Salas cost him a 2nd TD. Geno did well considering the amount of 3rd and long we put ourseles in. The penalties on the OLine and Decker, specifically by Colon really put Geno in rough spots so I thought Geno managed things well. You don't want to keep putting your QB in such rough spots on a common basis though, not a recipe for success.
I know it was a terrible play the sack he took but what could he do there. .I guess just go down right away but the line needs to take some responsibility as well. .
Lets get the bad out of the way; his situational awareness is non-existent. We won't win against quality teams unless he plays to the situation. Now for the good, very impressed with his command of the offense and his accuracy (hell of a play on that int). He needs to stop taking so many hits, its going to catch up to him sooner then later. IF he can cut down on dumb plays like taking a sack that takes us out of FG range and fumbling at the goal line he may be the qb we have been looking for. I will say I love his talent, shook off some sacks and did some good things on his feet. That extra muscle is certainly paying off already. I am cautiously enthusiastic that he prove all the talking heads wrong this year.
Our QB will make dumb mistakes if we continue to put him in poor spots with self shot penalties. Geno's not good enough to overcome those 3rd and unnecessary long, not many Qbs in the NFL are.
Agreed he looks much better as a passer. He for sure has improved his READ ability and does not focus on one target. That is a HUGEEE improvement from Sanchez. He still has to cut down on the running around the field as a #1 option, it should only be used if he cannot find anyone to throw to "tuck and then run" time The INT was just a good one from Woodson...He was such in command for most of the game.
Where are all the people calling me an idiot for saying Geno already has elite accuracy. 80 percent today and it would have been higher if the O-Line stopped getting penalties and Decker didn't get the PI call. The dude puts the ball where it needs to be nearly every single time. The interception was a great play by a future hall of famer. I can forgive that. The fumble not so much though. Your on the 3 heading into score a TD, hold the football Geno. Overall great game from him.
Let's relax here, he doesn't have elite accuracy because he missed on some wide open throws. Good game by Geno tho
Also agreed...We need to see Geno do well in the % especially in rainy weather and snowy games. He has not been amazing in those moments...
Well he's not going to have 100% accuracy. He missed 2 throws all day today on 29 pass attempts. If he does that every game, that's elite accuracy. Either way it's so fucking refreshing to have a QB that can hit the vast majority of his open receivers instead of the garbage Sanchez put out for years.
The problem with that long sack is that it should have been taken earlier, he let it get WAY out of hand by trying to make something of it. he couldn't throw it away without doing so carelessly or getting an intentional grounding call since he was in the hashes. A mistake, but not the one people are getting mad at him for.
Just because you complete a bunch of passes doesn't make you accurate. Brees has elite accuracy and would have completed the pass to Salas, Salas more than likely with Brees doesn't have to stretch out for that ball and Brees puts it on the dime. Geno is able to make reads and make the right throws, but idk if that means Geno has elite accuracy. Regardless, his decision making and making the right reads is already better than Sanchez IMO.
Very true. Going back to college, he's struggled in those weather elements. Hopefully that improves as well.
pretty much, at least that pick wasn't the worst decision in the world and had to be done with a great defensive play. That sack is something I don't ever want to see again.
I want to see this performance on the road, and consistently, it means nothing to do it against inferior teams, and the raiders are inferior to the jets at this point. The play calling is questionable especially since Geno can only work from the shotgun formation. I did not see him under center much, if the offense wants to be less predictable he has to play from under center a little more. Nice job by Geno today, I don't want to be too critical.
