In fact, his ability to look off the safety is superb and has been mentioned by a number of scouting reports and if you watch a whole WVU game, you start to notice the little stuff like this that is in his game. One more reason why I think he'll be a terrific pro. He does the little things that really contribute to the potential for success at the next level already. Some guys have the physical tools, but need additional coaching to get them to be able to play at an NFL level. Geno has these traits already, or at least a lot of them.

As well, he played in an NFL pro style set his sophomore year and was very successful in it. In addition, while the Air Raid is primarily a spread system, most of their receiver routes are pro style routes with multiple live options on the receiving routes.

And the one real benefit that he's receiving from the Air Raid system is that he's throwing the ball a ton. Steve Young commented about the difference between him and Michael Vick, stating that it was the thousands of repetitions in the passing game at BYU that prepared his arm and thought process for the next level.

Geno is as NFL ready as you could hope for from a QB at this level. In addition, he's got the physical tools you want from a high level NFL QB.

I've said it before, but, IMO, he's as good an NFL prospect at the QB position as anyone whose come out the past two decades.

IMO. I think that what is going on is that the bar has been raised by Andrew Luck & RGIII. Tannehill can probly be included now and other rookie QBs or young QBs that are making waves in the NFL. The guys that are comming out are being scruitinized for every little detale of their game. It seems like they have to play flawless football to get the accolades & deamed the next great QB for the draft. They are still making tremendous plays for their teams but loseing or getting blown out by K state doesn't help Geno Smith any. He still showed what he is capable with the ball. I think the scruitiny is there for the expectations that have been placed at a higher level than in years past. Andrew Luck & RGIII set the bar for the new genaration of QBs.
