Geno Smith Thread

It’s been 2 games. Fix the line play and see what happens. I’m not condemning anyone on the offense yet except Parham, he’s dog shit.

2 TDs and 4 INTs when it matters.

And the franchise extended him.

Gino was better today but the stats are a little flattering. He's got to get rid of the ball faster at times as he's taking a few unnecessary sacks. Still this offensive line is one of the worst I have ever seen and Tom Brady in his prime would have some difficulty putting the team in position to win especially when the defense and special teams are trying to rival the OL in futility.

The offensive line absolutely sucks but this guy runs into defenders.

[The Real CK]

He has the pocket presence of Helen Keller.

November 5 is the trade deadline. Hope they are making a list and checking it at least twice. Need some new blood on that o-line.

Credit for what? Throwing picks and taking sacks. Jesse is delusional.

Last year with Seattle, Geno took 50 sacks (3rd most in the NFL).

This year:



Now I realize our OL is trash but Geno is not helping matters, he looks awful.

Seattle's situation is different than Raiders. They do not have two and half decades of miserable history. They weren't SB contenders when McDonald took over but they were a winning team. The OL last year was their weakness. PFF ranked Seattle's OL 31st last year, yet they won 10 games despite the 50 sacks. They have a new OL coach this year and made improvements in the OL personnel. Additionally, they are in the second year with their head coach and have continuity in the GM. With a year under their belt, the new regime knew exactly their weaknesses and could draft and acquire FAs accordingly. Raiders were a train wreck last year (and many previous years). PC took over with none of the advantages found in Seattle. It's going to take more than 3 games to mold a winning culture.

Not having a quarterback taking avoidable sacks helps more than anything.

No NFL OL in this modern age of pass rushing emphasis can consistently hold blocks for more than 3-4 seconds.

Seattle isn't run by nostalgic fools. The regime quickly realized what they didn't have in Geno (because they didn't listen to Twitter film idiots or melt over Geno's "they wrote me out quotes") and found a sucker in Pete and us to take him over their hands for a pick. When a team jettisons a quarterback from a ten-win team or a "winner" like Jimmy G; buyer beware.

Maybe Darnold doesn't work out in the long run but he didn't cost Seattle a draft pick and they can escape with little cost from his contract.

Meanwhile, we extended Geno for 66 million guaranteed and no other reason than Prostate Pete, being ancient, wanted a known security blanket.

So what you're saying is that the sucessful franchise (with their shit together) chose to trade Geno Smith and sign Sam Darnold, knowing it would be an upgrade that helped their team?

Unless it's the Chargers playing against our OL.

Geno chose to leave them.
