31 scores to 15 picks says otherwise, a Harvard education says otherwise. Remember, I'm not saying he's great, no one is, but he's way above what Geno had shown to this point
Well, let's keep this in perspective. The conversation started with whether Marshall/Decker could stay in the top 12 discussion with Geno. Just becuase I think Geno is a big enough step down from Fitz that him being QB would, without a doubt, keep both of them out of that discussion, doesn't mean I also think he's bad enough that they'll suddenly turn into waiver fodder. Like I said earlier, they'd just take one step down, Marshall would go from borderline elite, to a standard, typical guy that might be a WR1, like about a dozen other guys "might be", Decker would go from a strong WR2-borderline WR1, to a typical WR2, maybe slip enough to be a WR3, depending on how locked into Marshall, Geno would become.
Ok, well in comparison to Geno, he's good. But in the big picture, its like saying Moe is a good decision maker, while Larry and Curly are bad decision makers
Or he is a Jamarcus Russell
I would even go so far as to predict that IF the Jets go into the season with Geno, Petty and Hackenberg, they'll be realistically out of it by midseason, and likely see what they've got with Petty and/or Hackenberg the rest of the way, so even IF Geno is the starter, I don't think it really matters much, as I doubt he'd finish more than 8-9 games before they benched him, maybe not for an improvement, but for roster evaluating of the other options for future. Which then REALLY throws Marshall and Deckers' values into the twilight zone.
I'm in agreement. Your post lays out exactly how I see this playing out if Geno starts.
If he's that bad, which he is, passing more will just lead to more bad results. Simply passing more often when your competing barely 50% isn't going to magically create decent numbers based on volume. More passes means even more incompletions, which leads to more 3 and outs, passing more means more INT's, which obviously leads to not having the ball, which, in a catch 22, leads to less passing attempts overall.
Having not seem either of the other two in an actual NFL game, I have no preconceived notions about either of them. I know both had the look of being career journeymen/back up types coming out of college, but, either or both could surprise. The one thing I have seen enough to feel relatively safe in saying, is that Geno is not a starting caliber NFL QB, and I have doubts as to whether I'd want him as the backup.
Its not hatred for Geno, its simply calling it as it is. .he sucks. I've got no personal stake in the Jets QB situation whatsoever, unless it's Fitz..cuz if it ain't Fitz, I'll most likely allow the Jets position players to be someone else's headaches. Not becuase I think Geno is so damned bad that their guaranteed to be bad, but becuase the uncertainty surrounding Geno, his backups, the teams commitment to him, to the other QB's, and which ones will be around for the future. .leads to me not know where the eff to slot them, so I'd rather stay away.
