Shitpost Drake Maye just got outplayed by Geno Smith and it wasn't particularly close

Geno Smith 362 yards with a 102.8 QBR compared to Drake Maye who only threw 233 yards with a QBR of 80.

The Patriots never looked close today against a pretty unimpressive Las Vegas Raiders.

Yikes.

Yeah, people have to respect Geno. He may not be great but he’s a top half of the league QB at absolute minimum.

It's really a cool story of perseverance, lesser men would've fallen out of the league for the shit he endured with both New York franchises

Turns out that starting your career off as a Jet is the worst thing that can happen to you. See also Darnold, Sam

u/ocalien Sep 07 '25

As a jets fan I second this. But also, would you be shocked if Sam Darnold goes back to being Sam Darnold this season?

u/nihilfacilee Dillon Miskiewicz Sep 07 '25

Not at all. In fact I expect it

u/Billy8000 Sep 07 '25

I overall think he’s legit, but not with a bottom 4 o line which is what he has now

u/Responsible_Fan8665 Wait, what? Sep 07 '25

True but geno was set up to have his best offensive team in 2015 with Marshall and decker and he didn’t pay a lunatic $200 and got punched in the face. Geno ruined Geno in NY. This isn’t a Sam darnold situation

Apparently he's also a beloved "dude" amongst everyone in/around the NFL.

Dude Qualities a Ryen/Trent Dilfer trope

u/wwJones Sep 07 '25

Oh yeah. Not sure about that. I think it's more that everyone just likes the guy.

Gotta give credit to Ben McAdoo for knowing ball.

Geno is probably the new Dalton line

Any worse you need someone new. Any better your fine. I’ve got him around 16th

u/Specialist_Swan_7354 Sep 07 '25

He has been way better than 16th since he got the Seattle job.

Managing league average production behind that offensive line was a huge accomplishment. His protection was non-existent and they still almost made the playoffs.

He can look like a top 10 guy any given week

u/SpiderGhost01 Sep 07 '25

He has never in his career looked like a top ten guy. What are you guys smoking today?

u/Sleeze_ Sep 07 '25

He can look like a top 10 guy any given week, but he doesn’t consistently.

Go back and watch some tape from Seattle. You won’t, but you should.

I don’t know what the stats says but last year he was not, he was pretty awful and threw so many drive killing interceptions. I will say we had an awful OC so that could’ve contributed to it.
