Personally, as much as I like Geno as a QB prospect, I don't think he handles pressure very well. He has a bad tendency to throw temper tantrums on the sideline that a lot of people on the board like to dismiss as being "competitive." Perhaps he is just being competitive, I don't know--it just doesn't come off that way to me.

I just don't think it's something that needs to be taken into account and makes a guy a better prospect because of it. Everything else I get.

I think maturity and the ability to handle adveristy will be really important for any QB selected this year. I odn't think any QB will have out of the box success; I think it will take time for this year's QBs to develop. If they have a history of handling adversity and are mature, I think they will develop into elite QBs over time.
