I'm not saying Geno will be a HoF player or anything, but I don't remember the hype of Clausen even being half of the Geno hype on this board....

So, giving any comparisons, ceilings or not to a rookie from a SB MVP like Rodgers is just silly.

:rolleyes:

Geno Smith has the arm strength, mobility, and accuracy which compare to Aaron Rodgers. He also happens to throw really well on the run and from multiple arm angles like Rodgers. To say that his ceiling is Rodgers is not a stretch. It is certainly possible that he will never reach it. On the other hand, he has a chance to.

I would rather chance that then a lt or dt.

How valuable is it? At least 2 to 3 times more valuable than QBs were 15 yrs ago. Game has changed to allow the QB to shine

The Chiefs may never know

It would be nice for our franchise to take a risk. A risk that I believe would guarantee a full stadium for years to come!

Touches the ball most offensive plays, punts not withstanding. Very valuable.

bevischief 04-05-2013 06:16 AM

wtf?

rockymtnchief 04-05-2013 06:26 AM

I'd go with Rodgers.

However, I better give a shout out to Deacon Jones the bullfighter who saved my ass in Fort Worth Texas back in 2003.

Geno Smith has Aaron Rodgers upside.

If it is so obvious to us, surely it would be to certain NFL executives and coaches as well, right?

:spock: Your premise seems flawed.

In the modern NFL? QB, and it isn't even close. Go ask the Colts how important a QB is. Or the Broncos.

El Jefe 04-05-2013 09:44 AM

Rodgers, every day of the week and twice on sunday.

'Hamas' Jenkins 04-05-2013 09:45 AM

Here's another way to consider the OP:

If someone created a pass rusher in the lab that was capable of a 40 sack season, would you trade him for a franchise QB?

If someone created a left tackle in the lab that would give up one pressure every four games, would you trade him for a franchise QB?

Chief Pote 04-05-2013 09:52 AM

Aaron Rodgers...not close.

We've had a Hall of Fame DE and OT on the team and we did not win the Super Bowl, but we did with a HOF QB.....not even close.
