Cincinnati Bearcats Highlights
Cincinnati Bengals Highlights
Bill Walsh said he was the greatest talent they he ever saw at the QB position. Ever.
Frustrating all these years later for his fans. What could have and SHOULD have been. RIP = Greg.
Because of Army basic training/AIT I never saw him at his peak. My Browns fans and Steelers fans friends who saw him did nothing but rave. The phrase "better than Anderson" came up several times. And since I think Ken Anderson should be in Canton, that's impressive.
I saw Cook play that year, the guy was just amazing. What an arm he had and he could throw every kind of pass in the book.
It was astonishing what he did. I saw it live. A great, great talent.
I was a student at UC in 1969, and the Bengals were playing their home games that year at Nippert Stadium on the UC campus, so we saw all the games (from the 13th floor of Calhoun Hall...;) He was unbelievable, taking an expansion team and whipping the Raiders, the Broncos, and I don't remember who the other team was in that first stretch. So sad how his life ended up.
I'm 57 years old. I remember *both* my Grandpa *and* my Dad saying "there was NEVER another QB like him." I believed them. I wished I could have seen Greg play!!! RIP Greg.
Had Cook not gotten hurt and played to his potential, no one would have ever heard of Ken Anderson or he would have been an unknown backup like Turk Schonert or Jack Thompson
Jack Thompson!💯💯 what a bust!
Or..Anderson would not have been drafted by Cincy.
@@robertsprouse9282 Anderson at 6-3 215 was a bigger version of Joe Montana.
I am in my mid 60s, have been a Bengal fan (along with my father who hated the Cleveland Browns) since the first Bengal game in 68. Greg Cook in 1969 was electric. He made the whole team better. Each year you went into camp hopeful he could come.back, only to have your hopes dashed. He had every tool you want in a QB, big, fast, had a rifle arm, leadership, field command, hard worker, team respect. Huge disappointment he did not have the career he would have had. Bengals have still never won a Super Bowl. That would not be true if Greg Cook did not get hurt before medical technology to repair his shoulder existed.
I remember him and the buzz surrounding him. What a shame.
The Bob Ross of football.
Awesome, thanks for uploading!
Dad always said he was the best Bengals qb ever until Burrow
another reason among so many to dislike the Chiefs
Same thing will happen to J.B. if they dont get a competent pass protection
Sadly. You will be correct if they don't do like you said. I hold my breath each game.
@@MrPocketfullOfSteel And now he's out for the year smh. Hate to see it.
Joe Burrow wasnt even hit when he hurt his wrist. It was a freak injury.
He was the original Jeff George 6-4 220.
Except Cook was actually good he just got hurt. George was never good lol
Jeff George would have been backup to Greg Cook.
@@williamhermann6635 George was good ppl still talk about the throws that he made at the combine.
@@dwightlove3704 Im talking about having success in the NFL. Jeff George did next to nothing as a pro.
@@williamhermann6635 You are right plenty of scouts said that he had a TEN CENT HEAD.
"Bearcats"? WTF?
Cook played his college ball at the University of Cincinnati and Bearcats was their nickname at that time.
Probably the unluckiest athlete in sports history
