Bring on the LSU fans.

I realize he isn't the cyborg Fournette is. I realize he isn't going to have as many SportsCenter jaw-dropping plays, but he's the Jamaal Charles to Fournette's AP.

The dude's patience, vision and ability to subtly setup defenders is incredible. He's also strong enough to run between the tackles and has the best breakaway speed in the nation. And all of this is on one and a half hamstrings.

I get that everyone has FSU fatigue, and the media doesn't want another year of an FSU player with domestic violence history being the country's top star, but Cook is incredible.

If he didn't have that hamstring injury he'd have better #s than Fournette

Agreed. Yal should have him on a borderline pitch-count up until the Clemson game.

He's incredible. I love our front seven and don't think anyone can lineup and run right at them, but our LBs don't have elite sideline speed. I'm worried about them in coverage against Cook and in some of those toss/stretch plays yal run.

He wouldn't have better numbers due to the style of offense. He will or should I say be a first round pick.

Two people caught him on that td run. I haven't seen anyone catch LF from behind.

LSU fans so butthurt up in here.

Dcook is our offense. I'd be shocked if he gets 20-25+ carries vs. GT and Syracuse

LSU and FSU's offenses are very similar.

The dude is toasting people on one leg. You can have an honest debate whether he is better than LF, but if you think anyone has ever caught a healthy Cook from behind you're being an ignorant homer.

Cook has been playing hurt the last 2 weeks and is still putting up insane #s. Let that sink in

Not really FSU can complete a forward pass

They also use the TE as a weapon.

The basic concept is the same but the execution is not.

He pulled up because of hammy.... Cook is much better in space and better at catching the ball. The comparison of AP and Charles is pretty good, but I think Cook is more like Ricky watters... He can catch it out of the backfrield and he can run between the tackles and in space.
