Any other year, and Geno would be a lock to be drafted by us by every prognosticator out there. "Well, I don't think he's as good as Andrew Luck, so I'm not sure I'd waste a first on him. Plus, Russell Wislon was drafted in the third, so there will be value later in the draft."
It's all bullshit. Not good enough for us, but potentially good enough for the next seven teams that draft. Makes zero sense.

No. Absolutely not. There are serious question marks to the experts about him. Can he operate in an nfl offense. He took all of his snaps from the shot gun. Can he read a defense. These are not questions that Andrew Luck had to answer. And everyone knows that Russel Wilson, was drafted in the 3rd round, for one reason and one reason only.
Hes 5'11.
There were no questions about his qb ability, only his height.
The only knock on Barkley, seems to be arm strength, the knocks on Geno Smith, are he has a high reward ceiling, he wows you with accuracy, and arm strength, and mobility, but his question marks are about the smarts of the position.
Some scouts saying he cant read defenses, some saying that he has SLOW EYES, (i had never even heard of that term) Also, this is considered to be a draft with safe players, but no superstars, and yet, in that he cant be considered elite.
Thats not a good sign. Hes not good enough for the chiefs? Who the hell said that? The draft hasnt come, no one knows who they are really eyeing.
But, just the fact that he could be good enough for the Jags, Raiders, eagles, cards, or bills, doesnt mean that he is the end all be all. What it means is that their qb situations are absolutely awful.
The jags have gabbert, who is just awful, the raiders cant get palmer to restructure so if they cut him they have pryor, eek, the eagles, who the hell knows with them, i sure dont, the browns arent drafting a qb, the lions arent, the cards, who knows with them, other than fitz, what do they have that couldnt be an upgrade? and the bills, who have tavaris jackson.
The chiefs have a decent enough qb option this year, that they dont have to reach for a qb if they dont think hes a sure fire franchise qb.
That should be enough for chiefs fans to at least give them a chance to see if their plan works.......
