RG3 can do what Smith can but Smith can't do what RG3 can.

Smith = RG3? :spock:

I imagine Smith will look fantastic in throwing drills etc.

physically looks the part
seems intelligent/well-spoken
throws fantastic
productive stats in college

he'll shoot up the draft boards like Griffin imo

but i don't think people really want their QB to run like Griffin does.

they just can't last for long when they do

Kiper is doing a live chat in about 5 minutes if you guys want to try and debate him about Geno...

Not sure what that has to do with anything.

Smith does not = RG3. RG3 was/is clearly the better QB prospect.

Which would be AFTER he won the Heisman, which is what Sac is saying.

In a heartbeat.

I disagree.

RGIII is more athletically gifted, but Smith has superior pocket awareness.

i'm not sure how to explain it

a negative = a positive?

addition by subtraction?

not being the running threat that Griffin is will ultimately make Smith a better NFL QB?

not running forces a QB to focus on learning defenses

not running usually makes a QB more durable


see what i'm saying?

I would say the only advantage RG3 had (as a prospect) over Smith was his ability to run, which was not the reason he was drafted where he was. Smith may actually be more polished as a player in the pocket (although Griffin was very, very polished himself in that sense - there's too much talk about his running). I think the main difference in the two at this point is the team record, which colors the "pedigree". WVU's defense manages to make a stop in a couple of the shootouts, and we're talking about Smith as a Heisman candidate, or a Heisman winner, and his draft status is in absolutely no question.

But, hey, I've been wrong before.

Real scouts or idiotic draftniks/sports guys that have probably seen as much Geno as the casual fan?

And don't start the Kiper bullshit because I'll point you in the direction of where he said Jamarcus Russell was on the same level as Elway.

And I'll also remind you of the Manning/Leaf debate where most teams had them neck and neck. (I believe Marty once stated that they had Leaf over Manning.)

Sorry, but I've watched a lot of Geno and he's got a lot of the same skill set/tools/talent as the following guys:

Warren Moon and Aaron Rogers

Same size, same arm, same pocket presence, etc.

And, oddly enough, both of those guys got passed over in the draft. Moon for an entire draft in what has become the greatest draft snafu of all time and Rogers by 23 other teams - all of which who would love to have that chance back. (I still remember watching as the Chiefs pick came up and saying that I can't believe we will get a chance at Rogers. Green was at the tail end of his career and Huard was a stiff. It was like ****ing Christmas that this guy dropped right into our laps. And then they take a strongside linebacker that couldn't take on and shed blocks. **** you Carl Peterson.)

Please stay out of this thread, you have your own thread.

I guess I don't see the superior pocket awareness.

RG3 was always eyes down field and extending plays by scrambling in college, too. What sets RG3 apart is his athletic ability. Smith simply can't touch RG3's ability, it's not who he is.

In the end we are trying to compare who was/is the better prospect.

Is there a single professional, that isn't emotionally attached to the situation, that regards Smith as high of a prospect as RG3?

You are the biggest whiny crybaby on this website. And I never insult anybody so that is saying something.
