If Cook punted in their championship game, he must be decent at it. Maybe takes on pooch punting when offense is across the 50. A 65 percent passer who can punt, there's a historic TD waiting to happen.
 
I don't think Cook's future is at QB. I think he wants it to be but I don't see it after watching him throw.
 
Good to have QB options, we will see where Boyle ultimately ends up after this year, Cook could move to TE depending on Stanley's development and Mansell will be here as well next fall. At the least, will be a very interesting QB battle in '17 for the Hawks.
