knight526806 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Jared Cook is my top late round flier for this year's drafts. He is still in his prime, and he is finally going to get a chance at a season with a great quarterback. He is way faster, and an overall, better athlete than Richard Rodgers. Cook has big play ability, and Aaron Rodgers likes to throw to a big bodied receiver in the endzone (hence James Jones resurgence last year). I see all the makings of a breakout season here. I'd get him on your bench before the first game of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forever in debt to mo lewis Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Ehhh I chased after Jermichael Finley for YEARS. I'm not getting my hopes up again. finleys best year was like 66-600-8...that was what 5 years ago? after that its been nothing but average, at best, TE production....I dunno if cook is THAT talented to really make a huge difference....cook isn't a bad option if you are waiting on a TE though.....I guess in that offense anything is possible.....its a good offense to own a piece of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 He is absolutely dominating in red zone drills. Nelson and Cobb are solid between the 20's but they're not big-time in the red zone. Cook's seam-ripping speed is going to be big in that offense. Definitely a neat little late-round flier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramhock Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 OK, here is a homer flyer. I am friend's with Justin Perillo's dad, and know Justin. Very nice young man. A little undersized & slow but gets open and from what I hear has not dropped a ball all year, game, scrimmage or practice. Lacking speed, his YAC is low but I think his skills make him perfect for goalline packages. We had Cook and he was a bum. Can't catch, block or run a route. My crazy call is that Justin scores more TDs than Cook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Alot of mouths to feed in that O if they all stay healthy Tight ends prosper when they play with elite receivers. Cook won't be seeing any double teams and Aaron Rodgers is a smart quarterback. The Packers weren't happy with Richard Rodgers last year. He had 58 catches, 510 yards, and 8 touchdowns. If Cook is on the field most snaps, the sky is the limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleshot Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 He hasn't blossomed anywhere he's been and it's not like he hasn't had opportunities. I predict he'll have a couple of big games that make everyone drool over his potential but there's too many other options. If you can draft him late do so but trade his underperforming arse after his first big game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I've heard good things about Perillo, but it will take a Cook injury for him to be relevant. Would he leap past Rodgers as the top receiving TE? Ramhock saying he will score more TDs, which may or may not happen. But that doesn't mean he's worth a roster spot, or that he'll be a better scoring TE than Cook. (Consistency and total points matter more than who gets more TDs, unless you're in a TD only league).

If the current trajectory holds and Cook remains healthy I think he'll be the better fantasy option in terms of Packer TEs.

frenzal rhomb Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Ive watched a lot rams games as a prior cook owner - I can say I have seen him running open quite a bit and the QB just not hitting him. he has great speed and size - not great hands though - i will be happy to get him this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelredd9 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Jared Cook played 33 snaps and Richard Rogers played 25 snaps. The offense played 64 snaps. I still think he can have a solid year. But if he continues to only play half the snaps, he'll surely be inconsistent.

DanTheMan_5 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Yes, one week=sixteen. You mean I can't expect Fuller to go for 1800 yards and 17 TD's this year? In all seriousness, as a former Rams fan, I watched that guy drop so many damn balls I just root against him now, so I am biased and take pleasure in him doing poorly.
