NFL Draft Geno Smith fans roll call - Page 597

SNR · 11:32 AM

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 ***** 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

All these guys are spewing as if the new CBA doesn't exist.

"Taking a guy #1 who's not slotted there is a big risk."

"You can't afford to miss with a QB who ends up being a bust or it sets you back 5 years."

"There just isn't a QB out there like Luck and RG3 that you can say is a lock to be a franchise QB, so you should take the safe pick in the LT or DT or DE."

Bullshit.

A contract for Geno Smith or Tyler Wilson at #1 will cost the Chiefs 1/3 of what Matt Cassel's contract has cost us. Now Cassel? THAT's a QB who set us back 5 years. Literally.

The new CBA makes a high risk/high reward pick at a position of value an easy call. Let's say RG3 never plays again (which I don't believe.) Was he worth $21 million to the Redskins already? Ticket sales, merchandise, publicity, etc? Hell yes. And they've got him locked down for 3 more years.

These "gurus" need to wake up and smell the coffee.

I just hope Andy Reid and John Dorsey aren't as ****ing stupid as the webscouts and fans.

Geno is a film room junkie that loves the game.

I'll take a guy like Geno who has passion versus a guy like Stafford/Cutler who has the ultimate cannon arm, but doesn't give a shit and would rather suck down a keg on Saturday versus studying game tape.

Reasons I cited (in addition to his Rex Grossman-esque love of his arm strength and his struggles with touch passes) for NOT going all-in on Stafford a few years ago.

I would rather have Geno day 1 next year than Stafford.

Doesn't he know that Tannehill was graded out in the second round? It's ok to reach a little on QB...

So the guy that was on WHB this morning was Tony Paulino.

Jake, Nate, and Steven all just said that if Geno is good enough to go 5-15, you take him at #1.

Nice to hear some sanity on the radio.

MagicHef · 01-10-2013, 09:02 AM

If you guys don't take a QB at #1, I will laugh for days.

I'll make sure that you're laughing on Orangemane because you'll be banned here.

I'm a bit concerned about Geno's decision to pass on the senior bowl. I'm a Geno Smith fan, but I'd like to see a confident guy that wants to show off his skills in a game against the top college competition, with an offense that is unfamiliar to him. I don't like this decision by him at all.

While I would have liked to have seen him play too, it really doesn't bother me in the least that he passed on playing. I have seen him play several games already, and he has shown me enough to take with our first pick.

It's all about the workouts for Geno now.

The best QB prospects typically don't (though usually the best QB prospects are coming out early and aren't eligible). Only QBs whose agents are being told they NEED to play usually end up playing.

Matt Ryan and Rg3 both skipped it. I don't think it's surprising at all that Geno and Matt Barkley are skipping it.

I remember a certain highly touted QB that went to the combine and threw to show everybody he wasn't scared to compete and what he can do. That young man was Mark Sanchez.

RG3 didn't skip it. He wasn't eligible since he was a junior. But if he had been a senior I doubt he would have played

saphojunkie · 01-10-2013, 09:59 AM

I am going to emotionally prepare for the possibility that Reid grades one of the Tylers or Barkley higher than Geno.

But man...I'm really hoping it's Geno.
