Thing is to make statements that people like me for example don't want to or are "afraid" to draft a QB in round 1 is stupid. I would have been ecstatic to get 3 or 4 of the guys form the last few drafts. 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. |

But, like djln said in the game thread, if you watched the game and thought he was good, you didn't know what you were watching. |

What is this much? That was a miserable game to QB in and only he second game and it was against the Pats. You act like he is in his 3rd season.

I'd gladly take A. Smith over our last starting 7 QB's.

Some people just don't understand football. They don't understand that of all the situations besides Brandon Weeden he was placed in the most difficult with the least amount to work with. New coaching staff completely, changing defensive schemes, porous oline, weak running backs, two rookie tight ends, and then on top of all that, immediately into the season your new head coach pops cancer leaving your OFFENSIVE coordinator to run the whole team taking away from Lucks development. It AMAZES me how quickly people want to judge these young qbs without factoring in all FACTORS.

I still maintain that Bray doing the same thing, that the talent level and upside between Geno and Bray is close enough that its neither here nor there.

Contrast Smith's play to that of E.J. Manuel and tell me which QB appeared to be ready to lead an NFL team and which isn't ready to lead an NFL team. |

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.

Alex has a good head and is a check down QB. Occasionally he looks great going down field but that is the exception rather than the rule. Alex is a very known commodity. It really comes down to what you wanted when the decision was made. You were going with that or you were rolling the dice with Geno in hopes that as he developed you would have much more upside. Truth is we are not any closer to knowing if that upside exists now as we were back then.

I saw a rookie go into that place and do what should have been enough to win. I saw a kid play very well for 2/3 of the game for a rookie in his second start in one of the toughest places to play in the NFL...the other 1/3, he looked like a rookie that's in over his head.
