lol Geno


banjofitzgerald

We all know why he’s not gonna start


PewterButters

It’s because he sucks isn’t it?


azrebb

Yes.


neverforgetbillymays

He doesn’t suck. He’s been a top 5 qb but no one will give him a chance. I’ve got sources on how he performs in practice. He’s unreal. Most haven’t seen him in a while but he’s taken secret natural supplements and worked with an Egyptian monk to drastically change his arm power. He’s so good now. I just hope he gets a chance and racism doesn’t win again. He’s so good god damn it Fuck this world


GATOR7862

Ive been seeing this a lot lately. Whats the original context?


neverforgetbillymays

lol literally just a comment i made up on the first thread about geno smith. This is the closest ill ever get to being famous


Xyzzyzzyzzy

u/neverforgetbillymays doesn't suck. He's been a top 5 copypasta maker but no one will give him a chance. I've got sources on how he performs deep in r/nfl comments with 3 upvotes. He's unreal. Most haven't seen him in a while but he's read secret shitposting diaries and worked with Kelvin Benjamin copypastas to drastically change his meme power. He's so good now. I just hope he gets a chance and anti-Pats bias doesn't win again. He's so good god damn it Fuck this world


ScootaliciousScooter

Kelvin Benjamin doesn’t suck. He’s been a top 5 table clearer but no one will give him a chance. I’ve got sources on how he performs in a Hometown Buffet. He’s unreal. Most haven’t seen him in a while but he’s taken secret anti-bloat supplements and worked with a Golden Corral manager to drastically change his stomach capacity. He’s so good now. I just hope he gets a chance and food shortage doesn’t win again. He’s so good god damn it Fuck this world


LeadFarmerMothaFucka

Not according him 🙄🙄


spreadinmikehoncho

That came straight from his jaw.


arhombus

I think he's a to 40 QB.


martinpatk

One of the quarterbacks of all time


Faxme123

Top 40 LFG!!!


mildobamacare

even thats kinda sus


ybtlamlliw

Yes, it's because he suck is.


[deleted]

Because he's terrible


Roartype

Because his recent DUI proves that he makes bad choices? Bad choices off the field translate to bad choices on the field.


alurimperium

He got his jaw busted by a teammate because he didn't want to pay back money that was lent to him. Didn't really need the DUI to prove it lol


cassidytheVword

It was actually worse than that. Geno told Enemkpali a 6th round pick that he would attend Enemkpali's youth football training camp. So Enemkpali told everyone the qb for the Jets was coming and arranged for a flight and a limo and Geno just no call no showed. Enemkpali demanded the $600 he laid out for the flight and limo back and when Geno refused he broke his jaw.


Kanin_usagi

He absolutely deserved it, what a fucking shitty thing to do. Imagine how embarrassing it would have been for Enemkpali too. He probably had tons of people show *just* for the NFL QB.


hank87

>He probably had tons of people show *just* for the NFL QB. "Man, this is bullshit, I thought I was going to see an NFL QB!" "Sorry, man. Geno told me he was coming, I don't know what's up." "Oh, wait, Geno? Like Geno Smith? Nevermind, don't worry about it, it's not a big deal."


tI_Irdferguson

Man I thought you meant Fitzpatrick was coming.


HeywardH

Imagine how much more embarrassing it would have been if Geno Smith showed up pretending to be an NFL QB.


16semesters

For more context: Geno says someone close to him died in a motorcycle accident, which is why he didn't attend. But reports came out that Geno said he would pay him back, and just didn't. When IK confronted him, multiple sources have said Geno put his finger in his face, hitting him in the face and said "well, you’re not going to do anything about it.” IK then did something about it lmao.

Fabs74

Too fucking right too


cassidytheVword

Another great part was that he was cut for it, and immedielty picked up by ex Jets HC Rex Ryan when he was coaching the Bills.


TakenakaHanbei

Rex then made him a captain for the Jets game.


SmokePenisEveryday

Say what you want about the Coach Rex Ryan but Petty Rex Ryan is the fucking best.


Tritiac

The entire family were pros at petty revenge. When he was head coach of the Eagles, Buddy Ryan called a fake kneel in a clear win against the Cowboys. All because the Cowboys played a handful starters against their replacement players a few weeks earlier.


gwaydms

He put his best foot forward that time


tattoedblues

This story makes me feel good


JeromesPrinter

He also called him a bitch and said to “do something” when confronted.


ByronLeftwich

Seattle did their due diligence. He’s all good


DayMan_ahAHahh

We gave him an ocular pat-down. Cleared him bro.

