NFL Draft Geno Smith fans roll call - Page 68

**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 #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

Is he Luck? No.

Can he be RG3? Possibly.

NOBODY in the upcoming draft is going to be like Luck. Nobody.

What I mentioned before is that Geno Smith is an athlete, but RGIII was freakishly athletic. It was rare to have an athlete like RGIII that also has potential to be a terrific pocket passer. Worst case scenario, RGIII is an exceptional running QB. Best case scenario, he becomes a terrific pocket passer with ability to run. He was surefire.

Geno Smith is a pocket passer who has ability to run. And so, his success will be measured by his ability to run a pro offense, read defenses, go through progressions, and he has to be exceptional at those things. He has limited track record of NFL success as a pure pro style pocket passer, other than an efficient pro style year he ran a few years ago.

So again... would I take him #1? Definitely. Is he surefire or elite? No -- there's definitely risk involved.

YOURE RIGHT. HE'S BETTER!!!

Meh, I'm not seeing it. He does appear to be the best of a very Meh class of QBs though.

Did Tribal Warfare teach you everything he knows about QBs?

Tell me all about his bad mechanics, Dave. His arm motion? Release? Form? Those are all bad I take it?

Chief_For_Life58 · 10-05-2012, 04:50 PM

the way I see it is what negatives does he have? I really dont see many. get good coaches around this kid and the skys the limit.

**RealSNR** · 10-05-2012, 04:52 PM

Dave acts like Smith is the Dontari ****ing Poe of QBs

I said he's the best as far as I can tell of this class. WTF do you want hand stands? He totally stares down receivers as bad as Cassel its my number 1 test of a QB making the jump to the pros. Hell Stanzi is better than Smith at that. Croyle never looked off a receiver in his life hence my disliking him.

Most of his big success has been in an aerial offense that's mostly shotgun-oriented and based on "look at the first read." So it takes a leap of faith that he'll be able to read NFL defenses and consistently run a pro style offense, especially with success under center.

That being said, he's got the smarts and work ethic to develop that. He has very good technique and can make any throw in the book. And qualities you like in a quarterback like pocket presence. So you'd expect his skill sets translate well to the NFL and WELL worth the risk. But I don't think we can claim he's flawless.

I think I was spoiled last year with Luck and RGIII. Its a big step down this year. I wish we had gone all in on RGIII.
