NFL Draft Geno Smith fans roll call - Page 245

**RealSNR** · 12:32 PM

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 #1:

Spoiler!

GIF #2:

Spoiler!

GIF #3 (My favorite):

Spoiler!

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

Player comparisons are stupid. Either the player stands on his own merits or doesn't.

Bewbies · 11-23-2012, 08:34 PM

Geno Smith reminds me of the hall of fame Chiefs QB that college prospects are compared to in 2030.

Slightly underthrown but still a pretty ball.

Considering the wind he was dealing with, that wasn't bad at all. He just amazes me even more that he can be so accurate with difficult conditions.

Geno Beam!

There is absolutely no merit to the Cunningham comparisons. Dude was way, way, way more athletic in his prime than Smith ever dreamed.

Saccopoo · 11-23-2012, 09:35 PM

For the love of...are we still trying to find a black NFL quarterback that compares to Geno? JFC...

Geno Smith is Geno Smith.

And Bewbies is absolutely correct.

I can see RG3 comparing to Randall, but RG3 is more accurate. Trying to compare Geno to Randall has absolutely no merit whatsoever.

Like you said, Randall was far more athletic.

I played in the same conference as Randall used to (and a few other NFL QBs did, but we were many years apart) and going through SBs locker room and weight room for the first time was sick because most of the track and field records were still his and were lined up along the top trim of the room. The guy was a sick athlete from another planet.

I know he is black and that's not why I make the comparison, but the closest thing I saw to Geno was Donovan McNabb. I honestly think Geno is a better version of him in many ways.

I can see some similarities there, but McNabb was a ****ing tank, physically, so he hung in the pocket in many ways like a Big Ben. Also, Donovan was/is dumb as ****, and Geno seems to display far more football intelligence.

My guess is that people comparing Smith to Cunningham only knew the latter from his year in MN, when he was a shell of his former athletic self.

I think you're right. My memories of Randall was what an insane arm the guy had. Could throw a 60 yard pass on a rope on the run. You wonder how he would have done if forced to be a pocket passer earlier in his career. He threw an unbelievable ball.

Chris Meck · 11-24-2012, 02:26 AM

Cunningham's biggest problem was that weird, SLOOOOOW release. I mean, he could chuck that ****er downfield and jumpball it to Randy Moss, but holy smokes, it was like he was Indiana Jones with the whip to get rid of it. His arm would come WAY back and then whip forward.

Saccopoo · 11-24-2012, 03:59 AM

The OP asks "WHY GENO?"

I'll tell you why:

Because, in the 2012 season, with one of the worst defenses in college football forcing him to play behind once he got into conference play against a lot of Top 25 teams (as well as a porous offensive line), he put up these numbers (with one game to go against the Jayhawks, which might see him return to the Baylor game like numbers):

TD's: 35
INT's: 5
Comp: 70.1%
Rating: 159.3
Sacks: 15

You know which QB those stats compare to on the college level in recent memory?

Andrew Luck. With half the interceptions.

And Luck had a much better team around him last year than Smith had around him this season. Stanford had four guys taken in the first 42 picks of the draft last year, with two being offensive line. Geno has a horrible O-line and a worse defense and still put up nearly identical numbers to Luck last season.

Yeah, gimme Geno. Right here, right now.

If we have the #1 pick, and he isnt chosen, I might just take a break from football, or the chiefs atleast. Itd be too painful to see him excell somewhere else after all this and finally having a #1 and being in the perfect position with no one to stop us and then NOT to take him.

If that weren't embarrassing enough, if we actually did go to the tape to see if what BlackBob says is true, we would see that it's outright FALSE. It's like he's playing poker with us, but puts on a really, really terrible bluff face while he's holding his cards in such a way that everybody can see exactly what he has.

After I heard the tight window thing, I watched the tap again and it is true. He is very reluctant to pull the trigger.
