What exactly gives Geno this "major bust potential"? What is his "fatal flaw" that he needs to overcome and if he doesnt, he will bust? |

Just like any other QB coming out. When you have a high ceiling and a low floor you have more potential to bust than a person with a higher floor.

If he is flawless as you try to paint him to be, there is no reason anybody should be debating him as the #1 pick in a lackluster qb class. Or why many nfl analysts are hesitant to put him there. This place overreacts. I like him. But to pretend he isn't riskier than many #1 qbs is laughable. |

You said he has "major bust potential" and I simply asked what specifically gave you this thought. Is he dumb? Bad arm? Poor accuracy? Cant read defenses? Doesnt understand coverages? Immobile? Bad leader? Injury prone? Is he an asshole off the field? For you to make a bullshit claim like "he has major bust potential", surely you had something to base that claim off of... Im just asking what you see that I am missing... |

He is going to have to win games with his head. He is mobile enough, but not enough to mask inability to win in the pocket. People point to a "good enough" job in an average pro offense a few years ago. Today, he runs a very college oriented system where he isn't asked to go through progressions. He hasn't played against super complicated defenses to give us a feel for how he will react to out thinking a brilliant defense. We have to take leaps of faith that his football iq, coachability, and work ethic will help him do that. Again. I would take him in a heartbeat. But fans of bad teams are the only ones who pretend he comes without risk. It's another case of cp exaggerating about a guy they like. Outside of cp, he is universally viewed as a borderline #1 pick in a lackluster qb class. If he is as clear cut as you say, given his skill set, he would be a consensus #1. The only reason hes becoming more of a consensus pick is because barkleys stock is nose diving. |

By the way... The last time you called me out for saying dumb shit was because I didn't hop on the bandwagon that we should hire a 60 year old offensive coordinator who just a year ago was pretty widely hated by educated steelers fans.

Arians has a near perfect record with developing first round quarterbacks and has a backround in the Steelers system and is a OC under a guy that has ties to Baltimore. The guy would be able to get a DC from either of those systems and develop our quarterback. Not sure whats not to like... |

He is the most overrated coordinator in the nfl. Apart from coddling Ben, he led one of the worst red zone offenses. Got his qbs clobbered. And never adjusted to situations like maybe deciding to run the ball when your qb plays on a broken ankle. Arians is a good positions coach whose genius is largely driven by coaching two unbelievably gifted qbs, and he is a players coach which I absolutely do not want. There is a lot not to like. Again, post what you just wrote of a steelers board. You will get drilled worse than knowmo. |
