It reminds me of being a car salesman, someone buys a used car and often comes back the very next day complaining about a ding or scratch they hadn't noticed before buying it, sometimes the dealership will attempt to fix it, sometimes not.
When they don't, you have to go out and say "ok, tell me if i'm lying... you said you loved the seats, agreed that it has great acceleration and handling, you said it had plenty of room for the kids unlike your trade in, you raved about the heated seats and backup camera... now honestly, if you love all of those things, are you really going to let that little scratch on the trunklid ruin your enjoyment of the rest of this vehicle?"
They almost always agree that it wont.
If people want to weep and gnash their teeth over geno, that's on them, but i don't see why it has to ruin everything else about the team for them.

I think I've said 1000 times that I've accepted the Alex Smith trade. I did long ago in March when it happened. But I still believed Geno would have made a fantastic protege to keep around while Alex Smith plays for a few years.
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.
