Maybe many people who defended Geno Smith, the quarterback, when he played for the Seattle Seahawks, were wrong. To be fair, we certainly did that here at 12th Man Rising. Smith, after all, seemed like a redemption story, and there weren't many narratives like his.
But over three years, feelings for him began to sour. 12s learned that the quarterback still has a bit of a temper (he used to get in fights with his New York Jets teammates, his first NFL team), and that was disruptive in the locker room and on the sidelines. It is difficult to do well if you think a team leader is going to yell at you.
