Its very Qb friendly system and he will have structure and guidance, something he has not had before. Also he is very mobile like Rodgers and has a strong arm. Can he read a defense and chose the right plays. Will he have the ability with this line to extend plays? I am really interested to see how his skills can be used in this offense. I know with the Jets he was prone to Interceptions. Will he still be a gunslinger type or will he buy into it and grow?
I just want to see what a mobile Quarterback can do in this system with these weapons. that is what exhibition games are for to see the back ups in action.
I never thought highly of Geno. Always thought the mental part was never there for him to succeed at a high level. Mac's offense seems to favor QB's that can make quick reads. Also, the night of the draft told you everything you needed to know about his mental makeup. He was so bad with the Jets however, it would be tough for him not to do better.
Smith /Johnson will make the team as a guy you can win games with this season as a backup Number 2. Webb will be 3.
You make it sound so matter of fact. Would you put your life savings on it? IMO McAdoo will keep 3, and use this year as a redshirt season for Webb.
that being said he might do ok, i just hope we never have to worry about that.
He won't set the world on fire, but I think he can win a few games if he had to. Definitely more than Webb can coming off the bench (I'd guess Johnson as well, though Johnson has never even been a starter to begin with - I do vaguely remember Josh Johnson "hype" coming out of the draft, but that was probably 7 years ago at this point).
There really are plenty of them, some mobile, some that have even played in WCOs.
Plus, I think the jets did have coaches that tried to coach him up.
Unfortunately to this point his problems have all been between his ears.
Geno flashed at times as a Jet but I'm not so sure he had the best coaching or the right system that suited his skill set. Is he a #1 QB? Not likely. But I think he'd do a better job running this offense than Johnson and is certainly way ahead of Webb who is too raw.
NFL experience, real game experience, is a plus and he has enough of it. Much depends upon how much he can absorb and how quickly he fires the ball to the right player & especially to the right jersey. I think he could be efficient and his legs add a dimension to the offense. I wouldn't write him off.
The only tough decision will be if Johnson and Smith are about equal, too close to call.
Well, it's a low-risk move at a time they needed a veteran backup.
It was never going to be more than one year, because that makes no sense for the player, who is trying to resurrect his value and angle for a starting job somewhere eventually
What's not to get?

Still don't understand this signing. Coming off an ACL, on a 1 year deal.

If Johnson and Smith are close in camp, it will be a tough decision indeed. Not sure how that would play out.
a) what makes it QB friendly?
b) the over/under on how many sack Geno would take - 50?
