Message: [QUOTE="Comstock44, post: 5585658, member: 7457"] Calling it a "lame appeal to authority" misses the point. I’m not saying debate isn’t allowed. It’s a sports board, of course people can disagree. What I am saying is that when a coach who’s put multiple WRs into the NFL over the years (don't forget USC and Alabama) both saw Cook as a starter‑caliber guy, that carries weight. That’s not shutting down debate or throwing crap against the wall. That's laying down facts and adding context. And let’s not rewrite history. You’re the one who labeled him a [I]massive disappointment[/I]. I’m pointing out that the resume doesn’t match that take. He got into trouble at Texas and Washington, that’s why he wasn’t retained there. But since coming to Syracuse he’s stayed out of trouble and by all reports has been a great teammate. That matters. .
