"We are the Fury"
I see you're basing a lot off of this Raiders game and I'm sure you're doing the same with those 4 games last ywar where he supposedly improved. You have to base things off of big sample size. Yeah, Geno can have couple games but how long does he play like that until he slips back into his old self again ? That's where consistency comes in. You don't base a quarterback off of his last 4 games and say he's improved that's illogical. You base him off of 16 games.
There's no appropriate sample size for Geno give the circumstances and his age. Since the circumstances have changed, we have to judge Geno in the new weapon-rich environs, similar to Derek Carr and the Raiders. If the Raiders judged Carr after one year with poor weapons, they'd be doing him and themselves disservice. Responsible science demands we test QBs in different environs before we give up on them. Moreover since Geno is so young, his ability level is more variable and so we have to take this into account. Geno was not as accurate or consistent in the Raiders' game last year. He was far less accurate and inconsistently. His ball placement markedly improved this year from last.
And I'm starting figure this out. Geno is still somewhat of an unknown to yall, so Geno fans want to see what he truly is with good weapons or not. Because Geno fans give him that excuse he was hindered by not having quality players. But when does the blame fall on him ?
Fitz has never had a team like this. In his other situations he had to be more than a game manager and it failed. We ask him to play the game smart and it's going good.
You play the best quarterback. You can't just be testing quarterbacks on field, that disrupts offensive flow. And even if Geno is here, we need a quarterback. Hrs not the answer as of right now, but Geno is gone after this year. And sad part is people will keep bringing Geno up.
Geno does share some blame but then he's so young that his problems can potentially be resolved. Fitz is far older and if his problems didn't resolve a few years ago, they likely aren't going to resolve. You don't play the "best" quarterback if that quarterback cannot win anything and does not have the potential to do so. You play QBs who you think might do both.
