Oh, I don't disagree with you.. nor do I prematurely condemn Geno as a bust.
As O.City stated here recently, this is just some fun backlash coming at those who deserve it and then some. No one really felt Alex should have been 1.1 either... no way did anyone (except idiot coaches in SF) think he should be playing in year 1. Still went 1.1 due to a weak draft, and that's still where some KC fans would take Geno in hindsight to this day.
Bottom line is, people make excuses for QBs they like... and then turn right around and mock others for doing it for other QBs. So deep down, I think they know that often enough.. "excuses" are actually legitimate reasons for QB struggles. In other words, the same people excusing Geno would turn right back around and mock Alex for sucking as a rookie on an even worse team. Go figure.
