The comparison is beyond asinine.
However, thrown into a hostile environment (poor coaching, poor support system, etc) is a recipe for disaster with most rookies regardless of position. Incidentally, that's why Geno makes a lot of sense at 1.1 to me, even with Alex Smith.
You'd be able to provide him with a solid support system (solid but not elite OL, great running game, solid coaches) and would ensure that he'd either get a year at least to sit or beat out Alex in TC.
