I've always had the feeling that a lot of Chiefs fans couldn't handle a rookie QB... there's always seemed to be this comfort associated with retread QBs, and some people go to great lengths to point out every little flaw of young QBs. Granted, the the meltdowns on this board aren't really indicative of the entire fanbase, but I'm certain there would be several "this guy isn't working out" threads after every loss.

Hell, I think it was the 2nd or 3rd week of presason and someone posted something like "I think we've seen all we need to from Geno to know he's a bust." LMAO

Poor Geno has the same clueless blank stare that those on here, who are fans of his, have. Geno looks like he has the IQ of a door knob. Only figures he'd have a lot of followers here.

Good job of staying away from this fail, Dorsey.

I bag on Geno and his "followers" on here. It is not because I don't want, or am afraid of 1st round QBs. I didn't and still don't believe that Geno was worth a first round draft pick. I have wanted several other QBs before they were drafted. But I am selective. I do not seem to find a QB in every draft that I like or think will be good.
I think the reason for a lot of the QB draft hate stuff that has been going on here is because some posters have lost that perspective. They think there is a great QB in every draft, every year. And year in and year out that any other poster doesn't agree they get unfairly labeled or treated poorly . Until those posters lose their desperation and come back to the reality of QBs and the NFL there will always be this issue on cheifsplanet. Better get use to it.

True, you can't really have one without the other, and it's why the conversations are often so mind numbing... it's all black or white, mostly agenda driven, and like politics or religion, arguing just further entrenches people in their opinion.

In the end though, it doesn't really matter if Geno becomes a star or not, and it doesn't make anyone right or wrong. It's not rocket science... had Aaron Rodgers failed, the Packers would have kept trying, and it doesn't mean they shouldn't have tried in the first place. If Geno fails, the Jets will try again, as they should. Sure, any organization wants to do their homework, find someone who fits the system, etc; but waiting for the next (supposedly) guaranteed star isn't the answer.

I've heard people say he's not smart enough to be an NFL QB, but he scored 26 on the Wonderlic. :shrug:

because Alex Smith is a 8 year veteran, who was acquired for the explicit purpose of winning now, and Geno Smith is a rookie playing his second game

does that really require pointing out?

I was more anti-Alex than anything. Geno looks like a QB starting his first 2 games in the league. It's way too early to be comparing him to Alex Smith.

Apparently, that was really a WOW moment for me as well.

What happened to "excuses" ??? That guys like Luck and Wilson are stepping right in and kicking ass? Oh, I see... that only works when people try to defend Alex for being a 20 yr old Urban Meyer QB going straight into a first year WCO in SF with undeniably terrible talent around him. :doh!:

Hypocrisy FTW!

KC fans:

All we need out of the first pick in the draft is an average right tackle that after a few years becomes pretty good but quarterbacks are busts after 2 games

jesus, you 49er fans are so embarrassingly stupid...

nope

he was a bust after 1 preseason game

Alex Smith was not a bust after years of sucking shit...

that's how it works for the True Fan

Yeah, good thing geno didn't go to Oakland, right?

haha, that's right. When caught in a corner, lash out at the poster... not the point. :)

I don't think the majority here think the guy is a bust after 2 games. That's asinine. I think most of it is backlash from the great geno battles and its kind of just pure fun to sling some shit towards one side or the other.

Same as we heard from clay and the other dude after last weeks game, this is the other side of the coin.
