Geno Smith fans roll call

[RealSNR]

NEW THREAD HEADER (11/17/12):

The list is gone. We will all be Geno Smith fans when he gets drafted by the Chiefs. For historical documentation's sake, I'll keep the list in a separate post on this thread: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...postcount=3314

WHY GENO SMITH?
If you're wondering if Geno Smith is right for you, check out this brilliant post by Saccopoo:

Next, we have a few GIFs you may be interested in from the Oklahoma game. Insane potential. These are the elite throws that very few QBs can make. What more can I say? Geno Smith can be a franchise QB in the NFL, and the Chiefs need to take a shot on him.

GIF #2:

GIF #3 (My favorite):

HOW DO WE GET HIM HERE?

Glad you asked. I posted this checklist earlier. It probably belongs in the thread header, and will be updated as the Chiefs close out their season and start a new chapter in their franchise story.

Preparing for Geno Smith's Arrival In KC Checklist

1. [X] Lose games and acquire the #1 overall pick
2. [X] Get Pioli and the Patriot Way cronies the **** out
3. [X] Hire new GM/coach

OPTIONAL (but highly recommended):
4. [ ] Re-sign/tag Bowe, who really wants to play in KC with Geno
5. [ ] Re-sign/tag Albert

He better pick up the pace if he wants to be a top 2-3 round pick much less a top 3 pick.

Yep, Geno is who we thought he was before the season started imo.

I wouldn't say that, he has had horrible games, but I am not going to blind myself to his horrific failures the last two weeks.


People that are still 10000% on his bandwagon need to take the emotion out of it and think clearly. If he gets back on track, he will be worth taking a shot at.

His biggest game to prove himself will be against OU. The have a decent defense with speed.

Franchise QB's pull their teams through tough games. Geno appears to be a front-runner QB that sucks ass when things don't go right.




At this moment, I would put him in the 2nd-3rd round range. I know, kill myself, chug antifreeze, etc.

That's what I am saying. That's where he most had him slated at the beginning of the year.

Hell, I didn't even know who he was before this season.


I loved RG the first time I watched him play against KSU. Of course, I watch a lot more Big 12 than......whatever conference WVU came from .

There really isn't much decision making going on. Their offense is a strict timing offense and when that timing gets disrupted it's pretty much a busted play. When that happens, he just chucks it down the field most of the time with the occassional successful check down. Pro defensive backs are going to eat him alive if he keeps doing that. He makes some terrible decisions. Even when he does have time when the blitz is coming he gets happy feet and is more inaccurate than usual. He can't sell a play action pass for his life. He looks like your average high school QB in that area which is not a good sign because he runs alot of them. The play on the field is worse than I thought and his pocket presence is pretty questionable imo. If he's the best this is a terrible year for QBs. In all honesty, he reminds me of Cassel.

Just my ten cents.

Ben Roethlisberger played on a shit team against weak ass competition and STILL had a 4 INT game against Iowa.

Geno's team isn't as bad as that Miami, OH team, but it's similar. The talent level at OL, RB, and ALL across the defense is putrid, and the coach sucks too. And he's playing good Big XII teams, not teams from the MAC/CUSA/whatever the **** division Miami OH is in.

These games mean nothing until Geno Smith starts to get jumpy/nervous when the rush comes at him. Until he starts to churn out INTs with regularity because he's not taking care of the football. Until he starts to show off his inner Cassel. Thus far he's done a good job protecting the football, remaining confident and poised in the pocket, and not letting shit get to him.

That's all I need to see out of these games. If he eventually does break through and beat one of these tough teams (i.e. if Dana Holgersen ever stops chugging semen long enough to properly plan out a game) then his #1 overall pick status will immediately come back.

For me, I don't think he ever lost it. Again, he's the toughest, smartest, and most talented QB of this class.

I want to believe.

Great QB's rise to the challenge and carry their team when things don't go their way. I really hope Geno shows us this against OU.

He did not look poised the last two weeks.

Exactly.

It's not like it's either Geno or Luck. It's Geno or weak armed Matt Barkley. Geno or Tyler Wilson.

The Chiefs have to end up with one of those 3. So, take your pick.

I hate to use THE excuse, but the rest of that team, outside a couple of WRs, is AWFUL.

I watched one of the game film shows on Thursday or Friday and they broke down how to combat Geno Smith.

The big secret - rush FOUR instead of THREE. Yeah, exactly.

Baylor rushed 3 and dropped 8. He killed them. Texas Tech rushed 4 and the o-line couldn't handle it.

Any team that runs a base 4-3 is going to destroy them. So don't expect him to bounce back against OU.

My Geno boner is at half mast. It needs cheering up.......

I said it in the middle of the game thread, during halftime: WVU's biggest problem coming into 2012 on offense was how their line would hold up against Big 12 linemen.

They have their answer now...

I think the main thing that can be taken from all of this is just how awful Texas is on defense.
