Patriot Killa Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 He has looked sharp. He has rolled out well. Threaded the needle when he had to and has been consistent with the quick release. I think we might be in for a hell of a season if Geno finally gets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetFanatic Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 From what I've been reading and have seen, Geno looks much improved. He takes a lot of heat, but the kid is only 24 years old and he's getting better. I read somewhere that as opposed to times last year in practice where he would run backwards sometimes up to 10 years against a rush up the middle he now uses his legs consistently to roll out left or right while still making solid throws down the field. Imagine it clicks this season for him. Scary stuff when Marshall, Decker, Kerley, Smith (when he's healthy), and Amaro (upon reaching full potential). Color me excited.

Jetlife33 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 It looks like Geno and Marshall are on the same page from what I saw. Also looks like Geno not afraid to tuck it and run when nothing's open. Then again, no ones allowed to hit him, so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I think more reps help this young man. He is finally being coached up More reps help most, if not all, players. I think the most important thing for this kid is Chan Gailey's coaching, Bowles demeanor, and not having a bunch of future Waffle House employees controlling his fate. Also, I hope he grew a set of balls, comes out this year and shines, it'll be like he's hate-******* the fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 There's absolutely nothing that would make me happier than for Geno to grab the job by the shorthairs and be our QB for a decade. I've just been beaten by that stick too many times that I think I'm done with carrots. Here's hopin though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Fitzpatrick is so much better.......... - Fitzpatrick was better than yesterday (that's not saying much) as he cleaned up his multiple ball handling mistakes.

Gas2No99 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 A practical approach is to be encouraged yet cautious of not getting overtly excited about his progress THUS FAR. Sounds like Chan Chan is performing what we hoped & why he was brought in here to do: DEVELOP QBs (Geno & Petty) and run a simpler effective offense maximizing on the talent currently on the roster. Everything sounds very encouraging thus far, but until the live bullets fly in Game 1 vs. Cleveland, it's all speculation and hopeful thinking. I'm rooting for him, but being a seasoned Jets fan, disappointment won't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, Geno playing well for one game against the Browns won't be enough to convince me (as much as I would want it to). Remember when he looked improved vs the Raiders game 1 last season? He even looked like the real deal through almost two quarters against the Packers. Week 2 in Indy will be a good test for him. Then I'll start to feel that it's safe to believe. And oh, do I want to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we might be in for a hell of a season if Geno finally gets it. Talk to me when the blitz is coming, he doesn't change protection because he doesn't see it presnap, and then he throws one up off his back foot for 6...... Unfortunately the pick 6 variety.

jetscrazey Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The bottom line is Geno looked pretty impressive in August last year also. We all know how that turned out. I can't get excited about this season until I see it in September and Beyond. The optimism in the preseason for the offense was definitely higher last year, with everyone expecting a huge improvement for Geno heading into year 2. It didn't really pan out that way, he still looked like a rookie in many aspects. This year it's more of a "wait and see" mentality with Geno. He's already fooled us once with looking good in the preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 You have to be hopeful he can turn it around and grasp the mental part of the game- but until he can show that in real games you have to be skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The kid has what it takes physically, which is why he probably looks good in practice. No pressure just slinging the rock to a predetermined guy or making simple reads. He's shown how could he can look when he's putting it all together but the real question does he have the mental capacity to play consistent and continue to improve as he did over the last games of 2014. The interesting part of this competition will be when Fitzy is fully healed assuming he has better grasp of the playbook. Geno is going to have to keep improving to hold off the conquering hero.
