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.

Well yeah. That doesn't mean that they were wrong to not reach for Geno or Sanchex back in'09.

Alex Smith was the one he used a draft pick on this year.

KC fans often talk about emulating certain teams like the Ravens, Pitt and NYG.
Well, Nassib and Jones were good enough for two of those teams to take in the 4th (not including Philly taking Barkley) but none of those guys were good enough for KC?

And the irony is, that for as much as people on here are crushing the chiefs for not drafting a qb, he very well could end up being the VERY BEST QB FROM THIS CLASS. He has the talent. He has to put the work in, but the talent, is there, and the support that he is going to need to get there is here. That being two qbs who understand the qb position in Daniel, and Smith, the gurus in Chilly, Andy, and Pederson. I would take Bray in that situation over any other qb that was drafted.....Hes in the best predicament.

And those teams also have MUCH better starting QB's than the Chiefs.

Do you think that any of those will ever be starting qbs in the league? Cause truth be told, they could all be career back ups.

I'll bet my left nut that at least one of the QB's in the draft has a better pro career than Smiff though. |

Different players could have succeeded or failed in different situations. For instance: If Aaron Rodgers got drafted by a shit organization like the Raiders or Dolphins instead of getting to sit and learn Brett Favre, it's impossible to know how that situation would've ended up. Rodgers could've been stuck in a bad situation with shitty surrounding talent, and busted bigtime. If Mark Sanchez was drafted by the Chiefs where there is less media pressure, less expectations, etc... he could've possibly been a much better QB. We will never know. The point of all of this is: Other teams TRY the latest working model, and that is drafting and developing your franchise QB. The Chiefs continue to trade for other teams QB's that they are willing to part with. That said, I won't be a hypocrite and say that it will NEVER work, because like I mentioned above... different situations can call for different outcomes. However; the chiefs are going against the trends and it's not even close to working... when are they going to finally do what championship teams do? |
