Geno

[toffee]

I am more interested in if the playbook can be executed. The QBs we have now might not be the answer or the proper people to properly run it, but I am hopeful I see something a little different in more use of the middle, creative disguising of plays, and I am definitely one who loves the run game.

Just like the 2012/2013 Hawk roster made taller, bigger, but maybe somewhat slower CBs the gold standard for awhile which was so different than where the NFL was headed (i.e. smaller faster CBs), I hope for the impossible....something against the common grain of thinking in "modern" football....which is a successful offense doesn't have to rely on one player, the QB. Can a run focused game manager QB actually work at the professional level? Something I think this season will better answer for me at least.

JimmyG, at best pedestrian, led his team to Superbowl.

Pete said Lock is still behind Geno?

 

[beaumaris]

Geno balled his nutts off last year when you consider the situation he was thrown into. Feels good to have a quarterback that can throw dimes over the middle and back shoulder to DK

Nonsense, he is utter crap,never a NFL QB.

 

[toffee]

Nonsense, he is utter crap,never a NFL QB.

Multiple teams have been paying Geno Smith to play QB in the league for 10 years, with that Geno IS a NFL QB.

What may be open to debate would be how good a NFL QB is Geno? Not very good apparently, but he is good enough to get millions from all those team.

Nonsense, he is utter crap,never a NFL QB.

Sorry you feel that way about Geno, he speaks highly of you....

 

[beaumaris]

Sorry you feel that way about Geno, he speaks highly of you....

And so he should.

Wtf? Geno has and always has had a very nice arm

 

[Scout]

Geno is fine and I look forward to seeing the entire offensive playbook opening up whether it is Geno or Lock.

 

[beaumaris]

Wtf? Geno has and always has had a very nice arm

I have lovely arms too.

 

[Chukarhawk]

Wtf? Geno has and always has had a very nice arm

he's not a starting QB. He's a lower tier backup like bottom 1/3rd. those guys don't even win 50% of their games. neither will Geno. He never has.

 

[jlwaters1]

I don't have to clarify anything. In 4 games he posted a 103.5 passer rating and a completion percentage of 68.4. Watch out for Geno is all I'm saying he might light it up this year

uh he averaged a meager 175 yards a game and was sacked 13 times in those games. He literally fumbled the ball away against the Steelers (or was it the Saints). He's not a player that shows the ability to win consistently.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Someone on here said he balled out. Wow.

 

[Own The West]

FWIW in the OTA open to the press, our top two QBs had the following lines in 7 on 7.

CMP/ATT TD/INT
Smith 10/14 0/0
Lock 12/16 5/1

Certainly appears Lock is the more aggressive of the two. If he keeps his TD:INT ratio up, I imagine he'll win the job.

I often wonder how big is the gap between Geno/Lock and JimmyG? Jimmy is good but not great, he is starting on a team that drafted his replacement.

	2021	2020	2019	2018
Jimmy	74.9 NFC champ	67.5 playoff	77.9 superbowl	62.6
Lock	60	63.5	58.1	-
Geno	73.9	62.2	-	-
Goff	60.7	71.4 playoff	72.4	85.5 superbowl
Rodgers	89.6 playoff	94.5 nfc champ	81.4 nfc champ	89

Based solely on PFF, it seems like a GOOD team can win with a QB playing above 70PFF, both Goff and Jimmy did it.

If Geno or Lock could play at PFF's 70+ grades, we just might do OK, which means if Geno could play a whole season at his last season's 73.9?
