The QB from Michigan State

burningmetal

People bring Connor Cook up a lot. He's just very average. Michigan St. pumps out career backups all the time, and he looks like a lot of them. Has a good frame, but is kind of stiff and never really does anything that stands out. He does enough to help his team win games, but hasn't shown much against the better teams he's played against.

If we're looking for a true franchise QB, I'd look elsewhere. I like this kid Brandon Doughty, from Western Kentucky, but scouts seem to have something against him. I wanted him last year, but it turned out he didn't even declare for the draft even though he was a senior. He applied for a medical hardship waiver and got an extra year of eligibility. He put up ridiculous numbers last year, and is doing it again this year (yes the competition is bad, but it's better than what the likes of Joe Flacco and Tony Romo faced in college). And he has good size at 6'3'', 209 lbs.

I'd take a shot on him at some point in the draft, but if he choose to come back after the year he had last season, it's obvious teams have some knock on him. I don't see what it could be. Look for him to be the next guy to make scouts look like idiots for decades to come.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
