Good news. It is Horn’s to go get.


This is practically a no lose proposition for Drink. He likely believes that we will win the first couple of games comfortably so he can afford to showcase the talents of each QB to the fans.

Here is my concern (and I hope I’m wrong), maybe Horn’s just not the guy we thought we were getting. Maybe he really isn’t as good as Cook. Maybe Drink knows this. Even knowing this if he plays Cook all year as the better QB, and we have a so-so season, he’ll be pilloried for not giving Horn a chance.

If the fans see Cook significantly outperform Horn in games 1 &2, the second guessing may subside a bit.

Again, I hope I’m wrong and Horn goes out and KILLS it and we discover we have an SEC caliber QB!!!

Horn hasn't had enough game time to make that call yet.

I hope Horn wins this battle, he seems to have more upside than Cook.

It shouldn't matter that Cook is tight with Drink. If my job was on the line I would make sure I had my best option on the field.

I think splitting the games is smart. If Cook is better, great.

The only thing that’s going to help Drink is winning games. If Cook looks like the best option and we end up 5-7, that’s not going to help Drink.
