One it needs to stop. If we take a qb with the number one overall pick that means this person is it, THE LEADER OF OUR FRANCHISE! There were warnings with the Jamarcus russels of the draft. Hints that they may not be able to be th guy that were ignored because the QB is the most valued position and they were overlooked because hey they had the talent. Being THE GUY isn't talent alone. I'm sorry that I can't stress this enough.
However immature it was. The mere fact that Geno smith so easily threw up a hand sign that young men his very age die over should be enough. It is not the action of a true leader it is the action of a coward. Jamarcus russel had all the tools also and people were in love with his physical potential but the signs were there. If a drunk fan in Austin Texas can get that kind of rise out of a kid that was a Heisman hopeful so he knew exactly that image means everything can do what he did I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you don't understand the importance of that gesture. Ryfo i respect your opinion and love to read your analysis and thoughts. You are flat out wrong here. The blood gangs sign represents nothing but hate and fear. Young men lose there life over it. I have seen it personally and it is something that can not be tossed aside lightly.
And how many seasons did Aaron rodger sit on the bench and no offense Matt Ryan this far has choked when it counts the most. Geno will not have this luxury he will be expected to be the guy.
