I followed Pete on Twitter for all of about 2 weeks. I wouldn't let him save me from a burning house. Let alone, believe anything he writes.

Apologizes to the OP, I didn't read this.

so, shockingly.... those who hate geno LOVE the article, those who love geno HATE the article.

the world keeps going round.

Meh.

i thought it was a fair article. He didn't really say anything that others haven't said about Geno already.

Geno isn't a perfect QB. I've never said that. But I've always felt that the raw talent is there and that it's worth taking a risk on. If the Chiefs drafted him and sat him until Alex flamed out, it's a win/win.

Do I need to read it or can I just stick with my standard - "Pete Prisco is an uniformed jackass" response?

I'm fairly certain I've never seen anything from Prisco that I've found even remotely insightful.

He mentions some stuff that you and other have mentioned. Lacks leg drive etc.

At least he watched tape. I fear that people expect perfection. They are willing to take an LT that needs coaching; but, heaven forbid if you take a QB that needs coaching.

Yeah...I went ahead and read it.

I agree with his analysis, I just disagree with his conclusion. You're right - he says the same things I said about Geno 4 months ago; his lower half is just not that good and he falls in love with touch passes on throws he needs to fire in there (in all honesty, I'm not convinced he watched the tape - I think he just cribbed my posts).

All that said - why does that preclude him from being a high pick?

He has a flaw in his leg drive that he needs to work on. And for the record, it looked better during the combine and pro days, so I believe Weinke has helped in that regard.

I feel like Prisco's fallen into the "Luck" trap, just like so many others before him. If a QB isn't a perfect, polished prospect, then he's not worth taking high because "He's not Andrew Luck".

That's just not a fair bar.

Nothing he says from an analysis standpoint is unfair, but his application of the analysis is just wrong-headed.

I take some comfort from the fact that EVERYONE thought Russell Wilson was not NFL ready and that he was a late round pick. Some thought the Seahawks were crazy for taking him so early.

He did not compare favorably to Andrew Luck, so he was not worthy of an early round pick. The same fools are saying the thing about every other QB they have seen since Luck. Wilson has proven he had first round talent. Could Geno suffer from the same?

Isn't Prisco the one that said Matt Cassel was a better passer than Tony Romo?

Pete Prisco sounds like a porn name.

I legitimately like Matt Barkley.

But every post of yours about Geno just spews forth all kinds of period blood. It makes me hate the dude when I shouldn't.

When? Prisco has hated all things Kansas City for a while. He's been really anti SP since he got here. I think most Geno lovers would find themselves agreeing with a lot of Priscos views.

Who is Pete Prisco, and more importantly, why do we care what he says? Douche.

I was wrong. I asked him and he said it wasn't him. My bad.

He's actually a pretty knowledgable dude, and he calls shit how he see's it. Even if he's wrong.
