was tipped. Who doesn't drop passes btw? He caught THE pass... and we are all jealous.

 

[Prime Time]

These stats don't tell the whole story. How was the placement of the ball? Was it catchable? I still don't trust Jared Cook.

According to these stats, Brian Quick was the most reliable wide receiver on the Rams.

Jared Cook: 30 catches/2 drops/3.9% drop percentage

Tavon Austin: 58 catches/7 drops/6.6% drop percentage

[Florida_Ram]

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

I don't know if you've had that avatar before @-X- but it's the best one of yours I've seen by far.

 

[lockdnram21]

He's also not the top option like he was here

 

[lockdnram21]

He's only played a few games w Rodgers and he's been one of his favorite targets over the last couple. Gamewinner with Rams?? Not sure I recall one but maybe. Definitely stone hands though.

He should have had 1 I know and he dropped wide open pass... Remember when he got mad at Davis and Hayes had to put him in his place... He's still not that good

 

[jrry32]

Obfuscated by the pissing match over Cook is a fair point, we likely have some untapped potential on this offense due to the broken scheme, poor coaching, and bad QB play over the past few years. I hope to see it flourish in the future.

P.S. I'm glad Cook is gone. Brian Quick's lazy ass can follow him out the door.
