I think it's pretty obvious that luck, Wilson, rgIII are the exceptions, not the rule.
There's going to be a learning curve with any player |

Nobody ever thought that Geno was Luck or Kaepernick. I don't know anyone who didn't easily recognize that he was going to need some work and time to develop in this league.

As O.City stated here recently, this is just some fun backlash coming at those who deserve it and then some. No one really felt Alex should have been 1.1 either... no way did anyone (except idiot coaches in SF) think he should be playing in year 1. Still went 1.1 due to a weak draft, and that's still where some KC fans would take Geno in hindsight to this day. Bottom line is, people make excuses for QBs they like... and then turn right around and mock others for doing it for other QBs. So deep down, I think they know that often enough.. "excuses" are actually legitimate reasons for QB struggles. In other words, the same people excusing Geno would turn right back around and mock Alex for sucking as a rookie on an even worse team. Go figure.

If we would have had 1.1 the year before we would be sitting with Luck or possibly RGIII and nobody would be opposed to it, but many many people thought Geno wasn't near that class of player. If there is anything that I can sympathize with it's not taking a QB in the best QB draft in years (the year before). That true fan shit in reference to geno is nothing but bitching and moaning about any young quarterback that looks good and excuses for any that appear to never pan out. It's just an excuse to whine be overly negative all the time. Jesus Christ you guys are nothing but weeping gashes, I swear to God. |

I expected Bill Billichek to have Geno rattled early and until the end, Geno handled the situation extremely well. Love the double standards, though. |

There is no way to spin 15/35, 200 yards, 0 TD, 3 INT, and throwing the pick that lost the game. No way to spin it.
That's ok. He is a rookie. He may become (snark) a super bowl winning QB whom we should have picked at #1 overall instead of the middle of the second round. But he sure as hell has not arrived, and he is not anywhere near Alex Smith yet, as the Gena fluffers would have you believe. |

I remember talking him up as a potential draft pick on the Draft Planet and people gave me shit. "Mountain West guy." "Spread monkey." "Gimmick player." My, how times have changed... |

Smith hasnt shown anything, in the preseason or regular season. He may turn out to be great, but thus far there is no reason to suspect it. |

Right, so a wait and see approach is probably best for an unknown quanitity that has flashed both brillance and Casselness.

I don't know why this keeps coming up. Nobody expected him to be anywhere near where Alex is at this moment.

I have continually heard from Clay and many others that your best chance is to have a 1st round QB. This has been stated over and over and over again. Pretty ironic. At least our QB is a first rounder and former #1 overall. ![]() |
