"Geno will be just as good as RGIII" - potentially cringeworthy if he ends up more like Jamarcus Russell or Matt Leinart
That's alls I'm sayin'.

As much shit as I get from people like Chiefnj2 about Geno possessing the pocket presence/awareness of Andrew Luck, I'm not wholly wrong about that. With something like that, there's just a difference of opinion.
However much somebody might be overoptimistic about Geno compared to RGIII or Luck, there's just as much underselling of Geno Smith's abilities by people like Chiefnj2, all because they're obsessed with this oversimplified vision of what a real QB should be (the Luck/RGIII archetype).
If there are cringe-worthy statements being made now in the face of Geno's possible struggles at the pro level, there should be just as many cringe-worthy statements that are overly cautious of Geno Smith's real success that he could have in the pros.
And when Geno is winning playoff games with the Chiefs, I will be teabagging those posters in the ****ing face with my giant, hairy ballsack.
