I'm not one to get bent out of shape by those who cite the Pinstripe Bowl.
I recognize that it was not a good game by his standards, and were that the only game I saw, I might have the same opinion as those people.
However, I do believe the guys that are the most critical are using that as a measuring stick, because that is the only game they watched.
Those of us that have watched multiple games see all the tools he brings to the table, and also see that with good coaching, the mechanical issue that affected his performance can be corrected, and weather conditions will not have nearly the effect on his game that it had in that Bowl game.
We also recognize that even the strongest arms, like Cutler's, Stafford's and Rodgers are still affected by weather.
And the one other thing that we recognize is that even the best QBs struggle against defenses that can provide cnsistent pressure, and Geno has faced consistent pressure in every game because his O-Line is one of the worst in college football.
The combination of weather and pressure, and the lack of a running game to alleviate some of that pressure, all played a part in that game.
