FWIW I did not want Geno. Posted so many times against him in that thread

I was pro Geno for most of the draft season.

But it was funny - I knew I saw something in his mechanics before I knew what that something was. I said I didn't like the way his hips locked as he delivered the football. It took a ton of starch out of the throw and created some odd passes because it impacted his follow through.

Then like 3 years later one of the scouts for (I think) the Colts was mentioning what he called 'locked knee passers' and how they try to avoid them. I looked at the clip and sure as hell, that's what did it. Those quarterbacks with a locked front knee (and there are a shocking number of them) can't get their hips through. It was exactly what Geno was doing and I never put my finger on why.

You need a soft front knee otherwise your body is fighting against itself. And Geno, even the improved version of him, still has that.

So at the very least I had softened my stance on him a little by the draft because I saw something weird in there. And that's about the best I can say about my fascination with Chocolate Pain. Because yeah, I really wanted that guy for a couple months leading up to the draft.
