Yes...sign him and focus on finishing the D build.
This.Geno is not the guy. Yes, his stats are very good due to our offensive weapons. Geno lacks the killer instincts to take over a game. All season long Geno was never the guy who took over a game for the Hawks. If you are rebuilding, why pay a QB 30Mil. Go with Lock, build the defense and draft a QB.
This. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees "Do you want Geno?" and "Do you think paying Geno when there's holes all over the team in a clear rebuild is a good idea?" are two separate questions.I like Geno but can we afford him? My gut says "no".
overthecap.com shows us we only have $22.33M in effective cap space in 2023. How on earth can we franchise him in 2023 for $32M? We can't.
So, one option is to sign him for at least three years and give him a huge signing bonus that can keep his 2023 cap hit reasonable ($8 - 10M?) and absorb his MUCH larger cap hits in 2024 and 2025. But my preference is to not make that commitment to him. I'd rather go with affordable youth.
My strong preference is to let Geno go in FA and sign Lock to a 2-year contract at $6 - 8M/year and let him compete for QB1 with either CJ Stroud or Will Levis (using our #5 overall draft pick).
I always hate this argument. Why are we even here then? Expressing your opinion isn't anywhere close to claiming to know more than the front office. I like speculating, and if I'm wrong, I'll just admit I was wrong. This place would be boring without any expressing opinions.It will be fun to listen to all of the haters when we resign Geno. So many clueless know-it-alls, lets let management figure this out, we'll go along for the ride. They actually know more than the fans do.
Get serious, Neither Geno (over 4,000 yards his first full season in over 8 years) NOR ANY OTHER QB is going to "Take Over a Game" when our Defense was PLAYING LIKE WARMED-OVER SHIT.Geno is not the guy. Yes, his stats are very good due to our offensive weapons. Geno lacks the killer instincts to take over a game. All season long Geno was never the guy who took over a game for the Hawks. If you are rebuilding, why pay a QB 30Mil. Go with Lock, build the defense and draft a QB.
What the hell are you talking about? Weapons? Like Lockett, Metcalf, Dissly, Parkinson, Penny and Walker?This team needs weapons for Geno to be our QB1 for the next 3 - 4 years.
We need to add difference makers like Deebo, Aiyuk, Kupp, Kittle, and/or Bosa.
Until we get a few of them, we're carrying a knife into a gun fight with the Niners and Rams (when healthy).
Anybody with half a brain would understand the differences.What the hell are you talking about? Weapons? Like Lockett, Metcalf, Dissly, Parkinson, Penny and Walker?
Finish this sentence for me, if Patrick Mahomes was our QB... (and we had a decent defense)
Answer: We would be headed to the super bowl.
How about this one, Geno was a backup QB because...
Answer: His ceiling is too low.