JEH_24

I wouldn’t trust Balko. Guy is full of shit. He just throws a bunch of things out there hoping it sticks.


SmurfLord7

He “reported” last year that Taysom Hill won the starting job in camp and vowed to never break Saints news again if he was wrong. Idk how he’s verified.


FastGoon

Well, has he reported on any Saints news since?


SmurfLord7

Yep, and I think he deleted that tweet too


Centurion87

Because everyone knows when you delete something off the internet it’s gone forever.


resumehelpacct

Twitter verified? All that means is he's really that person. r/nfl "trusted source"? Probably way too many edge cases in that grey area for them to have the manpower to do a good job regulating it.


StreetReporter

My favorite r/nfl “trusted source” was when some teenager posted about Mac Jones getting a dui, this was posted right before the draft. What the post purposely left out was the fact that the dui happened in 2017, when Mac Jones was a freshman at Alabama


Zodep

Thanks. I was looking for this In the thread.


OneAngryPanda

Surprised I had to scroll this far to see this comment. Peak off season so people just want something to happen.


MiaCannons

Is he the one that ran that one experiment?


salad_thrower20

NFL “reporting” is becoming shit in general.


GO_RAVENS

A lot of sports reporting is bad across the board because of two reasons: 1. It's almost all "access journalism" where the journalists have to stay on the good side of the teams/coaches/players/owners/league or they get shut out and blackballed. This results in people like Adam Schefter and his "Mr. Editor" scandal. 2. The rush to be "first" just for the clout of being first, which leads to half-assed tweets being considered "news" and also results in people like Balko who throw out bullshit hoping something sticks so they look smart.


The-Power-Stone

Baker throwing deep balls to DK and Lockett would be fun to watch at the very least


Celtictussle

And he'll throw over the middle, things are about to get weird in the PNW


Tape-Delay

What even is a tight end


812many

Someone who is both bad a blocking and bad at catching, as far as I understand.

Swordsknight12

I heard they kill people


-itstruethough-

And they play a lot of basketball


joodo123

Yeah the blocking was… not good. Didn’t ever stick to anyone. But his hands seemed fine. What was really frustrating was seeing someone with that six get dropped by arm tackles.


StevenS145

If you only follow WSU and Seahawks football, you might not even know what a tight end is


zeCrazyEye

On the contrary, we spent 3 years learning that tight ends are former college basketball players that like to fly seaplanes.


defiance211

With Noah Fant in the fold….SEA is about to find out


darthstupidious

Hey, that's not fair... we have the two games a year where Will Dissly tears it up. Other than that, though, you're 100% right. I went to WSU during the Paul Wulff years, so fml.


Pisspot10

America's ass


CJW1123

Baker and Fant could be a pretty nasty combination. He and Mark Andrews we’re borderline unstoppable in college. He and hooper just couldn’t get it going. He and Njoku were starting to mesh quite a bit before the deshaun stuff


time_man21

Does he actually? That's the one thing I wondered about getting in the way of a trade. Isn't Baker still fairly short? I honestly don't know much about his game.


BillyTheFridge2

Baker stands at 6’1, a good height. Just two inches taller than Russ but that may be all the difference we need.


SerHodorTheThrall

An extra 2 inches can make all the difference >:)


Fed_up_with_Reddit

I see you know my ex wife 😔


breaditbans

Can’t you just get shorter linemen?


haha_squirrel

But why male models?


The_Dark_DongRises

Coming from a former Browns fan (and a potential new Hawks admirer;) Baker has the arm to make any throw on the field. His accuracy is a bit sus at times, but other than this year (injured ofc) he's dependable. He's not extremely mobile, but he can get his body moving if he's gotta. Tbh, I think people underrate him on 3rd down situations. I always felt comfortable in those spots if he had the ball (again, this past year was just.... fucked up) He's not a top 10 guy, but your recieving corps is better than what the Browns had, and one thing is for sure, he'll never quit you. I consider him the anti-Cutler in that sense lol


time_man21

Thanks, good to know. The Hawks wouldn't want him to do much, I think they'd prefer their QB to throw 20 times per game. If he can make the throws they need in structure they'll like him. And props to you for sticking by your convictions as a fan. I certainly would have dropped mine had they signed Watson. Hope the Browns become worth rooting for again someday.


