FWIW:
You say this bullshit about Geno, but Macdonald (you know, the actual head coach of the Seahawks) says “I’ll tell you this: I mean, this guy is probably the toughest player I’ve ever been around,” Macdonald said of Smith.
Yeah he really threw a fit over that ankle tickle, and I couldn’t figure out how that hit injured him, maybe he jammed his knee when he jumped? I don’t know if elite is an appropriate description of him. You can’t only be an elite in specific scenarios under perfect conditions. He cannot control his emotions and melts down in the worst times. I feel like he has more physical talent than Russ but under pressure Russ would step up and geno just stands there. Sometimes I feel like Geno won’t move in the pocket because he doesn’t think he should have to….
Of course he says that… in public…
Geno doesn’t move. He doesn’t read what’s coming. He just stands there and waits. All great QBs know when to move. Even Peyton manning would move. Matthew stafford moves all over. Geno just stands there like he is entitled to his space….
It’s not BS man Geno slammed his helmet down in frustration over not getting a flag. He was immediately looking to blame someone else. Geno is not tuff. You don’t think coaches say to the public anything to shield their guys….. ok….
Fortunately I don't think Mike will let that fly going forward. The days of neglecting the trenches should be over
Things happen, please allow me to share the history of one HOF QB, Steve Young. Steve was very mobile, but he had the luxury of playing behind an OL with multiple all-pros ( Harris Barton, Jesse Sapolu, Steve Wallace) coached by a legendary OL coach Bobb McKittrick. Until those linemen aged and Steve was under constant pressure.
Man I can’t agree more. I watched the replay of the injury over and over, geno was yelling for a flag before he even reached for his leg. I am convinced he was so mad at getting hit in a way he thought wasn’t fair that he injured his brain. They said he was trying to come back…. Ok slamming his helmet, stomping around, Pointing fingers, just like the giants game. He is a spoiled child. Remember Pete on the sidelines grabbing him and zen master calming him down… Geno is not a leader I don’t care about his arm or accuracy in ideal situations. When he thinks something wasn’t fair he is out of the game mentally.
You could see Steve young get worse, like hasselbeck, geno has not gotten worse, he’s actually seemed to get better, until it really matters then he goes back to who he really is. We are not who we really are when it’s easy, we are who we are when it’s hard
After playing behind a historically bad OL for a few seasons, one should not be surprised that Geno is damaged to some extent.
I don’t think it’s new damage though, it’s who he is. His poor decision making only occurs when the moment is big. He does fine in empty yardage situations
Hard to move around when the pocket is literally crumbling around you. The same was said about RW, he seems to be doing just fine now. Sorry not buying it, any QB would be a sitting duck behind this OLine.
Nope. Geno has no intention of moving around. He is fully aware of what his o-line is and still thinks he can stand there like it’s 1984. He needs to be moving immediately. If the play is not designed for an immediate pass he should be ready to move. He doesn’t even try to move unless it’s forward through a parted red sea
Goes back to who he is? You mean the guy leading the league in 4th quarter comebacks over the last 3 years? How quickly folks forget what this man has done the last 3 years. We'd be a 3 win team without him this season.
