my ideal scenario is that Horn/Garcia make it clear...

that some combo of them is QB1 and QB2. Like undoubtedly between them, we have starter and backup. Don't care which.

Then what I want is for Brady Cook to transition to WR.

Brady Cook is absolutely a True Son. He's what any one of us would've been had we been clearly a D1 talented athlete, because he CLEARLY is a D1 talented athlete. He's born and bred Mizzou, bleeds Black and Gold, and is obviously a good kid. And he plays his absolute heart out. He's just not quite good enough a QB to be what we need.

But he understands football, he understands our offense, and he can run and has good size. Convert him to WR and let him be a weapon out there. He won't take catches away from Luther Burden or anything, but he could be every bit for us what a guy like Kerry Meier was for kansas back in 2008ish.

And then every once in a while we run a WR pass with Cook, because we know he can do it.

That's an ideal scenario. Means we have clearly better QBs but still get to let a guy that would die for Mizzou be on the field. We always need guys like that.
