I hope the kid (Geno) does well for no other reason than I think fans have unrealistic expectations of these kids right out of college. If a kid underperforms fans should direct more of their rage at the GM for either a poor selection, or not sitting the kid underneath an experienced QB for a season or two to get acclimated. |

That's the internet, though. If Alex bombs and Geno goes to the pro bowl, I'm sure guys who wanted to draft him would be all over that, too. Personally, we got who we got, so I don't pay attention to Geno any more. What's the point? Not like anybody in the front office gets a do-over. |

I find it frustrating that CP at large finds it unfathomable that we passed on a QB last year because the front office didn't think any of them were any good and not because it was deemed "too risky."
What doubles my frustration is when, in the same breath, these CP posters will also complain that two second round picks were traded for a QB who is under 30 and has shown the ability to produce at a high level in the playoffs. So... first overall QB - impossible to be too risky. two second round picks - so risky that it is infuriating. Doesn't anyone else find these to be incongruent lines of thinking? |

Considering how bad every rookie QB was, those 2 picks for Smith are looking better and better. |

Some of us were frustrated because we didn't believe the front office even considered any quarterback other than Alex Smith last year. I've even gone so far as to suggest that the decision was made in early January, and that there's even a remote possibility that Reid's hire may have been somehow contingent upon the Smith trade. It's been interesting to me sometimes how much more of a Smith fan Reid seems to be in interviews than does Dorsey.

Yep. And good luck getting free agents to come here with Matt Cassel throwing the ball to them.
