Oh, okay. Yeah, I saw that too. It was the old "Dammit, I was open!" gesture.I was actually talking about the final pass of the game where he turns to Davis and throws his hands up in the air after the ball fell incomplete. I don't have a problem with fire and passion, but not when he's using it against his teammate instead of the other team.

He's not perfect, but he's a damn good receiving option for Davis. They all can't be Jimmy Graham or Vernon Davis.
Okay for Davis to have fire in the belly but not Cook... double standard.
Probably was pissed like the rest of us that we lost.

Frankly (and I'm not trying to defend my defense of him), but I would be pissed too.
I hear ya. But two drops with the amount of targets he gets isn't too bad. Graham has one, Rudolph has 4, and Cook has 2. I never expected him to be elite. I just expected him to be a big, fast receiving target who can provide a decent downfield option.If he had better focus (and as a result, better hands) he could be close to those guys. That's what's disappointing about him. It's not that he sucks ... it's just that he could be elite and he's not there.
Yeah, I'm not blaming Davis for that either - hell of a game he played. Addressing your initial point, I don't think he has a personal problem with Davis. I obviously can't know that for sure though. Davis is a UDFA and Cook is a high priced FA, so the inverse is entirely possible as well.Yeah, I can understand wanting the ball when the game's on the line, and he was open. But Davis never had time to look in at Cook; there was pressure in his face almost immediately.

Maybe I'm just greedy. But I think Cook can be a guy that keeps opposing DCs up sweating at night and having nightmares when they do manage to fall asleep.
Not really, more how he uses. Davis uses it to beat up on the other team. Cook uses it to beat up on himself and his teammates. Gotta agree that he needs to learn how to control it, nobody's denying him his right to be passionate, but turning it against your teammates is a big no-no that we all learn in the most basic level of competitive sports.Okay for Davis to have fire in the belly but not Cook... double standard.
I'd put T Austin in that category too. We just haven't seen it - yet - consistently.

He's a leader, he went to help his guy in his anger, I won't abide by trying to blame somebody for trying to be a leader, nor will I abide by calling trying to be a leader dumb. Cook can be angry, but he needs to control himself, shoving anybody is BS and you can try to blame AD all you want, but we all know Cook was well in the wrong, which is why he apologized, because he knew what he did was wrong.Totally disagree. You are the QB... Know you players; who you confront and who you have to let stew in their own crap..... AD was the only one dumb enough to go near Cook at that moment. 2 wrongs are still 2 wrongs.
