At the time, absolutely fair questions, not crazy at all, and it was errors, plural, over the course of Geno's career. You usually don't engage in this kind of Monday-morning quarterbacking. The DUI incident occurred in January 2022. I do agree it was downright idiocy, the one poster who said Geno was worse than Brandon Browner, given Browner is in jail for attempted murder. Please don't smear me with that, I said nothing of the sort.
Geno has "written back" with his play on the field, and it's obvious the team will follow him to the gates of hell and back. None of this was "obvious" in early August of 2022.
But what are the multiple 'errors'? He got punched by a teammate and there was a story written about it that cast Geno as selfish. Since, there was another article written where the dude who punched him refused to say anything negative.
It's funny. We revere players from yesteryear guys like Namath and Stabler as players who were legendary for their leadership and play. But guys like the Snake notoriously showed up to games half drunk and yet they led teams and weren't questioned for their leadership. I'm not saying its right, just that there's a ridiculous double standard when it comes to Geno - or when it came to him. So solid was the die cast based that the evidence on the field that he laid out there for everyone to see was entirely ignored or outright dismissed. Everything successful thing he did was a fluke, just good fortune or God knows what. Getting stopped for a dui doesn't make one a bad person or poor leader. It's a poor jusgement call that many 'good', character people make. Can it be a sign of deeper issues? Sure. But you have to weigh everything you know of the person to draw a reasonable conclusion. And like I said, with Geno, almost everything good was enthusiastically disregarded by many.
