If they take Geno and in 3 years he is failed out of the league, I can live with that because they took the best chance they could at moving this franchise forward. If they take a dickwad re-tread like Alex Smith and don't win, that is a much greater mistake and would piss me off way more.
We have done the latter for 20 ****ing years with no results! How can this reeruned fan base not be ecstatic to take a QB #1?

I think this is a great point. You can't just use hindsight as a way to justify taking a QB. There is one good reason to take Geno Smith:
Drafting the best QB in the class with your highest pick is your best hope for saving the franchise. It isn't your only hope. But it is your best hope. Once you identify that truth, there is little to debate.
It was nice to hear Matt Williamson saying that there's no such thing as overdrafting your QB. If he's worth #32, then he's worth #1. Period.