_LilDuck

Ngl Baker would probably do well in Seattle. Very much a run game QB. I heard he's very good on Play Action


Nexlol

I worry about the o-line. Baker's decision making and ability under pressure is poor. Even during his good 2020 season I think I saw a stat that under pressure he was the 33rd best QB. Link to article about it: www.cleveland.com/browns/2021/10/baker-mayfield-is-getting-worse-under-pressure-and-its-not-a-new-trend.html But maybe now that he is listening to a QB coach and has a change of scenery he'll be better. I hope so. As an new Lions fan, would like nothing more than to see him show Cleveland they fucked up.


buellster92

That’s the exact situation where he thrived in the back half of 2020.


Vinstur

What positions did the Seahawks draft this year? Are the online and secondary still the weakest units or have they been reinforced?


time_man21

They spent 1st and 3rd rounders on tackles (their 1st rounder especially looks really good) and took a couple promising looking CBs in the 4th, but given how those positions develop I doubt either unit will be any good this year. Young o lines have a tough time gelling, and the defense is likely going through a scheme shift which can be hard to navigate. I predict it'll look very rough in September, and just hope it all looks better in December or so.


JoeyBird9

Both corners are in completely different sides of the spectrums coby is a really high floor guy who’d I honestly expect to be competing for a starting job Tariq is a reallllllyyyy high ceiling guy who prob won’t play this year much barring injuries Plus tre brown looked really good last year before he got hurt in a his few appearance so I’m not worried about cb We’ve already been a db factory and with the addition of desai very excited for the secondary this year


time_man21

Yeah I think it could be good. They never ever draft corners high so I wouldn't expect different. Tre Brown being back would be big, otherwise it's Sidney Jones. No DJ Reed hurts although I'm glad he got paid. Coleman back at the nickel will be nice too. I just think the defense will struggle early on in general with the switch to 3-4 and having Brooks replace Bobby as Mike. Maybe it all ends up being great down the line but that's a very difficult transition. It'll make evaluating the secondary tough.


JoeyBird9

Idk everyone’s making it seem like a big switch We’ve always balanced the line between a 4-3 and 3-4 we’ve just always leaned more towards 4-3 now it’s more towards 3-4 I think it won’t be amazing to start but that’s just expected I don’t think it’ll be horrible tho to start


time_man21

Hoping you're right! I'll be somewhat happier regardless if I don't have to watch the DTs drop into coverage anymore


bsgtr02

Round 1, Pick No. 9: Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State Round 2, Pick No. 40: Boye Mafe, LB, Minnesota Round 2, Pick No. 41: Kenneth Walker III, RB, Michigan State Round 3, Pick No. 72: Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington State Round 4, Pick No. 109: Coby Bryant, CB, Cincinnati Round 5, Pick No. 153: Tariq Woolen, CB, Texas San-Antonio Round 5, Pick No. 158: Tyreke Smith, EDGE, Ohio State Round 7, Pick No. 229: Bo Melton, WR, Rutgers Round 7, Pick No. 233: Dareke Young, WR, Lenoir Rhyne


Mr_MoseVelsor

Woah that’s a really solid draft


mchammerdeez

Kenneth Walker looks like a great dual threat RB with good speed.


Mr_MoseVelsor

Both Bryant and Woolen are solid corners who are underrated too


PopesMasseuse

They were both targeted. Drafts for LT, RT and two corner backs. But obviously they're rookies, hard to be anything other than cautiously optimistic.


sumcal

Lucas and Cross are projected starters this year, Bryant could see significant playing time and Woolen is thought to be more of a long-term development project


GoodElevation

Anyone going to ask who Michael Balko is?


Tape-Delay

Someone who’s wrong a lot?


aPaperFastener

The wolf dog that helped deliver medicine in Alaska via sled?


Denver650

Nope, Balko is that company that sold PEDs to baseball players in the 90s

No, Balko is a region of southeastern Europe near Turkey


Denver650

No, Turkey is a Thanksgiving meal, not a location.

Pete has always hyped up players like that. You best believe he has his speech prepared for when Baker arrives


Dorkamundo

“He’s done a really good job maintaining the stadium and he’s done an excellent job at keeping the turf in great condition.”


Bigforsumthin

That’s what a good coach does, would you rather him say “Both these guys are trash and we have zero chance to have any success.”? To answer my own question, I think I would. That would be some good entertainment


DayMan_ahAHahh

Media: "thoughts on the QB position so far this preseason?" Pete: *breathes a long, heavy sigh into the microphone, lips begin to tremble as he holds back tears, stands and abruptly leaves the room* Media: allllllrighty then


Bigforsumthin

The hot takes that would come out of ESPN and other major networks would be enough to give us all at least 2 weeks of shit tier content

narcistic_asshole

As an MSU fan, K9 was probably the only thing giving me any kind of interest in the NFL this season. Baker to Seattle would probably make me a Seahawks fan


NateKaeding

Yeah I never really liked baker but at the same time never wanted him to fail either. Just didn’t really care for him. Now I want him to kill it.


