If Geno crushes it, why not run a QB competition? The questions it might raises might not be convenient? . You might as well say we are in it to entertain not win.It's up to Grubb on offense anyway (my opinion)
John supplies the players and MM/RG do their magic.
Geno crushes Sam in comp anyway it's not a question.
I think Geno has proven over the course of his career resilience in being a backup with unwavering doubt of getting a starting job again one day. He has at least shown confidence and consistency in that for sure.That good old boys network, gotta love it. Is Geno so darn fragile you gotta run interference for him?
I don't think that's what anyone is saying, and it's asinine to imply otherwise.If Geno crushes it, why not run a QB competition? The questions it might raises might not be convenient? . You might as well say we are in it to entertain not win.
Brand new staff. Makes sense to get a grip on things first. Everyone under review until the dust settles.Odd that a month ago we restructured Geno but he wouldn’t anoint him the starter, even though we had no other QB competition in the roster. Then we trade for Howell and suddenly Geno is the starter and Howell is the backup. Makes me wonder what went wrong. Did John put his foot down? Did they take a shot at a different QB and lose out? Did Geno find pics of Macdonald in a compromising position? Is Howell THAT bad? What has changed?
The team was high on Lock and saw his upside near the level of Geno's if I was to speculate. But the Giants offered Lock more money and a shot to start and the rest is history. Lock denies that the Giants promised him a chance at a starting gig but the truth is the the starting QB job for the Giants is up for grabs.Odd that a month ago we restructured Geno but he wouldn’t anoint him the starter, even though we had no other QB competition in the roster.

Except they haven’t seen him do a single thing live yet. When he was last asked that question Geno was the only qb on the team yet not bamed current starter. Then we give up draft capital for someone and suddenly he’s now definitely the starter? There’s more here than meets the eye. Likely something we may never know for sureBrand new staff.

Geno Smith is a hell of a lot better than a few of y'all .NET'rs give him credit for.That good old boys network, gotta love it. Is Geno so darn fragile you gotta run interference for him? . Ok...
Perhaps Ryan Grub has had time to review some game tape on Geno and feels that there is no need to diss on him.Odd that a month ago we restructured Geno but he wouldn’t anoint him the starter, even though we had no other QB competition in the roster.

I don’t disagree that Geno should be our starter this season but to no more confident in his skills after acquiring a new quarterback with starting experience than you were when you had no other options seems odd.Perhaps Ryan Grub has had time to review some game tape on Geno and feels that there is no need to diss on him.
NOW (before the Draft) is a good time to get your Ducks in a row, get your STARTERS saddled up AND Build AROUND that nucleus.
Make decisions and get your groove on so to speak.
The only thing that has changed is for people who tried to read the tea leaves, and insisted that not naming Geno as the starter earlier was somehow significant.Odd that a month ago we restructured Geno but he wouldn’t anoint him the starter, even though we had no other QB competition in the roster.

I really, really don't think there is much more to it. I'm sure they were looking at their potential acquisitions and draft options, took stock of everything and decided on an offseason roadmap, and went from there.Except they haven’t seen him do a single thing live yet.

He could look like absolute shit and there'd still be posters saying he did better than Geno.When Macdonald made comments about Geno while he was the only QB on the roster, he had just gotten here and probably hadn't had a ton of chance to look at film. Neither had Grubb. Now they have, and they're saying Geno is the starter. It makes sense and it isn't about coddling Geno or anything like that.
Of course, Howell is going to look AMAZING in preseason going against 3rd and 4th stringers and .Net will be clamoring for him to start.
