He's on the edge right now. If Geno turns out to be really good then his outright hostility and pessimism towards him before he ever played a down for the Jets becomes the thing we'll all remember him for. It must really suck to be a JetsFan rooting for your own QB to blow chunks because you'll look like a fool if he doesn't and you'll be living with the bad call for oh, say, 12 years while Geno QB's the Jets.
I know a little about that..I wear my badge of honor over there <<<<----------------------------- because on the day he was drafted I said Gholston would go down as the worst draft pick in Jets history and that upset quite a few of the people frequenting the board at that time..a lot of whom are no longer here. The difference between me and JetsFan is that at least there was some basis for what I said, all you had to do was read what other GMs in the league were saying.
If you were right all along (and you were indeed right and then some lol), why do you still have that badge of honor?
agreed. This guy has to become a Bucs fan. He is ruining his image with Jets fans who want to win. The guy has an agenda and he ought to take it elsewhere. He should become a fan of Tampa Bay where his favorite draft pick now plays!
are you a betting man? Put some money where your mouth is! PM me and we will work out the details! Sick of reading your gibberish!
Don, I felt the same about Gholston, or "DeWayne Robertson V2". He was a workout warrior who had a great combine. I hate when teams draft guys like that. The combine should rate a distant second to game film, but sometimes teams cannot help themselves when a player kills it at the combine. I groaned loudly when Gholston was drafted, knowing exactly where that pick was gonna go. In my best Al Bundy voice: "BAWHOOOOSH!", right down the old Ferguson...
Hi Tony, how are you and your back? It has been a long time. I have been slowing down quite a bit and do not spend as much time online. I am thrilled from what I have seen from Geno and the new Jets regime. I think Geno gives us much hope and I dislike people with differing opinions CONSTANTLY denigrating Geno for a personal agenda. They of course have a right to their opinion. I do not mind reading it once or twice but when it starts to become cheap shots for an agenda, then my blood boils. I expect to be posting here a lot more as there are many informed posters here and you are one of them!
Don the difference is that you made your statements based on an awareness of football. The op makes his statements based on an agenda! Only he knows what it is. I have never read him making real football statements about Geno only generalities. I remain that if he hates GENO so much he ought to follow his flame QB to Tampa! He can diss Geno on their fan boards. Again, its NOT a difference of opinion! its an agenda based on ? I was totally opposed to the DWAYNE ROBERTSON choice. I said so a zillion times but I saw Dwayne play many times for UK. I was in charge of a security detail at Wildcat Stadium in Lexington, Ky and saw Dwayne play first hand! I knew what other teammates were saying as well.
amen! I asked him to put his money where his mouth is! Lets see if he contacts me. People like him seldom have the courage of their convictions!
It depends where you draft them. The whole "workout warrior" definition is a little broad for my taste IMO. Gholston, for instance, was absolutely a workout warrior in the sense he had very good combine scores. At the same time, Gholston was also super-productive at Ohio State. However, it was obvious he was raw. Then you have guys like Ziggy Ansah this year, who was absolutely a workout warrior at the combine, but he also showed flashes of using that ability last year against BYU. To me, DeWayne Robertson fits in this category. He wasn't super-productive, but his combine was awesome, and he did show some flashes of that ability in college (less than Ansah IMO). Stephen Hill is a guy that fits more in the 2nd category, but showed even fewer flashes than those guys. But that's why we were able to get him at a discount. I don't have an issue drafting guys who are freak athletes. You can't teach physical talent. At the same time, you need to make sure they are committed to improving their game to reach their full potential. That was part of Gholston's issue: he was super raw and didn't seem to have the desire to improve. Back to the issue at hand. I'm certainly not SOLD on Geno Smith as our quarterback of the future. If this season fell apart to 5-11 and Geno fell on his face, I wouldn't be shocked. But I've also seen more flashes of Geno becoming a great QB than I ever did from Sanchez during their first regular seasons.
He has the arm to make all the throws and that can't be coached, the rest can and he seems smart enough to pick it up over time.
This thread is stupid. The only place these guys are "linked" is in the OP's head...... along with his weird "female" animal photos and adolescent girls...... of course he'll probably show up to say hi, since Geno played as shitty as you'd expect a 2nd rd rookie facing a Dick LeBeau's defense would.
