True, but they did beat the Saints and Pats as well. The team as a whole far exceeded expectations and Geno was a part of that if people want to admit it or not. He's a rookie with a defensive minded head coach surrounded by one of the worst collection of skill position players in the league. The jury is still out, but he obviously learned to cut down on mistakes probably by learning to read defenses. The game will slow down a bit for him next year and I think he takes another step up. Probably into that 15-20 QB range, but haters gonna hate. The major difference the last quarter was the limiting mistakes and rushing yards. He started to pull it down and go instead of forcing a pass that wasn't there. He wasn't really a running QB in college, but his 4.5 40 shows he could go if he wanted to. I think that's a great extra dimension that he has added to his game. Better to run for 5 or 6 and get down than throw the pick.
