Instead, they had a RB throw in to the end zone.
Part of me feels like this is a “protect the team moment”. Pete has no problem falling on the sword to keep the pressure of his players.Carroll said in his press conference that they have not been allowing Geno to sling it downfield. Maybe they should let Geno sling it before we start declaring that he is incapable of it. He throws the route that are called. Perhaps we should talk about leaving training wheels on the offense when the QB has been in the system for over a year. That is a failure of both head coach and offensive coordinator.
I still enjoy watch that Jon Ryan TD pass! Sometimes is works, sometimes you throw the damn remote control.Instead, they had a RB throw in to the end zone.
100% this!!Carroll said in his press conference that they have not been allowing Geno to sling it downfield. Maybe they should let Geno sling it before we start declaring that he is incapable of it.

It doesn't hurt anyone's feelings. Everyone knows how you feel - you've said it. A lot.By all means, keep playing a career average at best QB who hasn't lead his team to a single point in 6 quarters.
Sorry if that hurts some people's feelings, but Geno is what he is, and he has not proven he can lead a team when it counts. And, the DEFENSE won that Bronco's game.

Pete Carroll -> "We Need to Take Care of The Ball".The HC can't have a preseason competition, (which was conclusively won), to decide on a starter and then bench the starter after 1 loss. It's a double-quick way to lose credibility.
I'm good with Geno playing the year. At least we know what to expect, a high draft pick.
I don't think it would be all that different with Lock. Except initially he would be worse because he has a learning curve but there is enough evidence that his ceiling probably isn't much higher than Geno. Might be more turnovers, so I guess that at least could be exciting.
Point is, Geno CAN "sling it" just as well as "The Kid"...Being careless & throwing PANIC balls is exciting?? who'd a thunk it.Averaging 1 TD a game is a guaranteed L. Geno is incapable of pushing the ball downfield. Run Lock, he at least has a chance of winning games and give the kid some reps. Geno will never be anything more than he is now. He will never magically become a starter in this league. 3 and outs are effectivley the same as turnovers as far as getting reps. This offense with Geno at the helm is DOA and 100% ineffective. Let the kid sling it and let the chips fall where they may. Its far better than watching Geno march out there and throw checkdowns all day.
