I make my opinion by what i see. There are many things i like about geno and many things i don't like, the things i don't like are red flags. I and alot of the rest of the nation don't see him as the #1 QB in this draft, i see 3 QB's that have the potential to be though. None has stood up and taken that spot yet.

Geno has alot of good things going for him, His got good accuracy, he's smart with the ball when he throws it, he's got good size, and above average arm strength.

my issues with him though are i'm not sure just how accurate he is as 80% of his throws are high percentage throws that his Allpro receivers take to the house. He generally has 1 read and won't come off that read unless the pocket breaks down. He needs to work on his footwork a little bit. Now all those i believe can be fixed.
The issues that raise the red flags to me is the situational awareness and his "thug" mentality. I see alot of tape on geno and he doesn't feel pressure very well until it's right on him, now i'm not sure if he just is overconfident in his abilities but often times he waits till the pressure is actually to him. Good example is the texas game, he had a few strip sacks from okafor from his right side where he just either didn't feel the pressure or he just got cocky and waited to long. Similar to his first safety in the bowl game, where it seemed he was overconfident and felt he could just sidestep 2 free rushers.

Mentality we come back to times he's stuggled, He's thrown multiple fits, throwing cups, cussing and whining. KState game was good evidence, now maturity may help with that once he gets to the pro's and gets a real coach in his face. But the texas game was a big no no. A heckling fan was able to stir him up enough he actually went out of his way multiple times to jaw with fans and talk shit, then throw a blood sign.. That pretty much took me off his bandwagon completely.

Now if we do take him... Then i'm all in i'll root and cheer for him as a chief, does he have my vote? no, but i don't make the calls and i don't sit him down and talk to him.
