Have we underestimated Cook?

Brady Cook won a bunch of games and had some remarkable moments in Columbia, MO...yet...no one gives him a chance to be drafted or make an NFL roster.

Have we underestimated the Chaminade & Mizzou grad?

Cook was THE talk of the Combine. Among QB's, he swept all events....fastest 40, fastest 3 cone, fastest 20 shuffle, highest vertical, longest broad jump. His 37" vertical was especially jaw dropping.

Doesn't mean he's the next Joe Montana...but I think it forces some NFL scouts to look at him a bit. Anyone surprised by his athletic performance in Indianapolis?

What was Joe Montana's 40 time?

Maybe the Colts will draft him 4th?

Seriously though, Brady Cook was really good at that back shoulder throw last time he played UGA. It's a tough throw to make but it's borderline unguardable.

I like Cook - he's a great leader and a solid QB. I wouldn't be shocked to see him get into somebody's QB room and stick around. Not sure he's a good enough passer to actually play, but you never know.

Yes, among the 2-3 QBs that actually did these events, he swept them. Meanwhile he was towards the bottom in just about all of the throwing drills.

Very underestimated.

Will be extremely hard to replace and get similar results. Especially from a guy that couldn’t beat out the worst starting QB among P4 teams.

You're either woefully ignorant or a deliberate liar. This is from an article I just read. USA Today:

2025 NFL combine: Top five quarterback rankings

"Of the quarterbacks who threw in Indianapolis on Saturday, there were five who stood out in particular. Here's how the top five quarterbacks at the NFL combine shake out, using only their performance Saturday to evaluate each of them:

1. Brady Cook, Missouri

Cook had the strongest outing of any quarterback in the first group. His ball placement was superb on all three levels – short, intermediate and deep throws – which allowed his accuracy and arm strength to shine.


Cook's performance was an especially impressive feat considering he was largely throwing to receivers he hadn't thrown to before. In addition, the Missouri product managed to stand out in a quarterback group that also included Mississippi's Jaxson Dart and Texas' Quinn Ewers."

So which is it? Are you simply ignorant or did you lie?

how are Mizzou fans going to switch up in like a week....



a week ago I was told Mizzou would beat SC next season because they finally got a good QB, and that SC had a better qb and everyone knew that.


some Mizzou fans were really unfair to Cook
