    well no, if geno comes out and plays like he has been so far then no matter who is out there the offense will struggle to move the ball consistently.

    we dont really run a full playbook it seems cause he is so terrible at lining up under center

    Eh let's leave Geno in the Geno thread. But if you improve everything, the QB will improve. The decision then becomes if the QB can do this with a slight drop in talent, or they need everything in tip top shape (Alex Smith/Mark Sanchez debate revolved around this)


    The tough part of the franchise QB thing, is getting one and then lining up everything around them so it all comes together at the same

    not for nothing sanchez looked like he was gettig this offense in the preseason

    sure he made a couple mistakes but he was moving the ball and looked confident. plus he has good footwork and can execute the entire playbook

    That should have happened this year but instead we wasted a 2nd round pick on a project QB.

    1. What Jets currently don't have.
    2. Come-from-behind victory #. W/L ratio
    3. I'd say about 18-20.

    But Idzik didn't pick him.

    the broncos are a unique situation. They already had in place a solid defense and several pieces to their offense.....and Tebow.

    No one, not even you, thought Peyton Manning after sitting out year and with major neck/nerve damage would light it up the way he has.

    Using the Broncos as anything remotely 'common place' is not fair.

    Edit: get back to me when they lose that WR that won the playoff game with Tebow and that asshole that sucker sacked Sanchez so they can keep paying Peyton $28M+ a year. Or....imagine the Broncos marching through the playoffs with Peyton Manning on the bench nursing a sore neck.

    There are a few of us out there that believe this as well. However, I would still hedge my bet by bringing in another FA and/or drafting a QB in addition to restructuring Snachez. My solution to our QB problem would be to throw everything at it and see what sticks rather than banking it all on one player.

    I agree that Geno has SO much he needs to work on. It will be interesting to see which of his many deficiencies he improves on next year after having the benefit of a full off-season for the first time. We will get to know a lot about what kind of work ethic then. If I could choose one, I would hope it's his footwork as that would have a positive impact on many of his other issues as well as the playbook.

    Not unlike Sanchez, I don't believe Geno is the kind of QB that is a universal fit for all systems. At least at this stage in his development, I don't think the WCO is a good fit. Not sure what Idzik was thinking there; like after MM? Conversely, I've always believe that the WCO was the offense to get the optimum out of Sanchez, whatever that is.

    That is what puzzled me the most, why draft a QB with god awful footwork and didn't deal with progressions in College when you run a WCO? You can see that Marty really handcuffed the offense and made it pretty much exclusively shotgun to comfort Geno but at what cost, now after 12 weeks our offense is predictable and stale and if I can guess some of the plays were running out of certain formations you can bet those highly paid defensive coordinators can do the same.

    It was all of you who wanted Geno to start this season. Even before Sanchez got hurt.

    While neither QB could perform well with the talent around them this year (much like last year), it was Sanchez who would have given us the better chance to win.

    Team is cursed, so whatever.

    Geno was decent at the start of the season. He's since fallen off the cliff. With Kerley back hopefully he'll end the season on a decent note.

    He should be a little better with Kerley back at least. He needs to work on his accuracy though. Still way too many errant passes...
