Quote:It's very arguable... Geno had much bigger performances, especially in the first half of his last season.  Teddy was more steady a performer, but never had any HUGE days like Geno did.  I'm certainly no Geno fan, but I suppose some folks memories suffer from bias for the most recent and forget the headlines he was making.  Geno was much more risk/reward, where Ted has been pretty consistent.  There probably isn't as much difference between the two overall than some may want to believe.

 

As, it's been stated before, some don't think any of these QBs have first round grades and aren't sure fire franchise candidates... and that's where Geno fits based on where he was drafted.  So, it's certainly plausible whether you agree or not.

 

The revisionist history on here can be amazing at times.  Although in their defense, maybe there were only 5-10 people strongly(and often) voicing their support for Geno last year and most of them probably arent partaking in this thread. 

 

One of the annoying things about message boards when talking about the draft is everyone's opinion gets clouded based on NFL performance.  Its easy to say Geno wasnt a top prospect now that we've seen what he did last season.  But at this point in the draft process last year, the Geno love was to the point where you didnt even want to read message board anymore.  Its similar to how every draft miss becomes a huge reach.  You'll see people post about how we reached for Blaine Gabbert.  We didnt reach for Blaine Gabbert... in fact it was the complete opposite.  Everyone seemed surprised he dropped to the point where we could take him.  But revisionist history is rampant.
