We didn't draft him. That's sad, but I'm over it. I still think Eric Fisher was a shitty pick, but that has nothing to do with Geno or Alex.
It's when Geno throws 3 picks in a preseason game and everybody says, "SEE! TERRIBLE QB! AHHHHAHAHAHA" that I raise an objection. Tons of QBs look like dogshit their rookie years. Many of the are 1st rounders, or high-profile guys.
Alex Smith had a 1 TD 11 INT ratio in his rookie year. According to everybody on this forum, he eventually turned out okay. But God, surely his NFL career has been written off after that year, right? Nobody can learn or develop or get better when they're that terrible, can they?
That's what's bullshit about the direction Geno talk has taken. It's entirely the haters who bring up the topic, then claim they're sick to death of talking about Geno on this forum.

I totally agree that people will jump on any negative clipping they find about geno.
Its silly to put too much into anything a rookie qb does in preseason.
This place is sometimes just one big game of GOTCHA.
