I'll bet you have fun rooting against Geno this weekend.
I don't think even Geno believes he can play lights out and earn the starting job over Wilson once he's healthy again. All Geno can do is play well enough to make him worthy of a larger contract in the off season.
I only said that because 63 like to put down Patrick Mahomes by saying that the Chiefs went 2-0 in his absence two years ago, which is a lie anyway because they were 1-1. We all know he's rooting for Geno to bomb.
I agree though. Even if Geno goes 3-0, it's still Russ' job when he's healthy.
Only way I think Geno's performance matters is if he looks phenomenal, and the team still fails to get past wild card weekend. Then, if there's more friction with Russ in the offseason, Schneider could consider unloading his salary, getting assets, and then going with the much cheaper option. Russ has all the leverage in the world right now, since we dont have comparable options.
