OT Connor Cook not well liked by his teamates????
Sounds like Cook has issues with just coming off as a prick. I thought it odd that he was not a team captain. And of course they way he came off disrespecting Archie Griffin.
If this has already been discussed, please delete.

The next Ryan Leaf. Mark it down.
December 11th, 2015 at 2:39 PM ^
Ryan Leaf was rather childish...I don't know if that fits Cook.
December 11th, 2015 at 12:44 PM ^
You know who else wasn't well liked by his teammates?
MY MOM!

Can we go back to where the UM team is staying, or how many Elliotts threads?

I don't typically defend Sparties....but in this case, I should. There have been plenty of QBs that have come out of college, that were a bit of an ahole. As long as they can play football well in the NFL, no body will care.
From Dan Marino, to Brett Favre to Ben Roethlisberger...plenty of jerks have had great success at the NFL.
This is McShay just talking stuff...and he needs to quit watching that crappy Kevin Costner movie too.
Much ado about nothing.

Cook does not have Ben's arm and putting him the same sentence as Marino and Favre is laughable.

From the State of Ohio. It's the perfect douche storm.

It's a case of Connor Cook being socially awkward and some players have trouble interacting with him.
Regardless, he's seen as a 1st round pick and I know some has him at top 10.

22nd pick.

but why do I have a feeling MSU will take it down to the wire...sigh
December 11th, 2015 at 6:02 PM ^
MSU plus the 9 or 10 points is an easy bet, IMO. MSU will not get blown out. And this is coming from someone that despises MSU to eternity and back. I have learned the hard way to bet with my brain and not my heart.

...like, c'mon. It's just an OT. After hearing Cook talk about "God is good..." after the devil went down to A2 and fumbled the Bunyan to them, a good skewering of him is time well spent.

People are free to post what they please. But, it should also be noted that a great many UM fans are not interested in going through an opposing teams' dirty laundry looking for a minor stain.

First things first, he is a member of the leadership Council at MSU, so he is respected enough to be a leader (voted on by the players). So any comment that he isn't a captain so he must be hated must be put in that context.
Second, he literally immediately apologized to Archie Griffin when he saw the video because he realized that the optics were much worse than what he realized at the time (when he, umm, shook Griffin's hand awkwardly?).
Finally, I am sure everyone loved every Michigan QB ever (Devin Gardner actually was a super nice guy the three times I met him, so lets leave him out of my sarcasm here...).

I don't normally get into player personalities, but imagine the difference if he had been coached by an enthusiastic, competitive Harbaugh, rather than a pissed off Dantonio who thinks the world owes him something.
December 14th, 2015 at 8:07 PM ^
Hard to argue Cook's success under Dantonio.
December 15th, 2015 at 6:37 AM ^
Who's arguing his success?? The conversation centers around his personality (and arrogance).
December 15th, 2015 at 9:55 AM ^
.. as a passer, or whatever. It's about the other stuff. After watching Harbaugh talk about steel spines and humble hearts, and seeing the character of his team, it just makes me wonder if Connor Cook would be presenting himself differently if he hadn't been coached to feel disrespected.
