Connor Cook watch

Brett Favre has a career 52.4 completion percentage and a career 6.6 YPA (5.7 his senior year).

The 10th highest completion % among college QB's in 1990 (Favre's senior year) was 60.4%. The 10th highest last year was 67.3%, so Hackenberg is a little less accurate relative to his peer's than Favre.

Hackenberg has a terrible supporting cast, but I imagine Favre had a bad supporting cast in college too. Hackenberg does some things well, so he's not being drafted solely based on potential. He's not as raw as his stats indicate and I think we've all seen how QB's can be impacted by having bad offensive lines and receivers who don't get open. I wouldn't want to draft him with our first round pick, because it's hard to tell whether he'll be as good as Goff/Cook if you put him in a better offense, but I'd be fine with taking him in the 2nd round and letting him sit and learn for a year while we rebuild the offensive line.

Oh, whoops; left the caps lock on...

Bosa/ Nkemdiche in the first, Andrew Billings in the 2nd, Kyle Fuller in the 3rd and Connor Cook in the 4th would be my dream draft (at this point).

Cook is ranked 9th on CBS right now. The draft is obviously a long ways off, but I don't see him slipping all the way to the 4th round by then. I don't even see Hackenberg falling to the 4th round even if he plays terribly the rest of the way.

Come on man. Connor Cook in the 4th round..... Some sites have him as the #1 pick in the draft. He is consensus top 10 in the first round on pretty much every draft site. Quit dreaming.

Well, it will be a big test for him today going against Harbaugh and his boys. Let's just say Michigan's D is legit. In fact, believe it or not, right now Michigan's D is ranked 2nd in Total D in the country with only Boston College ahead of them. Northwestern's D is supposed to be stout and they couldn't hang with Michigan. So far, Michigan has lost to a 4th ranked opponent in Utah, Michigan State is ranked 7th, it will be a very telling game to see whether Michigan has really indeed improved to a point whereby they can beat the very top teams.

The Michigan game should be good. I think Cook plays very well under pressure, so we'll see how he does. I like his quick release and ability to get the ball out with defenders in his face. His pocket presence and poise is already better than a lot of pros.

Because he gets the ball out so quick he tends to stare down his WRs. I'll about to catch a plane, so I won't be able to watch this game until next week. I'll be looking forward to watching how he performs.

I agree but that's all that's coming out from pee-wee, high school and college. Very few drop back quarterbacks.

What exactly about Cook gives you the misconception he's a bad QB?

I was never impressed with Hackenberg at any point. When people were talking 1 overall, I had Cook leaps & bounds ahead of Hack (and ahead of Goff too).

The only reason I would even bother to watch him any more is because he's 2 years younger than Cook, so he might get better; he's an infant as far as QBs go (well, maybe a toddler at this point). I don't think there's any chance he enters the draft this year, so Hack is a 2017 topic.

59.9% completion percentage. Reminds me too much of Kirk Cousins. I'll pass until about the 4th round.

No but someone must.
Paxton Lynch arrived out of nowhere

He's very impressive. He's making some big time throws versus a very good defense.

He's in the 1st round already. He's got elite size, a live arm, and he takes care of the ball. That's the winning combo.

Keep reading that his teamates absolutely hate him. Read the same remarks about Hackenberg earlier this year. Should teams be concerned?
