Geno Truthers have been soooo quiet lately. I remember all offseason getting downvoted for saying it was a good decision we moved on.
The easiest thing to say is that JSN does not have the same season he is having if Geno were still here. Otherwise, that clip just showed two men who each took accountability, in their own way.
4 int in one game is brutal, my worry is he falls apart under pressure and this was the big reason the Vikings got rid of Darnold. Taking 4 quarters to score one TD with an elite wr group is concerning but it’s one game. Hope we win out going forward. Either way getting rid of Geno was the best thing we could have done.
lol I think Geno’s response was actually funny. The Raiders are absolutely horrible and that O line might be the worst O line I’ve ever seen. Sure I love Sam, but we still haven’t won any meaningful games with him yet. We are in the same position so far as we were last year where we can’t beat our 2 division rivals the Rams and the 49ers.
Say what you will about Darnold, but I’ve only ever seen him take full accountability for his mistakes with humility and resilience. I’ve never seen him pouting on the sidelines like Geno.
To be fair, by all accounts our plan was to keep Geno. His asking price and more likely his desire to get out and reunite with Pete is was kept him from staying. Then Darnold just dropping into our laps was excellent fortune. At that point he was clearly the most compelling option on and off the field.
Props to JS for not chasing him though and in turn negotiating such a team friendly deal for Darnold.
I love geno, but there are two levels of accountability on display lol, one that blames the pheromones in the air and the one that blames himself for throwing 4 picks
Geno picks a target from the hike and stares at him until he thinks he is open then throws. Really easy to pick off a pass if you (the entire defense) know where it is going. I noticed Darnold doing the same thing this weekend. If you watch Mahomes and Brady, their eyes are never locked on a guy until the last millisecond.
My biggest issue with Geno was always how damn negative he comes off. Before this, I only saw the scowls, but this is pretty much the exact energy he was always putting out there.
It’s actually crazy because on Sunday people actually said we should have kept Geno. It’s not necessarily the performance but lack of accountability difference here
I honestly can’t think of a GM I would rather have.
I still believe in Sam
Geno isn’t that bad; the Raiders just don’t have the players to make the O-line work. The Hawks are better with Sam, but the Geno slander is unbecoming.
And Pete would’ve defended Genos behavior
LOL man acts like he left a team after winning a super bowl haha not even russ talked like that in denver
I saw what the fans and social media say about geno, he gets criticized non stop
So if I mess up at my job I can blame it on geno
Geno made a poor decision and screwed himself by going to this dumpster fire of a team. Probably was made song and dance promise from PC and jumped ship in hopes of a big payday. A little less money and a competent leadership team around you is always a better situation but he burned those bridges anyways.
Funny part was, the money wasn’t even less according to the rumors. He just got sold an old broken down Pinto while being told it was a classic car that just needed a new engine.
I mean I’m glad we moved on from Geno, but it’s not like this is some podium gaffe.
Oakland got themselves a reverse Shaggy.
Play this out in reverse though- Darnold goes to Vegas, Geno stays in Seattle. I bet we’d all be saying what a genius Schneider was for keeping Geno as not much would be asked of him here, meanwhile Darnold would be setting interception records every week in Vegas. The big failure in all this was Geno not realizing that the Seahawks were a far better team than the Raiders, and as QB you are held responsible for how the team plays.
Poor Geno. His current LT is our 4th string RT from last year. They traded his best WR. He’s got a good TE and that’s almost it.
Watching Geno sling intermediate routes from empty shotgun packages into triple covered windows that tight with 0 protection all night was truly disgusting football to watch.

JS knows how to see the writing on the wall
What being on the Raiders does to a man
Geno is who we always thought he was.
