Whatever. You don't think that the weather played a part, then I don't know what to tell you.
So, if:
16/24
197 yards
2 TDs
0 Ints
163.1 rating
is shit and his worst game, considering the conditions, what were your expectations? What did Geno have to do to meet your approval?
Because if you would rather not draft Geno with the first pick, and, say, go LT Luke Joeckel, then you are probably looking at a guy like Nassib in the second round.
And I think it's a valid comparison in the exact same game and conditions that you are judging Geno with. Nassib is a high level college QB that has set almost every single Syracuse passing record. He's accurate with a strong arm. Plus he had the support of a much better run game.
I think it's a valid comparison in an effort to see how much the weather conditions actually affected the passing game that day.
But you keep ****ing ranting on about somebody else not being able to see the "big picture." You go you.

I challenge you to find ONE post where i say we shouldn't draft Geno. ONE.
This is the shit im talking about right here. You are so up in arms and defensive over your boy, that you are making shit up and not seeing the big picture.
Im not debating with anyone on whether we should take Geno #1 Overall. I have NEVER, EVER objected taking him #1, and have certainly, NEVER, EVER suggested we take anything other than a QB 1st overall. To suggest otherwise is plain reeruned. The problem here is that if you dare question the mesiah's performance, you instantly get lumped into the group of ****tards who would rather sign Alex Smith.
I'm debating the stupid ****s that wanna say he had a good game.
You keep posting his numbers over and over again as if they give some validity to your claim, when anyone who watched the game knows otherwise.
Yes, his completion % was high. "Yeah but", he was throwing short passes the entire game, and the majority of his yardage came from YAC.
He didn't adjust well to the pressure. If he did, WV wouldn't have been 0-10 on 3rd down conversions. Syracuse brought pressure all game long. Geno was never able to make them pay for it.
"yeah but, it was the defenses fault too"
People seem to forget that it was a 12-7 game at halftime and the defense had held well AND forced turnovers. In situations like that, you expect your #1 overall to capitalize on that, not give the ball right back and completely swing the Momentum the other way.
Listen, I believe in Geno Smith. I believe he has all of the physical tools to be a great QB in the NFL.
But on Saturday, a day in which he set out to silence his critics and put some distance between he and the rest of the QB class, he fell flat on his face. He knows it too. Hence his emotional outbursts during the game. Even the talking heads mentioned it regarding the conversations they had with Geno.
