Because I disliked every QB in this weak ass draft class doesn't mean I don't want to draft and develop a guy.
The problem with this place is everything is an absolute to most posters. Black and white.Reality is always in between. Little reality here.
Not wanting a Geno or a Sanchez as my QB doesn't mean I don't want a Luck, RGII, Tannehill, Ryan or a myriad of other QB's.
And for the record I don't think the Jets are further ahead than they were pre Sanchez at this point because of WHO they drafted.

I completely agree, and it's mind numbing to read... like I said, people will trip over their children and kick their dog on the way to their computer if they are anti-Geno and he throws one pick or are pro-Geno and he makes one good throw.
As far as people being afraid to draft a QB, it's obviously not everyone, and people will always have differing opinions on different guys in the draft... there's just so much impatience with some people, and like you said, a lot of it is in black and white. I think of a normal meltdown after a loss and cringe at the though of adding a rookie QB into the mix... again, it's not indicative of the fanbase in general (or at least I hope not), but say they had Geno and Alex Smith (or another vet who is good enough to get by but might be a backup on another team) right now and Geno won the job... it would test the patience of this place more than anything else in the past decade, and it's not even close.
