Honestly, he'd be Brandon Weeden bad. Weeden is just an absolute shit decisionmaker. If there's a bad decision to be made, by God he's going to make it.

There are different forms of bad. Gabberts happy feet, Ponder's shit arm, Sanchez being firmly buried into his own head, Cassel's inability to ever do anything well, ever. Weeden has a ton of tools, he just hasn't seen a bad decision yet that he didn't love.

Geno hasn't really had to make a lot of reads or snap decisions over the last couple of years. Ultimately, it may take him some time to figure out how to do that. I certainly think he will and be a great NFL quarterback.

But if he isn't great, it will be his decisionmaking that is his undoing. It won't be courage or a weak arm or bad mechanics or poor accuracy. He has those things covered. But if he can't transition away from the spread, he may end up the turnover machine that Cleveland has.

That's the only flag for Geno and honestly, it doesn't concern me a bit, in part because of his interviews and in part because of his success under White prior to Holgerson.

Every other 'wart' is just trolls looking to rile everyone up. He has every other thing you could ask for in a QB.

Another quality post that makes me happy to be "on the dark side"!!
