Cook to Ravens


Recommended Posts

Let's see if he is on the active roster or PS before we start losing our minds over this one.

Nevertheless, he was a bad signing for the Jets. Paid him $7M to rehab and work his way back into playing shape for the Ravens.

Jet fans: He’s washed. Terrible signing. 

Jet fans after seeing him in playoffs: Jets suck. They couldn’t find a way to use him!

 

Much rather give the ball to Gus.  Their RB unit has been so damaged by injuries that there's hardly any depth, so I get the signing.  Don't hold your breath waiting to see much of him unless there's another big RB injury.  But hey, you just get yet another opportunity to rip Jets fans.  And it's more than clear how much you love that.

And the inevitable Super Bowl ring

Here’s a very simple rule everyone here should follow when reading opinions about a player like Dalvin Cook on a site like this.
The people who post on message boards about football (and just about everything else) have no idea what they’re talking about, yet they consider themselves qualified to do so because they go to, or have a tv and watch games on Sunday.

They’re either old, and have too much free time on their hands (raises hand), young and stupid, or bored middle aged underachievers looking to find a sense of self worth amongst strangers on the internet.

If you think I’m being too harsh here, just go back and read any IGT you want to choose from during this or any past season. Do that, and then try to argue my point about all of us being old, bored or stupid… I dare you.

I guess the Ravens don't agree with some of the experts on JN claiming he's washed... 

 

Nah, he was chillin', collected a few mill and did NOT give a **** the moment 8 went down.

So, Dunning-Kruger affect combined with dissociation??

Well if he doesn't get hit as the ball is given to him me thinks he will do just fine , looked like he was good for 5 or 6 yards here if he got a block

Yes and proud of it! Haha the life of a jet nation poster...

Also there are no jets fans where I am, so getting news and talking jets is fun. There is the fun aspect. But overall none of us know shot about the game other than watching it and reading way too much about it

Yup. I live close enough to Canaveral that the house shakes during launches. I read and watch a Lot of stuff about new launch and space tech, vehicles, and even get to go inside several Aerospace Facilities for work (Lockheed,  L3, Aerojet Rocketdyne etc) and can quote the entirety of The Right Stuff from start to finish,  but sadly I am not exactly Werner von Braun. 

 

Just a fan.

 

Them again, I probably know more than some of the Janitors, IT guys, and HR people... and right now, the Jets are equivalent to NASA and the Space Program if they got rid of all of the qualified engineers and put Jim from accounting in charge of the Artemis Program. 

 

So, I got that going for me.

The Ravens must not be a good organization because I have read here that good organizations don’t sign washed players like Cook.

They aren't paying him $9 million. Minor difference. To take away touches from Breece Hall. 🙄

This is a smart signing by the Ravens.

Cook gets a small contract late in the season, goes to the practice squad, and learns the Ravens system over the next few weeks during their playoff run.  If the team has any significant injuries at the RB position over the next few weeks, he can step in and be serviceable while handling a relatively large load.

This is not comparable to the Jets signing him in August to a relatively large, guaranteed contract.  With Hall, Carter, Knight, and Abanikanda all on the roster, there was simply no need to do it.  He wasn't bringing anything special to the table.
