despite your "feelings" about how great he was. If we had a decent QB last year, we would have been a serious contender for the playoff, and very well may have won it.
Here's the actual stats:

He was 23rd in total yards. Good, but not noteworthy or special. So we had a Top 6'ish team and the 23rd best QB. Now help me try to figure out the weak link here. When you look at some of the other stats he gets up to 15-20, but same difference.
And, of course, as has already been mentioned, Cook had little to do with the TEAM'S success last year. The defense and Cody Schrader had a LOT more to do with it. Cook hindered what the could do, of you're being honest.
