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 #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 think bringing in Hasselbeck would be hilarious.

He's the other QB besides Matt Cassel that essentially was responsible for burning down the Pioli regime (if the reports are true).

I must have missed this story.

Please elaborate.

Haley wanted to bring Hasselback in as the backup QB but Pioli wouldn't let him.

The story goes that in the 2011 offseason, Todd Haley wanted a veteran to compete with Matt Cassel in camp. Specifically, he wanted Matt Hasselbeck. Pioli refused, and instead saddled him with Palko and Stanzi, basically saying, "Here are your QBs if you want someone better than Cassel."

Cassel got injured, so Haley stuck with Palko stubbornly until he got fired.

Can someone remind me, wasn't Geno set up in the shotgun at the snap?

Ball was on the 10 and Geno was in shotgun. He kept drifting back into the endzone.

If that's the case, his stock can't really rise so there's no reason for him to play.

Or, they realize he has a lot of work to do and his stock could take a hit.

My point is, if that stupid bitch wants to argue that it was ill advised to drift back, I can entertain that argument.

But if the stupid bitch wants to argue that he fiirst took a 7 step drop, and that he then had a lane in front to escape in, that argument has no merit.

First, she clearly has no clue how that played out, and second, there was no lane.

I will say this, regardless.

Geno Smith is not the first, and I highly doubt that he will be the last, to drift back into the EZ and take a safety in that situation.

And the list of QBs I've seen do it in the 50 years of watching the NFL includes some of the all time greats.

I'd rather have Hasselback as the backup. He's a smart player who can help a new QB, and he won't cut in to his playing time like Smith or Vick will. If you're QB goes down a game or 2 he can still win games.

Jason Campbell is a better #2 option IMO. He's still somewhat in his prime, has pretty good tools and, at this point, probably would be happy to be the #2 guy in a system like Reids.

Take a guy like Sorensen in the later rounds to develop.
