I will say this Ozzy, on this whole Geno conundrum. I can only speculate for Keasley45, Maelstrom787, and others who argue Geno's side, but I suspect they probably agree at least in part.Every single time I’ve stated that I’m met with paragraphs from multiple people why that take is crazy.
I don’t take any of this personal. It’s you who gets upset with people who don’t view Geno the way you do. I’ve said multiple times I don’t care where people rank Geno as we’re all entitled to an opinion and it’s fun to agree, disagree whatever as long as it doesn’t bleed into other topics because that’s what happens when people make it personal. Now you’ve said multiple things on other topics I’ve agreed with and hit the like button. One of the guys in this thread puts a laughing emoji on a ton of my posts because I disagreed with him on Geno, another poster lost it too because of the same thing.
So yeah when you say “it’s only the other side” when I’ve seen that that’s not the case i get annoyed.
None of this is personal. I just wish the two sides didn’t take the Geno stuff so seriously. If I have him lower than you it’s perfectly fine. I mean hell I have him multiple spots higher than nfl execs has him in Sandos last poll so it’s not like I’m a hater.
And for the dozen time, I’ve said he may very well be the best option for next year and if he is I’ll be hoping for the best with an improved line and a new OC
For me, this argument isn't about how good or bad Geno is. It's that people who think Geno is bad in this or that area of the game, aren't grasping that all but a small few QBs have the same issues. I think you all way underestimate how often other QBs make mistakes of all varieties. Darnold, Carr, Baker, Dak, etc.... AND Geno are all the same QB essentially. They're all a lateral move at BEST. People complaining about Geno and wanting to replace him with any other reasonably attainable QB are not getting this point. Whether it's simple ignorance to that situation or just intentional spite against Geno, who knows.
That's what I argue against.
Anyone against Geno because he's somehow preventing us from responsibly planning for the future at the position is being willfully ignorant. Having Geno or any other QB in his range and at his price isn't preventing anything. And no, that isn't preventing us from potentially losing 15 games and getting a top 5 draft pick. No GM, coach, or players would ever make the decision to start a QB that would likely lose you double digit games with the roster we currently have. Outside of a bad owner, nobody involved in football at that level is ever gonna lose on purpose when the only prize for doing so, is getting a lottery ticket with 20% chance of hitting.
