Yeah I think it’s actually the opposite more often than Toffees theory. I think people hate Russ so much they became bigger fans of Geno because he was who came when their hated player left. They want Geno to be elite.I don't believe this is correct. If Wilson has anything to do with this debate at all, it's only because some people were shouting how much better the team was with Geno running the offense. It's as if Geno should never have sat behind Russ. Any sane fan knows Wilson was done at that point as he's proved ever since then, but the act of Geno always being a better option is criminal. It's almost as if some anoited Geno as the greatest QB the franchise ever had because he broke a record or two with an extra game to do so. That is why there is some kickback among some fans. Its unrealistic. It's not about the love for Wilson, it's about the hate.
For half a season he looked like it. For another season he looked good. Last year he was below average. He could easily revert back to when he played at a top 10 level. I just think he’s trending the wrong way and is only getting older so it’s not likely. Toffee thinks this is purely an emotional response. I think objectively it matches what we’ve seen historically across the league. Time will tell.
