Geno: "Nearly Perfect"

[SoulfishHawk]

Geno's pocket awareness has massively improved, imo. It's night and day from a couple years back.

I also think Grubb deserves a ton of credit. A lot of the passing game was an extension of the running game since they couldn't get that going. A lot of high percentage/efficiency throws and then when Geno had to make a big play or escape pressure he did.

I argued Waldron wasn't that bad last year but I might of been wrong, I think Grubb so far is a massive improvement over Waldron and will make life much easier for Geno.

Don't know. How much was improvision on Geno's part and how much was it the system and Grubb adapting?

It doesn't matter, because either way it was Geno cooking, and putting the ball exactly where it needed to be, every time.

Other than the one over the middle that should have been picked (he has getting hit) he was in a flat-out zone.

Does it matter? It still either needs

A: Geno to improvise and pull the win out of the hat
B: Geno to flawlessly execute the system

Either way, that win doesn't happen with a QB who is not playing lights out.

"Yes."

Grubb providing an offensive scheme and playcalling that allowed Geno to improvise within in it. Geno understanding the scheme well enough that he was on the same page with Grubb. One thing I love seeing is Geno on the headset after every drive, working with Grubb to figure out how THEY are going to attack the defense.

Sometimes I think we give all the credit and blame to the player when it's the combination of coach/scheme/player that makes it work. It's a team game and coaches are part of the team.

Geno is playing extremely well so far. I have been somewhat critical of him the last couple seasons, mostly just in regards to some very head-scratching decisions and throws right into defenders. He wasn't terrible, though, and made a lot of great plays and exceptional throws.

This year, though, he's looked better than ever. It's only been two games, but he is seeing the field, managing the pocket well, throwing accurately, sometimes with pressure right in his face. Loving it. In Geno we trust.

I don't want to diminish Grubb, but let's not forget that A) Geno had an amazing 2022 season under Waldron, and B) he played through a pretty severe injury for the bulk of last season. Grubb may be a better coordinator than Waldron, but he also benefits from having an experienced QB. So, please, please, please, don't argue that Geno is a product of Grubb's system—just hold up the white flag and admit you were wrong.

 

[Ozzy]

Either way its a good place to be? A OC who seems able to adapt and call a game in flow, which is where I think Waldron struggled. A veteran QB who seems to be playing better than he did last year and is completely comfortable in the new system which isn't always easy. I'll take it.

We are witnessing truly rare levels of performance at quarterback.

Maybe you should play QB for a game and then we'll know if it was just "system and Grubb adapting" or if Geno deserves any credit.
Get real

I'll suit up and let you know.

Just wish he would act like a Franchise QB, you know do dumb commercials, go see kids at Hospitals, walk on water, bubble water that is. Take the team to Hawaii. All those Franchise things.

Or he may be a under the radar guy that takes the O linemen down to the local brew hub and buys rounds and quietly leaves before anyone notices. Old School Franchise Guy.

He needs to divorce his wife and marry a prostitute.

 

[MORGULON]

It's not a bash on Geno at all. He played lights out. I'm referring to other holes on the team like the Oline, running game, and lapses on defense. It's sad that Geno had to play like Superman to barely eek out the win. That's all.

You're definitely a glass half full guy
