It's just grasping at anything you can to knock on Geno. Cleveland didn't win. The team didn't execute well until the final drive, which Geno did remarkably well on. Instead of folks celebrating that, I get to read garbage about a pick 6 that never happened instead of what actually did happen. It's ridiculous.
Shouldn't we care that our QB is the 2nd most pressured in the league with mostly a 4 man rush? Please tell me, which active QB would perform well in that circumstance?
And if you look at QB play across the league it's not a pretty picture. Obviously we can't drop other QBs into the exact situation Geno is in, but it's reasonable to assume their play wouldn't be much better. A few of the top shelf elite QBs would find a way, but at the median I highly doubt you'd see much of a difference.
It's not an all or nothing proposition. I'm not saying Geno is without fault. He doesn't even say that. Any player would want to eliminate turnovers. Harping on the guy over a turnover that never happened is silly though. That was my point.
Dropped picks happen all the time.
No, it's reasonable to look at plays that actually happened. Living in a fantasy world where a pick 6 occurred and taking that fantasy back into the real world and knocking a guy over it, is not reasonable.
Yeah, Geno's been luckier than a 3-peckered Billy goat in a herd of sheep in that regard. I can't remember a quarterback getting away with more bad throws than I've seen Geno get away with these past 1.5 seasons.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious. I watch a lot of football, probably too much, and it's pretty noticeable both the amount of missed picks he's had, and the ease by which many could have been nabbed. Two more yesterday.
Brock Purdy is right up there with Geno. He just hasn't played as many games.
Carroll said in his press conference that JSN stopped his route leading to the almost pick six. Anyone blaming Geno for it is not living in reality.
Indeed. Many on this board seem to forget there are 10 other players on offense. Gino has definitely made some bad plays this year, but guess what, so has every other QB.
They also seem to forget there's an offensive coordinator calling very very questionable plays given what's unfolding on the field. There were opportunities to punish Baltimore for their aggressive play and Seattle never did anything. Waldron was just dialing up slow developing plays over and over. Playing right into Baltimore's game plan.
I have been baffled by the number of times its been 3rd and 3 or 4, and all the receivers are running 8 or more yards downfield before their break...... Seems reasonable to have at least ONE short route. I can't remember the last time I saw the running back staying in to block, then release for a wheel route, or a tight end blocking, then release to the short middle.
Yeah that's also been really frustrating. Seattle will also be running the ball very effectively and for seemingly no reason at all they completely stop running the ball. Why wouldn't you keep doing something your opponent is having a hard time countering?
I like your points but this is all I needed. Fully supported. NOTHING will change until these do... I don't see the mystery.
Outside of these points, Geno is NOT a top 5 QB though.
