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 #1:

GIF #2:

GIF #3 (My favorite):

Spoiler!

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'm just not ready to say he's a better prospect than RG3 was right now without the Senior Bowl or combine. So much can happen in that time frame.

RG3 had the best combine I've ever seen from a physical and mental standpoint, so forgive me for thinking that right now Geno isn't as good in those areas since he has no definitive proof with NFL GM's/HC's.

How did what RGIII did at the combine, from a physical standpoint, have anything to do with how good of a QB he would be? He didn't throw at the combine I don't believe.


And how do you know what he was like mentally?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I can remember Sacc's first mock for 2013 and the QB was either Barkley or Wilson until it was edited a couple weeks later.

Actually, it was Lance Jones as I had us picking in the early 20's and stated that I felt that Geno Smith would already be long gone by then.

Fortunately, the Chiefs have sucked to the point where they realistically hold their own destiny in their hands with potentially the first overall pick.

And that was Geno Smith from Alabama. I remembered that Geno Smith, WVU, was a Parade All-American (probably the single biggest reason I still get the newspaper) and pulled up pics of Geno for whatever reason and just assumed that it was he in that Army AA uni picture. My bad.

But as Reaper pointed out, I was full on Geno at the start of the season and I've pushed the ****ing pedal through the floorboard at this point.

Exactly.

The mocks they are putting our right now is where they think these players SHOULD go.

As teams start talking about the draft, the mocks start changing and guys like Kiper and McShay are busy updating their boards to reflect where they think these players WILL go.

3 tds against the 8th ranked pass defense in the country....making jaw dropping throws...multiple HOLY SHIT throws (the single best pass in college all year, I'd bet, from his endzone - under pressure - into quadruple coverage for a 30 yard gain)...throws that take big brass balls to make

but his shitty defense gives up a td with 23 secs left and they lose 50-49 and the narrative is set...

and enter the crying true fans...

THIS x eleventytrillion.

i dont know how many idiots i have argued with IRL about geno that have NEVER seen him play , but i tell them all exactly what you typed here.

i think that idiot domer comes by my shop about once a week to talk football and i told him earlier exactly this...

oh and that he was an idiot too.

That's why Gosselin's multiple mocks are interesting. The first, IIRC, is the rankings without team considerations, etc.

I guess I don't understand what I'm missing and why no one seems to give Smith credit:

Geno Smith
11,461 yds
67.4% completion
96 TD / 21 INT

Robert Griffin III
10,071 yds
66.1% completion
78 TD / 17 INT

Maybe. Still, you weren't the first to drink the Geno kool-aid.

What I meant to convey back howevermany posts ago was that Sacc was the first person I could remember to be a determined advocate that the Chiefs draft him.

At the same time, thank you for the link to SNR's post. That was the kind of early strong opinion that I was hoping you'd provide.

The stats just spell it out so perfectly. I honestly just don't understand how someone could argue against drafting a QB, especially for this organization. And that QB should easily, easily be Geno.

I know SNR was on it early as well and like I said, I have really liked Smith since his sophomore year.

I think CE posted that watching the Orange Bowl where Geno tore it up. It was his game against LSU of his junior year that really cemented it for me. There was no less than 5 first round NFL picks on that defense and he just kept going for broke and making plays with guys hanging on him all game long.

What he did against Clemson in the Orange Bowl and this season was simply icing on the cake. (Though, that OU game is, as it's been stated, remarkable and does show his potential. Unbelievable performance. If you don't think that this guy can't throw a team on his back and do everything he can to get that win after watching that game then I don't what to tell you. Be happy supporting the pick of Joeckel or Te'o then. I don't know what else to say.)

by the time the draft rolls around Geno Smith will be top 5 and a couple other QB's will probably be in the top 10
