And we do know that he ultimately lost it. Besides, being neck and neck with Mark Sanchez shouldn't inspire much confidence. Would Ryan Tannehill have been neck and neck with Sanchez? I very much doubt it. Tannehill is a fair starting point for what you should expect in a first round QB.
Geno would've been a bad 1.1. SNR and I were the first two on Geno (back in the 2011 college season) and so I ignored the red flags as the 2012 college season progressed. Then his interviews went like shit as well. He just wasn't a first overall talent when all was said and done. And had we taken him at 2.2. instead of trading it for Smith, we probably don't have Bray. I'm also certain we'd have had a far worse football team in 2013 on account of that choice.
It's time to stop acting like Geno was Luck. He wasn't. He's just another good young developmental QB but he doesn't have appreciably more upside than the guy that replaced him in that role. So at this point it makes a lot more sense to embrace the competent, qualified QB we did bring in, enjoy some good football and trust that the combination of those factors will serve to help Bray develop in his own right.

I'm not going to embrace Alex Smith not now or anytime soon. I never thought Geno Smith was another Luck that is for sure. His stock drop at an alarming rate too for his attitude in much part and for not going to the senior bowl didn't do him any favors. I understand why teams passed on Geno Smith.
For me it didn't have to be stuck on Geno Smith, I wanted look at next years draft and be set up to take the best one that class has to offer too but giving up a second and possible second next year for Alex Smith kind of puts that out of whack.
If I knew more about what the Bills saw in their QB pick EJ Manuel maybe I'd would have been happy with him?
