Connor Cook in Denver

[TheVictors]

Being worked out by the Broncos, according to a little bird I know at Dove Valley ... can't say he's on the radar for most Broncos fans but at a time Kirk Cousins name came up a bit as a possible trade.

Not just because both played at State, but they do seem very similar - what does Cook bring to the table that Cousins did or didn't? I can see Cook in the Kubiak scheme.

Cook has more raw talent than Cousins, better arm, quicker release, he's bigger, stronger, and faster. Cousins has improved his accuracy since becoming a pro, but Cook has shown the ability to thread the needle more in college.

The thing with Cook is, if he hadn't gotten hurt vs Maryland he might have been a top 10 or even top 5 pick, he was having a great season and was looking like a pro more and more. That injury gave people a false sense of his talent, he was a shell vs Iowa and Alabama. Even though he carved up Penn State, you could see his arm was dead in that game too. A healthy Cook gets us at least 2 more scores vs Iowa and at least 2 scores vs Bama.

To me, Cook compares to Ruthlessraper. Rapelessberger has a better arm, but Cook is probably a bit farther along in his reading a defense. Nothing he does looks pretty.....but he's one of those guys that will get it done.

He's not mature.....like Ben.....but if he grows up a bit he could be a very good NFL QB.

I think he'd be a great fit in Denver.....because he wouldn't have to carry the team.....the defense is going to do that. But, he could also keep defenses honest and help open up the running game a bit better than noodle arm did his last couple years. Cook throws a good deep ball and isn't afraid to challenge defenders (look at the Burbridge vs. Lewis matchup last fall).
