Not sure if this is a joke or serious. But the only QB Raiders fans would really want who has played for the Seahawks is... Darnold. Sorry, not available!


Baker Breadman is a satire poster on X. He has funny takes and I enjoy his humor.

We dodged a bullet..not necessarily saying with Geno we would be 1-3 with him right now if he had stayed...but starting to wonder now ..thinking perhaps a lot of our issues..was GeNo..Raiders are suffering and Geno is fun to watch again that he's destroying someone else's team.
We absolutely dodged a bullet. It still sounds like Schneider would've given him the extension Geno wanted, and that it was Geno who forced himself off the team.
If Geno didn't act like Geno he would still be the Seahawks QB. To me it was a no-brainer getting rid of him. He's at the age where he is likely to be getting worse, and his best season with us was his first season starting. He was trending in the wrong direction.

As for Pete, he has some protection because supposedly Tom Brady wanted Geno more than he wanted Darnold. There's no way Tom Brady isn't involving himself in the QB situation.

I’m sure people will blame chip kelly too. Maybe it is his play calling. But Geno is forcing so many of his throws. I’m glad he’s gone. We really lucked out with letting go of our last 2 QB’s. Maybe John does know what he’s doing.
Schneider offered Geno basically the same extension the Raiders ended up giving him. Geno would still be our problem if it weren't for Geno forcing himself off the team.
Schneider was gonna pay big bucks to keep Geno

Geno was always a quarterback that'd falter a bit if he lost his arm strength, but I didn't expect it to happen in a single off-season. This is day-and-night.

That's a shame, man. I've never seen a quarterback hit a wall physically so quickly.

It's crazy NOT to bench GeNO. Pete always preaches "protect the football," yet has a QB who leads the league in picks. It's not going to get better for GeNO. Sure, maybe he can pull off 1 game without a pick (debatable) but it's only a matter of time before they come back in waves. He's shown who he is for a while now.

That was AWFUL. Did you notice him having a tantrum on the sidelines as well?

He is not missed.
THIS. Remember, K9 threw some shade his way a few weeks ago. It was something to the effect of at least we have a quarterback who doesn’t pout and dwell on things on the sidelines

The thing I take issue with is that it's merely an "arm strength" thing. I see QB's all over the league in their mid 30's and beyond who retain their arm strength, or at least make adjustments for a slight decline in it, Stafford, Rodgers, Brady, etc.., hell, even RW can still wing it far downfield.

I've seen a couple of other things from Geno that made me uneasy about hitching our wagon to him before this season. I didn't see him as possessing some of the things I admire as leadership traits in the most important position in major team sports. Just watching him as our QB, he had a certain "self absorption" to him that I didn't see as being connectively inspiring to his fellow teammates, as I do in so many other QB's in the league. This was something that was palpable to me as I watched him.

And has been mentioned several times before, when the field got more compressed approaching the endzone, when windows became tighter and necessitated quicker execution, he wasn't as quick and decisive of a processor as you might like in your QB.

Geno always had pretty strong physical traits as a QB. No denying that. I just found him a bit lacking in the leadership, quick processing, and football IQ department to ever be considered a franchise QB for my team. Just MO.

Agreed. The Raiders have lost 4 in a row, and yesterday's loss was the worst they've suffered since 2021, and the 2nd worst in Pete's entire career, including college. That fan base is thirsting for blood, and Pete's going to have to throw Geno into the volcano or else he might not last the year.

I wouldn't want to throw a rookie quarterback onto the firing line, but with Kenny Pickett, they have a 3-year veteran with starter experience.

Some see it as sad, or a bummer, and that's fine. But Geno is a world class baby and has shown it for a while now. I look forward to him continuing to fail. Every last second of it.

You sure did with Me3, in less time than Geno did.

With Geno, I think it is more mental than physical.

The Pete Jedi zen thing is not working this season.
