How about having a Trent Green without all those peski INTs? That is what Geno Smith can bring to the table. He can put up TDs in bunches during a game and he doesn't throw a bunch of INTs. He had something like 44 TDs and only 6 INTs this year.

Why wouldn't we want a QB who gives us the best chance of winning by scoring a lot of TOUCHDOWNS?

Too risky. He's not Luck.

Your right we should take a TE to replace our FHOF Tony Gonzalez.

I was thinking trade down so we can take a TE AND Guard

His stats mean next to nothing. Seth Doege has virtually the same stats. (INTs being the difference - which is truthfully a big difference, but you get the point).

The argument for Geno is the eyeball test. You watch the kid play, and he just has patience, vision, touch, accuracy. I LOVE how he never tucks the ball and runs unless it is absolutely the last option for positive yards.

He actually reminds me more of Roethlesberger in that regard - extending plays and extending plays and then finding an open receiver. Beautiful.

Yes. I have actually made that comparisment before on here. I brought up the difference between Trent Green was about the INTs & lack there of that Geno Smith has.

I don't want Smith to be compared to Big Ben, nor do I want him to ever try to play like Big Ben.

I see where you're coming from in terms of skill set. But Geno has to has to has to learn to become a pocket passer that only extends plays as a last resort. He can't try to be Big Ben.

There is no comparison between Geno and Roethlisberger.

Ben is big, strong, ox of a QB that stands in the pocket and shrugs off would be sacks to extend plays.

Geno is a pocket glider that breaks containment when necessary, and extends plays outside the pocket to make plays in the passing game.

I agree with you. The comparison is the ability to extend plays. The maner in wich they do that is different. I agree with your assesment into comparing Geno Smith with Aarron Rodgers. I like that a lot.

Agreed. I don't want Geno to play like Big Ben because few players can take the kind of abuse Big Ben takes, and Big Ben is a rare QB who has made a living out of holding the ball too long.

I do NOT want Geno to be groomed to extend plays. I want him to learn to make quick reads, and given his work ethic, I think he can do that. The last thing we want to do is to let Geno feel comfortable with holding on to the ball too long because he knows he can get away with it.
