5th. Something is wrong with Cook. His velocity is shot to hell. In baseball we call it "dead arm." Cook is throwing spirals that are still floaters.

I haven’t noticed a lack of velocity from a Labrum or Rotator Cuff injury. I do see him wince occasionally and move his shoulder up and down. His velocity is still much better than last year.

A successful SLAP surgery takes a minimum of 6 to 8 months to be completely healed. He was at the Manning camp in June and probably not taking it easy. If he wanted to make sure he was fully healed he should have taken at least 6 months of rehab and waited around 7 months to go all out. He was probably in a hurry to get back so he didn’t lose his job to Horn.

My cousin’s kid tore his Labrum in 17 or 18 water skiing. After his surgery and rehab he still has trouble lifting things over his head without pain and i think he’s 24 years old.

Injury or not Cook is not a P5 QB. A lot of people have got on the Cook bandwagon, but the receivers are what has made him look good. The TD pass to Wease was pretty nice