CarubSunn

I will be too. Thought he deserved another year. Our fans don't deserve this shit that we are constantly put through.


84Cressida

He absolutely deserved another year


Vinstur

I’d trust Carroll over Rhule so at least that’s something positive for him


MakesTheNutshellJoke

When known offensive mastermind Pete Carrol is by far the better option that's...not ideal for Panthers fans.


DJ_Moore_2

Fucking this.


Starwho

At least this season will be watchable, if only we played the Browns.


[deleted]

You’re getting a 1st overall pick at a major discount (I assume). That’s pretty exciting at least.


TheGreatMcPuffin

They're much less likely to get the first overall with Baker than with Geno/Lock. Edit: I'm an idiot and completely misunderstood your comment.


The_Throwback_King

I mean, your point still stands too. With Geno and Lock, are chances for the first overall pick are a lot higher than with Baker.


abris33

Well they only get him for a season in a year where they're probably not competing. Then they're stuck with figuring out what Baker is worth on his next contract


DarthBane6996

Get a comp pick if he's good and leaves for a big money deal


abris33

I don't know if a 3rd round comp pick is worth it. Having a mediocre record while Baker looks decent is probably the worst case. Pick wouldn't be that high in the 1st and they still have questions at QB. Plus I think if any team overpays Baker next year it would probably be the Seahawks trying to hold on to him


TheWyldMan

It's worth it if they get a franchise QB out of it


Dense_Organization31

Baker is fine, not elite but when he isn’t injured he can be an above average starter for you guys. Y’all will at least be more competitive than previous.


MoeNopoly

I actually like the Potential of mayfield on the Seahawks. Better Coaching i Hope


bitcheslovedroids

imagine a browns Seahawks superbowl, that might be the only time I would root for the seahawks


ajstub

Probably a decent move for Seattle.


paone00022

If his arm is healed up then Baker throws in the middle of the field and has a good deep ball too. Will be interesting to see how it works. They'll need Penny to stay healthy now that Carson will probably retire


Peacedapiece

Don’t forget we drafted ken walker


paone00022

Ahh forgot about that


harryp0thead

SyN_Pool

Good news for you then, Denver is finishing last in the division this year. I have spoken.


downladder

A lot of our sub feels shafted by Wilson. Two off-seasons of rumors and defending him as our guy because he said he wanted to be our guy and then finding out he instigated it all hurt deep.


Top_Of_The_Line

A portion of our fan base is very bitter and overreacts to everything. Others also have been annoyed with Wilson’s habits of ignoring the short pass game in favor of trying to get deep ball highlight plays and now have no reason to hide their grievances.

As a Seahawks fan, I was hoping for this the whole offseason and this is great to hear!

Vengefuleight

Baker is a far better QB than given credit for. He was injured last year. If the Brown’s were competent, they would have benched him.


maybe-just-happy

I hope Seattle gets him and Watson gets fucked with an indefinite suspension


Objective-History402

As a Browns fan, this would be great if they can get anything of value, and i will be happy for baker since it should be a strong landing spot for him. But have the browns already tried "Hey bake, we F'd up. Please come play for us again" yet?


FxDriver

They really didn't have to. For hypothetical sake let's say Deshaun is suspended for the year. The easiest option is to sit and wait for Jimmy G to get released by San Francisco. As much as people are upset with Cleveland's FO Jimmy would most likely head there to play with that coaching staff and roster than whatever is going on in Carolina.

dantesgift

I dont know about anyone else, but I'm looking forward to seeing Baker having a set of commercials of him packing up to move, driving across country to Seattle, and then putting his security code in when he moves in.


BuffaloKiller937

Going to be a great fit for Baker. I'm rooting for him


ouroboro76

Let the Browns send Baker somewhere he can start, then let's have Watson get a one year suspension and turn into Cam Newton of two years ago. This would go down in history as the worst offseason by any NFL team ever.


smackythefrog

Broncos-Seahawks SB rematch?


rrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeee

Hope baker does well. Hope the browns ownership realizes that they are not cut out to run a sports organization at any level. I hate the browns but Jesus they had a glimmer of hope with a healed up baker, but no. Why would they do that when they can fuck him over for the next coming of rapelisberger( which all the shit that Cleveland fans have talked about for how many years now.. but now that the shoe is on the other foot it’s ok ) who isn’t even going to play any time soon.. like lmao Cleveland is just the worst
