Geno Smith was nearly the exact opposite. Mopey, dopey and lacking confidence and more importantly, charisma. His actions at the draft and post draft have proven that the red flags raised prior to the draft weren't far off the mark.

Don't get me wrong, I can totally understand why his stock drop in the draft. Geno Smith didn't do himself any favors leading up to the draft and him not doing the senior bowl really hurt too. That said, the Chiefs wanted Alex Smith before the combine and they were up ready to make a deal so they didn't put stock into Geno Smith from evaluations because they had their quarterback or was getting him via trade with the 9ers. Chiefs were wanting Alex Smith before the combine. IMO they gave up too much to get him.

I do think some how Geno Smith got a bad rap & made himself look worse is just how it happened for him. He needed to do better against Kstate and other teams he struggled with. So I get why he drop in the draft. I still would have been happy with getting Geno Smith for his talent and ability as a quarterback that he shown in college. He is elusive with great pocket awareness and can make all the throws. His TD INT ratio was pretty damn good. I think he is a kid that can learn and find success by creating opportunity to prove himself. It's going take time for him.


Geno Smith would have been fun to watch as a Chief. It's not going be fun to watch Alex Smith but he is who we got.
