Geno Smith Thread

Yea and? You aint gonna a catch me defending him but its undeniable that the two situations were completely different. AO12 was a rookie, not a 12 year vet. Oh, and AO12 didn't cost us nearly as much as this clown, in any way shape or form.

AOC drafted by McD cant run but throws a decent ball. Reminded me of a Brady *type for the offense he was running.

We failed to DEVELOP him.

3 HCs and 3 OCs in his first 3 years.

Another Davis FAIL

But would the Jets be willing to give up a half eaten box of Twinkies?

It's the Jets. They'd give us a full box.

Geno had two good seasons and one mediocre season. He wasn't bad his entire career. I blame Kelly and this organization more than I blame Geno.

This is his 10th season and you want to hang your hat on one good season. The other season you call good finished with 20TD and 9INT(below most of Derek Carr's seasons honestly), that is pretty mid to me, and last season he led the league in INT (21TD to 15INT). He's also now 35 years old, an age most QB's are retired. Paying him what we did was absurd.

I think we can all agree that no matter how we felt at his trade, its time to abandon ship. Smith blows (I had NO idea he was this bad). We all think we can get that QB who brings it with a change of scenery. I will not Monday morning QB this (we all bat 100%). We may have the 2 worse QB's in the league (to got with the worse OC and OL coach). Couple that with a bad coach and a questionable GM (I am being kind), and you reap what you sow.

Geno in a return to the Jets for a 6th round pick. Who says no?

The Jets.

Because his contract is prohibitive.

We would have send a pick with him.

I would rather have Ray Charles play QB than dude. How the f[raiders_icon]ck can a 12 year vet throw so many balls into double and triple coverage. Sure our OL blows. Sure our OC blows. However, it is inexcusable to make those throws. I will not even get into the throws he did not make when guys were WIDE open. He is playing scared know. He looks like Garopablow with his nickel and dime shit (difference is that Jimmy would occasionally hit on those throws.

It's inexcusable to have an OC who can't scheme against this.

It's hard to fathom anyone would take up for Geno at this point & time...even his most hardcore supporters from off season have jumped ship lol

I didn't realize he had hardcore supporters. From everything I read on here everyone was meh at best about the move. Most everyone knew it was a stop gap too

You must of not been paying attention & he doesn't even qualify as a stop gap lol

Yea he's just a stop....no gap lol. Or I guess I should say he's a gap, no stop. Lol

I know...let's be real the Raiders have been in stop-gap mode for 20++ years lol

Having watched him play in Seattle at first blush I wasn't thrilled about the signing. That being said the Raiders have had some success with veteran QB reclamation projects that haven't played that great elsewhere but have had stretches where they were pretty solid.

They have also had their share of duds.

While I wasn't expecting Rich Gannon I felt something along the lines of a Jeff Hostetler was reasonable. Instead we got Matt Flynn or Aaron Brooks, take your pick. There were not many options.

The Kool Aid soured rather quickly.

Willmark keeps saying this and I am inclined to agree that until this team makes a concerted effort to draft a QB it will be a perpetual "Meet the new Boss, Same as the old Boss" loop.

Let's not get fooled again.

Now that Russell Wilson and Justin Fields have been benched, Geno is now the worst veteran starter remaining from week 1 qbs.

Top is Russ, middle is Fields, bottom is our boy.

Could make the case that he was already the worst, just depends what you prioritize from your QB, but if he's better, it's definitely not by much.

Here's Sam Darnolds stats btw:

He's the guy I wanted us to sign
