2) Again, there is ample footage of him working progressions. I think sometimes he depends too much on his pre-snap reads and sits on a receiver he knows will come open eventually sometimes. But that is NORMAL for a QB transitioning from college to the NFL. Hell, RGIII had some questions about his ability to work progressions. It is coachable, as is Geno. He improved each year under Dana Holgorson ffs. I also wonder how much this has to do with the system.
3) Geno Smith has faced as much pressure this year as Tyler Wilson. The difference is he has demonstrated an ability to evade pass rushers AND KEEP HIS EYES DOWNFIELD which is actually a trait I value tremendously. He feels the rush as well as anyone else who has come out for the draft in recent memory. And again, it's totally coachable.
4) Heaven forbid we draft a competitor. This "thug" mentality is nothing but racist bullshit. Hey at least he's not vandalizing cars or getting evicted. Oh wait, Bray can't have a thug attitude, he's white.
I even put in my post that alot could be fixed in his fundamentals, it was his mentality that i wasn't sure about. I know exactly what the blood sign means i grew up around it.

The "thug" mentality is exactly what it is. Standing up flipping off fans, talking shit to them, throwing gang signs.. I grew up around all of it and know it when i see it. Sorry if you can't see it or don't understand it but i do. Players throw up signs all the time but blood is a pretty significant sign to throw up and what it means is very clear
