I think people forget how we play vs Geno.

Like this one last year


In the last 3 years we've sacked him 20 times in 6 games and I think he's beaten us twice and both were the last games of the year when we were resting starters on the way to playoffs. I'm confused by this notion that Geno is anything special.
I'm gonna miss seeing him eat dirt against us. Guess it's Darnold's turn!

Yeah. He’d play for them again before he’d play again for the Giants.
And mind you, hell would freeze over before he’d play for the Jets again. The Giants effed him royally
Oh man, I just thought you were getting the Jets and the Giants mixed up, I totally FORGOT he was on the Giants! Something to do with Eli's benching? What was the hubbub?

Dude has such a nomadic career, kinda insane that he became what he's become with Seattle.

Put Darnold behind that line and see how many times the Rams get to him. No one said anything about "special". Geno is just the better QB.

Sorry saying somebody was "anything special" is usually saying he's not very good. I missed where Geno was any kind of QB a team would want much less pay the 45-50 million he's reported to be asking for and give up that pick for him.

Not worried about what the Raiduhs gave up or what they pay him. I only care about our division rivals getting better/worse. In this case, i feel like the bitch chickens are worse without him. Just my humble opinion, and of course we havent even gotten through FA or the draft, so we'll see.

Seattle going into rebuild so when Rams are in rebuild in 2 years, they have a better chance of winning division
We don't need to rebuild. We will acquire a young QB to take over when Matthew is ready to leave. Matthew will employ the Vulcan Mind Touch to download all his vast QB knowledge and Soul Stealing Mystic into our young QB hopeful. McVay, our young QB, and the Horns will continue running like a well-oiled machine. :sunglasses:

Same. But whatever.

Darnold is about equivalent to Geno, they are in that same range I'd say where they need a run game and decent or better protections. So from Seattle's perspective if they get Darnold done they add a round 3 pick and can build the lines.

I think Seattle is going to be a problem in 2025. Not sure if that is true with the Raiders in that division. AFC West is fuckin nasty now man.

Geno had no protection in Seattle. And he was very good, his pocket presence is fantastic. It's genuinely a huge strength of his game now.

They're nothing alike. Yikes.

Sometimes, it's okay to just say there are players in the NFL we don't watch.

You want to crown Geno go for it. Also let me know the last time your boy won 14 games in a season.

Both are second tier, meaning they require run game and protections if you want to win with them. Splitting hairs from there is a waste of time.

Lol. Name the last time Stafford won 14 games in a regular season, haha. Darnold doesn't get a pass from me for one good season. Especially when they had so few quality wins.

Of course they are both 2nd tier. Who is arguing against that??? Or do we all just feel the need to be combative about every damn thing these days?

For me it's a lateral move at QB and they added a valuable 3rd round pick.

Wasn't he tavon and Stetson Bailey's qb in college? He outlasted them and now making insane money.

Who would have thought that after a couple of years in the pros?
