Horn was outplayed. Deal with it.
Was he really he threw 5 passes 1 tipped ball INT while it was a little behind the reciever it should have been a catch, nice downfield completion, underneath TD pass to Burden, scramble 1st down throw to Stevens and his only inc a back shoulder fade caught out of bounds by Wease which was a good ball just a tad outside. Yes he did not look as comfortable running the show but Cook has a year as a starter under his belt so that is expected. Add to that the situation of the game was way different. Horn was playing in the sleepwalking 2nd half. The team's focus was down and the playcalling was anemic at best. Cook looked pretty sharp overall but made his own mistakes. Threw twice into double coverage and once late on a 3rd odwn that was also a high ball missed by Wease which led to Meavis' 1st missed FG.

Yes, he was outplayed.
He didn't move the team. He was tentative. Those who are complaining that he "only had 5 passes" are ignoring that, had he moved the chains he would have had the opportunity for more passes.
On the interception he locked onto one receiver, threw his 97 mph fastball behind him and was intercepted.
What nobody wants to mention is on that same play he missed a wide open receiver 30 yards downfield that would have given him the 70 yard touchdown pass that some of our fans think he should throw every time.
Finally, bottom line. He led the team to one score. That's what the game is about. Scoring. Hopefully, more than the opposition.
I'm a Sam Horn fan. I believe he can be great. He wasn't ready to prove that last week.
That doesn't mean he can't overtake Cook and become #1 yet this year.
Anyone who is bitching about this, again, needs to get over it.
