Geno Smith resurrected

[atlantacowboy]

Great story so far. In his 8th year, he's making his first opening day start and has completed 17 out of 18 passes with 2 TDs in the first half, and outplaying Russel Wilson.

I dont think he will hold up for the season, but nice to see he is having a good game.

It’s a one game resurrection . It’s a similar blueprint the Pokes can follow with Rush . Drive the bus don’t get strip sacked don’t throw the costly interception see if your offense can manage oh 23 points and the defense should hold up and help out.

Reminds me of Dak's rookie year when he was actually not bad. Rush has a noodle for arm. I just hope he survives this OL.

Geno is no great QB. But he's a way better QB than he was in his early years. You could count on him to throw a pick or two every 5 minutes. But over the last two years he's not been reckless. He's actually playing pretty good.

Some QBs actually learn....

Except he's still struggling to know when to step up in the pocket and making his tackles look even worse than they already are. Dak at least knows this (Though he's terrible at sensing pressure)

There have been some late bloomer QBs but VERY few. There was that old guy in Oakland in the early 2000's that had a great year or two after like 15 years of blah but that is very rare.

Yeah, Gannon. He credits McCarthy as the guy who brought him to the next level actually.

"“My game really took off under Mike,” Gannon said during an interview at the Super Bowl Media Center. “He really worked on me in terms of footwork, the decision-making, the timing and rhythm of the passing game, understanding the protections. I think that is where Aaron (Rodgers) has really separated himself from a lot of other quarterbacks. That’s why he is becoming one of those upper echelon players."

Yeah Rich Gannon. You look at his career and you understand how things are incredibly inflated now. He won the 2002 NFL MVP and his stats would not even get him mentioned for the Pro Bowl now.

Good thing I didn't refer to him as a "great Qb". But, he a great example of how servicable QBs can be found cheaply in the off season. He's costing them 3.5M this year.

The NFL is reknown for rushing development of Qbs and kicking them to curb about as fast if they don't do well quickly. Some guys have the talent and just need some maturity. Then there are guys like Cooper rush who have the maturity and not the talent. Give me the guy with talent who just needs a change of scenery and an opportunity,

NFL dumps qbs too fast for me. They completely disregard on how long it can take guys to develop. Especially to those teams that fail to properly put a good team around a guy.

They also play them too quickly. And pay them too quickly. Both are products of free agency and the the fact that a team only has a player for the first 4 or 5 years. They can’t have them sit and learn the first couple of years because it limits the time the player is potentially productive.
