The two are actually very comparable, with Geno having a slightly better first year with us. Not to mention doing all that behind a historically bad offensive line. As far as his leadership skills or lack there of, not one player, or coach has ever came out and said he lacked those skills, quite to the contrary actually. The red zone stuff I will agree with you on, that was head scratching....

I love Darnold as our new QB, but to sit here and imply Geno was a bad QB, and a locker room cancer while he was here is straight garbage. Why folks around here love trashing that guy is beyond me.

Sam first year stats
4084 passing yards - 5th
25 td's - 9th
14 ints - 34th
56.0- QBR - 19th
99.1 - passer rating
68.3% - completion

Geno first year stats
4,282 passing yards
30 tds
11 ints
62.8 QBR
69.2% completion
100.8 passer rating

Geno first year with raiders
4320 passing yards
21 tds
50.4 QBR
70.4% completion
15 ints
93.2 passer rating
Ask Raiders fans if he’s a good/bad QB

We're talking seahawks, try focusing on that and get back to me.

What about Darnold as a jet, or a panther. I can cherry pick too. 🌽 E
Sam’s history prior to the Seahawks is irrelevant

Genos history after the Seahawks is completely relevant

In the context of your statement “Geno a bad QB is straight garbage”

Not only will many here argue otherwise, I suspect a good portion of the Raider fans will too.

Hell, Russ was amazing for a few years, look at him now (the last few)
How many these days would consider Russ straight garbage.

The conversation was pertaining to his and Darnolds time in Seattle. What part of that are you having trouble grasping?

I took your post at face value.

If you want to claim “that’s not what I meant”, that’s fair please clarify what you actually meant.
I meant what I wrote. You want to read more into it than there is, dont know what to tell ya.

Well then.

My responses stand.

If you want to claim Geno wasn’t bad, and didn’t cause locker room issues go ahead.

You’re entitled to your opinion.

Not a claim, stats dont lie .

Dude was top 5 in the league in several passing categories and lead the league in some others yet he sucked. Right? Right. All the while doing this behind a turnstile OLine.

So by your logic Darnold is a bad QB as well, seeing how his first year numbers here are worse than Genos. That what you're saying?

Dude stop while youre behind. 🤦

And please provide proof of one issue he caused in the locker room, anything. Just one. We'll wait.

Geno was not bad, he just had bad support, DK showing his ass regularly, O line that was a sieve, inconsistent play calling and then his pouty temper tantrums. He had moments but whole team was an inconsistent mess and the defense was not where it is today, they were also a work in progress. This is typical under a regime transition, it was better for us and Geno to leave.

There’s more to the story than numbers and statistics.
It’s the intangibles that matter here.

Until some of his teammates come out and speak about it, as have the teammates of Russ, we won’t have “proof”.

We have seen how this current team supports and fights for one another with our own eyes, we’ve heard it with our own ears.
Sure it’s possible that a couple of bad seasons could change things, but until that happens…

Bottom line for me is, Results and the eye test is what matters. The chemistry we are witnessing alone speaks volumes.

You are correct “stats don’t lie” but don’t be foolish, we ALL know that stats don’t tell the entire story.

So in other words these are your opinions. Got it. All good. 👍

Sure

My options on the results we saw with Geno
vs
The results we are seeing with Sam.

If you’re willing to ignore what you see with your own eyes, by all means stick with your statistics.

Like I said earlier, statistics (hard facts) don’t tell the entire story, And that can’t be reasonably argued.

And I’ll double down, go ask the Raider Nation what they think.

So you dont have any proof he was a locker room distraction, yet you're gonna go ahead and make sh*t up to trash the mans reputation because you dont like the guy? That's weak bro....

And on top of that you're going to completely ignore the fact Darnold has a significantly better team and coaching staff around him than Geno ever had had . I suppose that has nothing to do with the contrast in results right between the two Right? Right. 👌 What else you got? 🤦

Those are part of the “intangibles” I’ve mentioned.

I’m not ignoring anything.

My only dispute here is that you claimed “straight garbage” to Geno is a bad QB.

He is not good, in spite of putting up some respectable statistics.
Not good= Bad

Some of the other things that don’t show up on the stat sheet …..

Champion him all you want. You’re entitled

I don't care what the stats and league rankings say, I think he's bad, so therefore he's bad. And here's some photos of angry Raiders fans to prove it... that's your entire argument dude and its sad as hell.

Ever stop to think he was flipping off fans because fans like you are constantly trashing him when the only thing he ever did wrong here was throw some redzone picks? Lol. I'd flip their ignorant asses off too.

Well he was pouty at times so obviously he was a locker room cancer as well..
I mean, seriously?

I get it, you dont like the dude. We all get it. He's gone now, he wont hurt you anymore.

Anyhoo, i'm done with this discussion. Rage on bruh. And Go Hawks.

I don’t dislike him.
In fact I supported him until I couldn’t as a Seahawk fan. I stopped being able because of the results I was seeing.
He’s not a good QB and results prove it, in spite of his stat sheet.

Again my only dispute is, the claim he’s bad “is straight garbage”
