I love you guys but I'll never understand the hatred that has lasted for years for a dude that was near league best for a decade and was what Lynch called one of the greatest teammates he ever had because the guy went to battle on the field, played hurt and never quit. How he left was cornballish on his part and I totally get rooting against him, not liking him becaue of it or whatever but you guys seem to truly HATE him on a personal level and act like he was trash the whole time he was here.....that I don't get.
I get not liking players. I never liked Geno at the guy drove me nuts. But I will also respect him for that initial stretch of very good football. One of my least favorite players ever but he was also damn good for a stretch.
Just click on link below when I posted in 2016, before his first big payday, I think I've
pretty much been proven right.
He always was late getting the play and ball off, taking way too many sacks but yet
he insinuated that he needed OL and more playmakers, this coming from a QB that
would just pull the ball and do wild scramble drills to make plays instead of running
the play as drawn.
There is no OL that can block properly when the QB is just all over the place, I give
him credit for being able to do it as long as he did because he had toughness, a strong
arm and good agility with speed.
There hasn't been a QB that could do that scramble drill like him in his prime, Lamar
was the closest but not quite as good.
However, as I said in that link,
"When the legs are gone, he's done".
He was never going to be this smart QB who could read multiple defenses or play
with precise timing from the pocket, he needed shotgun just to see and try to buy
time, I've said this all before and others as well.
I don't hate him, but I do despise his fakeness and how he made mockery out of how
I envision the QB position.
He's why Kyler, Tua, Trey lance, Justin and AR among others are even in the NFL but he
Obviously did it better than them.
