Has Cook Maximized His Talent?

I appreciate his efforts. And his improved play.
But he’s wilted under the bright lights in our two biggest games. Turns the ball over twice vs LSU late including a pick six.
That pass to UGA’s nose tackle is one of the worst decisions you will see at any level. Then the pass that can’t happen for the second pick.
He missed an open Norfleet in the EZ. He has tunnel vision with LB3.
He has 6 TOs in his last 4 games.
The 212 passing yards in his high water mark since LSUs 411.
It’s frustrating because the talent is there at skill positions. But his arm is getting worse as the season progresses. The D and the run game are bailing us out.
Now. Some of that is likely the play designs and strategy which have been mediocre for weeks now. We shouldn’t be struggling to break 200 passing again.

There is a reason Eli was looking all over the portal for a QB in the off-season. Cook has been much improved but as we’ve seen he buckles under pressure

I don't blame Cook even though I am frustrated with him today. The offense isn't playing to his strengths like before. Does it have something to do with Drink carrying a play sheet?
I don't know why all of a sudden everything is a back shoulder throw. He doesn't have that kind of arm. He's at his best in rhythm, medium range, throwing to several different receivers, with the occasional deep post throw. Now the throws are to the edges with that tired arm.

Cook exceeded his talent.
Watch Penix or Daniels (or Beck) throw ... with arm talent (zip), the middle of the field is wide open ...
Love Cooks heart but he isn't him to go to another level.

Cook is playing way above his potential. I still think Horn would be doing just as good or better. There is a lot of bandwagon Cook fans and over the next few weeks we will see if they fall off.
I’m not blaming this loss on Cook. The only people that could get open was Wease and Burden and both of them missed balls they should have caught. Burden must have tweaked his ankle in the 4th he wasn’t in for some plays late in the game. Norfleet got open a few times in the flat but Cook missed him.
3rd and long to medium we weren’t getting off the field. DB’s made mistakes in coverage and not having Bailey really hurt. Chuck Hicks is not very good and missed plays Bailey would have made.
They are a better than us, but if we would have caught a few breaks we could have won. If Bailey plays I think we would have won.
The pass interference call was terrible.
