Don't beat yourself up too much about that guy. He's proved everyone, from college to the 49ers, wrong. He couldn't get out of the way of his talent, and now, is going to figure out that the real world doesn't care about how much talent you have, it cares about how often you show up for work.
Wright disappointed a LOT of people throughout his career.

Gotta say, I wasn't a huge fan of this move initially, but I really like what I'm hearing out of camp. This could end up being one of those surprisingly solid moves if he comes into his own here.
CC,
The idea is that we take a few low-risk fliers per year, and hope that one or two hit. Walt Harris is a great example. Or Carlos Rodgers or Perrish Cox or Nmamdi Asumogha...
You win some, you lose some... I like what I'm hearing from him. I remember when he was drafted by the Vikings, I thought to myself... 'Over-drafted', but for vet-min... Ill take it!

Fans love to win the offseason. Get all the ESPN and NFLN buzz, but when the games start mattering, that's when the truly elite FOs start to distinguish themselves.

I really don't care bout the price tag just the fact that Cook is a horrible corner. Rogers and Harris were average respectable corners. Hope Cook balls out but I just don't see it.

Chris Cook fails the Youtube test.
When I type in "Chris Cook highlights" I get videos from some random dude and when it does show the right videos, it's of him getting in a fight on the side line. If Cully doesn't rise to pre-superbowl form, we're fscked. If the FO brings in a vet to compete in camp, then that probably shows how confident they are about our current secondary.

lucky the you tube test when he was not a niner means zero now that he is on a new team with better players, coaches and winning atmosphere around him

That wasn't meant as any serious measure of talent.

you should google 1970's niner highlights on you tube and see some good fun stuff from the niners . brody faking the run to set up touchdown passes to gene washington,,, roman..... the gold rush doing what they do.. its fun to see those old nfl highlights by the hall of fame announcers they had back in the day

Yes, because as we all know, that's a good barometer of the quality of a contributor. I swear, some of you guys can act like pompous dicks on the Internet.
