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

I've been told not to bitch unless you have a solution and so far NOBODY has come into this Geno thread with a valuable concept of an alternative that would benefit the chiefs more than drafting Geno Smith. Sure, I've seen people say, "There are no QB's worth a #1 pick this year" but I've still yet to hear WHY.

The Chiefs #1 need is a QB. The Chiefs should hold the #1 pick. Therefor, it should be spent on the highest need available. Geno Smith is the top prospect available, and in many's eye's just as good as of prospect as RG3 was coming out last year.

Many here have watched Geno Smith for 3 years and understand using the eye test that he could have what it takes to be ELITE, not just good.

I'd like to hear some REAL evidence and arguements as to WHY THE CHIEFS should draft someone other than Geno Smith at #1.
PS: fuck your trade down scenario, because the only people trading up are going to be Jumping for Geno.

People can say whatever they want about his mechanics or his footwork or how he looks quirky to them in some intangible way, but the reality is that he's really good at knowing where to go with the ball and how best to get it there. There's a reason he completed 70+% of his passes and had 40 TD against 6 INTs, and it's not because of competition. The guy is really good. He had the kind of season people would be talking about as historic if only West Virginia had fielded a defense that could actually stop anybody.

It's like people trying to use the Oklahoma game against him. The guy throws for 320 yards, has 4 TD against 2 picks against one of the highest ranked passing defenses in the country, but he lost 50-49. So he must suck.

People talk about the TCU game as a bad one, too. I mean yeah, the guy only had 260 yards passing, 3 TD and 1 INT and they lost 39-38 in double overtime. Awful.

Defense makes one stop in either of those games, they're an 8-4 team, ranked somewhere in the top-25. Make a stop in both those games and he's in the Heisman discussion at 9-3, with the same exact stats that he has on a 7-5 team.

You can point to Kansas State, he turned the ball over in that one (it was one of TWO 2-int games he's had in the past two seasons - and only the third game in 3 seasons as a starter where he had more INTs than TDs.), and you can point to Texas Tech (although I would argue against that one). But at the end of the day, the problems with WVU were not Geno Smith. He did his part.

Let me reiterate something: in three seasons as a starter he had three games where he threw more picks than scores. Three. And this is a guy regularly throwing 30+ times a game. This isn't Greg freaking McElroy riding the best defense in college football. This is a guy that's excelled playing in both a pro-style offense (in 2010) and a spread offense (2011-12), a guy who's been asked to be the focal point and done it at a high level for three years.

Nice...thank you. Once again...I am NOT saying that we shouldn't draft him, first...just entertaining other possibilities!!

And I'm saying there shouldn't even be any other possibilities at this point. Not if we're picking #1. Or if we're picking #2 and he's still on the board.

People are afraid of drafting a quarterback here. I didn't use to believe that but I've finally come to accept it as fact. When we're picking in the 20s, people say we're too low to do it. When we're picking in the single digits, people say there isn't one, or that we should trade out.

NO!

We ****ed up in 2009. And it doesn't have anything to do with Mark Sanchez. That guy should never have been a top-5 pick. But we stayed put instead of moving up for Stafford. We ****ed up in 2008. Matt Ryan was on the board at 3, and we didn't move up from 5.

Well, here we are folks. We're going to be in blue chip territory now, and there's a blue chip quarterback there. It's time to stop making excuses, it's time to stop looking for every possible reason not to do it, it's time to stop being afraid and just get the job done. And if it doesn't work, you try again. And you keep trying, until you get there.

We've done it with 5 techs. How about we do it with the most important position in sports.

So he got better under pressure and performed extremely well when the game was on the line.

You just described about 80% of the famed "4th quarter comebacks" in football history.

Same with this years game @ Texas after coming off the 10109209 TD game.

I really didn't think he would be able to live up to that pressure and he did.


Texas Tech game I didn't get to watch. =/

I do see this point! But I also see Domer's point! I admit, I stand in the shadow of most of you when it comes to the draft.....AND IF we get Smith, I hope you and PGM is correct!! I will put it in my sig....then!

[keg in kc]

Domer doesn't have a point. Anybody talking about drafting Manti Te'o at #1 is insane, whether Geno Smith is part of the discussion or not.
