Stop with the ridiculous bullshit that Genos sophomore season in a pro offense and his success later in a spread remotely compares to Lucks. It's embarrassing. Luck wasn't hype. He was the real deal. Geno isn't even close to lucks level as a prospect, but then, nobody in the last ten years was even close either.
I don't know what you're implying with the warren moon example. I sure hope it's not what I think you are.

Apples and Oranges. Strawman argument.
Luck played where Luck played.
Should Geno have transfered to Stanford or USC (two of the last vestiges of a "pro style set" in college football)?
It is what it is, and I'm just letting you know that Smith has reps, a full season of starting and putting up excellent numbers, in a true pro style set. He's got the accuracy, the pocket presence, perfect release, great arm, great velocity to all points on the field, etc.
You are making the argument for Luck last season with the exact same attributes that make Geno an excellent QB prospect this season. He's putting up near identical numbers with a substantially lesser supporting cast.
Geno Smith, at least in my opinion, is as good a QB prospect as I've seen outside of a guy named Luck in the past 10/15 years. And he's not as far away from Luck as you are envisioning. They've got a lot of the same tools and qualities.
