Also, I am skeptical of mocks giving the Cowboys a QB in the first round. I hear they are deeply cap-committed to Tony Romo, who at 36 this April might have a couple productive seasons left in him.

I'm not ready to write off Cook just yet either. There is a fine line between being a (rumored) douchebag and being supremely confident bordering on arrogant. I'm not saying he's the next Brady or Rodgers, but those two are pretty damn cocky and arrogant at times too. It's not a bad quality for a QB to have, IMO, if it's managed and focused on the right things.

I've done some reading on this game day captain issue and think it's being way overblown. In addition, I think skipping the Senior Bowl is being overblown. Cook has played a ton of games over the past few years so perhaps he wanted to give it a rest and prepare for the more important test, the Combine. All the other QB's at the Senior Bowl (even Wentz) had something to gain for being there. Cook, not so much. I'm going to hold off judgement on Cook until after the Combined and see how he measures up and hear how he does in his interviews. We'll know a lot more then.
