Why Geno Smith fell in the draft
I've seen a couple other posts about this... but this probably deserves it's own thread considering how many hours we've wasted arguing about the guy. This is the first article I've seen theorizing why Geno fell in the draft. Time will tell whether it's accurate.

Without a doubt. If your goal is a superbowl I'd rather gamble on a QB than draft a RT. Doesn't have to be Geno. Could be EJ, Barkley, Geno... etc.
Let's look at it like this. Do you think in 3 years there will be a QB from this class that you would trade Eric Fisher for? |

I want us to get a QB to be our QBoTF but there just weren't any this offseason. Bray like most of the other QBs that are not drafted in the first have a .00001% of ever winning a SB. (amounting to anything) No that doesn't mean that you just draft on in the first to have one from the first either. There are a lot around here that want to do that as well. I am going to have hope that a coach, Andy Reid, that has a reputation of drafting QBs will do so when there is one available that is of good quality.

There wasn't a good one to draft. They did the best thing by not tying us to a QB that is not good. They were trying. Just not trying to please "the fans".

I don't understand how other people cant figure this out. I really can't. Next comment will be we have passed up QB's for 30 years because they cant distinguish the fact that Reid and Dorsey have nothing to do with that. |

Geno is clearly the best QB in the draft, but his douche baggery dropped his value to 2nd round instead of first round. And the Jets are a poorly run franchise right now, so the fact that he was taken 39th doesn't say shit to me. The Jets are stupid in general, so them taking Geno says nothing about Genos value. I'm curious how much further he would of dropped if The Jets passed.

Meh. I don't care anymore. Not a ****ing thing we can do about it now. I've moved on, and I suggest everyone else (for their sanity's sake) do the same.

No I don't think any of these QBs will be more than backups or teasers that never do anything more than flash.

I don't look at it as a fall
Geno was inappropriately hyped and put in top 10 Reality set in at draft time and Geno took his rightful spot at 39 I agree with the comment that Chiefs did not want a QB. That was clear. So, even if Geno was at 1.1 someone would have paid the Chiefs a gold mine to take the pick.

NO! You have no idea that there "wasn't a good one to draft". Once the 2015 season is over than you MIGHT be able to say "There wasn't a good QB in the 2013 class".

Carl Peterson gave up a 1st for a guy that took us to the AFC title game and a 1st for a guy that QB'd one of the elite offenses in the NFL for 3-4 years. Dorsey gave up a 1st for a guy with 3-300 yard passing games in 80 career games. The addressing of the QB position has been horrible. |
