I'm so glad that 100 posts is the threshold for starting threads.

This will not end well.

You'd think it would, if you were a n00b. But the rest of us know better.

I love that they don't pull any punches and waste our time with rookie QBs who bust out of the league.

well time will tell but, as you know, my bet is against Geno busting anything except maybe his bank account

I'll bite because I'm bored. Why exactly do you feel Geno won't be productive?

poor footwork, inconsistent accuracy with high throws, good speed but not a RG3 type guy, not going to kill other teams running

above all else, not polished and not ready, putting him on a rebuilding team and throwing him at the wolves is not a recipe for success

Why do you think he has poor footwork?

What are you basing claims of inconsistency on?

Because I don't think any of that was your own analysis.

Footwork is an issue, albeit one that can be corrected. However, his footwork in regards to sliding and resetting within the pocket is elite.

The inconsistent accuracy with "high" (I assume you meant deep) throws can be attributed to a few factors but are primarily due to footwork.

The speed factor isn't a relevant one, as it isn't exceptionally relevant to his style of play and is more of a bonus. He's a pure pocket QB that has solid but not elite speed, ala Aaron Rodgers.

As for the last part, nearly all Qbs are ready to start for teams. I've made the Andy Dalton post so much, it kills me to type it but consider this.

Andy Dalton, who has less tools than Geno and played at TCU, was able to start immediately for a team that was considered by most to be absolutely horrific. He has been able to make the playoffs his first 2 years in the AFCN, which his first year had three post season participants (one made the AFCG and this year, won a SB). Additionally, Dalton's time in the NFL has been spent with an OC from the Arena League.

To think that Geno couldn't have success in the AFCW with the Chiefs staff and the way QBs are ready to play in this league immediately, there is no reason to think that Geno would be "thrown to the wolves". In fact, there's plenty of reasons to think that him starting this year would be extremely beneficial in multiple regards.
