Chiefs clear roster spot for Geno Smith - our starting QB is gone.
The Brady Quinn era has ended:
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/quinn-s...3094--nfl.html Quinn in as Seahawks' backup QB Brady Quinn wins ... the backup quarterback job with the Seattle Seahawks. After the Seahawks brought in Quinn, Matt Leinart and Tyler Thigpen for tryouts on Monday, the team decided to go with Quinn, the team announced Tuesday. No contract details were announced. The backup quarterback opening was created last week with the Seahawks dealt Matt Flynn to the Oakland Raiders. Flynn lost a battle in training camp last year with rookie Russell Wilson for Seattle's starting job. Quinn took over as the Kansas City Chiefs' starter last year when Matt Cassel was injured. In eight games as the starter, Quinn threw two touchdown passes and eight interceptions. The former first-round pick from Notre Dame also spent time with the Cleveland Browns, starting 12 games in three years, and the Denver Broncos, where he never played in two seasons. Leinart was thought to have a chance to land the Seattle job despite lackluster play the past few seasons while bouncing between Arizona, Houston and Oakland. He played in college at USC for current Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. Thigpen, meanwhile, possesses running ability similar to Wilson that would have worked well on the Seahawks' read-option plays. But he had started only one NFL game the past five seasons, with Miami in 2010. |

Tell me how Geno compares to Akili...Akili was a 55% passer in college. I'll give you the first comparison to get you started. 1) they are both black. 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) |

You're only hearing shit you are making up in your own head because nobody has ever said Geno is a bad QB. Every evaluation I've seen had Geno above a 90.

Is it true that one of them was primarily a throwing QB and the other was primarily a running QB? Did one of them take the overwhelming majority of snaps from under center and the other from the shotgun? Was one of them a big, strong guy while the other one was short and slight? One was athletic, the other was a statue? And do you have an answer for my previous question?

Y'mean like I didn't know a thing about Tyler Wilson, either?
These first round grades tabbed on meh players like Fales are never accurate and shouldn't be trusted in the slightest until people have seen them play the final season in college. And that goes ESPECIALLY for a guy who plays for a small(ish) school. I've seen Fales play one or two games. He might be good. He might not. I have serious doubts that he'll be as good of a pro prospect as Geno. VERY serious doubts. We'll see. Is that good enough for you? |

All-in-all, it seems like Couch is probably a better comparison, but it's not perfect. And unlike what Saccapoo and BossChief suggest, Geno Smith isn't completely dissimilar to Akili Smith.

That fat third world kid who obsesses over vloggers.
I think his name is Sorter? Or Manuel?
