Geno Smith fans roll call
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: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...postcount=5388 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:
Spoiler!
GIF #2:
Spoiler!
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 Pioli 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 Last edited by RealSNR; 01-04-2013 at 12:32 PM.. |

FWIW,
Daniel Jeremiah attended the Manning Academy last summer and came away with the opinion that Bray was the best prospect of the bunch. He says good things about the other QB's also (including Barkley and Smith). http://www.yahoosportsradio.com/unca...academy-29294/

Oh yeah, Peyton Manning's 89 TD, 33 INT and 11,000 yards meant nothing!

Eli Manning threw for 10,000 yards and 81 TD in college, but that was not an indicator of his future success!!!!
Ben Roethlisberger's 10,829 yards and 84 TD? WORTHLESS! Andrew Luck's 9,430 yards and 82 TD? Meh.

I'm not saying college stats are the be-all end-all of scouting. Obviously Kliff Kingsbury was a joke of an NFL QB despite huge college stats.
But to say they mean nothing is silly. You take Geno's stats and then watch him play and watch him make NFL throws...and you have a pretty damn good prospect. And the fact his numbers only got better and better...and he never regressed....also says a lot.

Agree completely, and as I said, it's 1A and 1B for me.

I agree. Barkley has not helped himself this season.
I think Geno Smith or Tyler Wilson would be the two I think. |

I think some people are clouded by Geno's "wow" throws in college.
There are some serious problems that Geno has IMO. -He locks onto his 1st read ALL THE TIME. Almost 90% of the time. That is a huge problem. That's not going to work at all in the NFL. Watch tape of him. It's as if he doesn't notice any other receiver but his first read a lot of the time. His eyes are on his 1st read. Think NFL CB's won't notice that? -He sits in the pocket too long looking for the right play. This goes back to the first point. You can't sit in the pocket for 5 or 6 seconds consistently in the NFL. You'll get sacked. -He has trouble reading complex defenses. What happens when DC's in the NFL throw mixed coverages/blitzes at him? Will he know what audible to use to counteract what the defense throws at him? Against K State, Texas Tech and TCU he got really confused and struggled mightily against their mixed defenses. He doesn't understand the X's and O's as well as you would like and he's in the shotgun which gives him more space to see the field. What happens when he's in a passing play under center in the NFL and LB's throw mixed blitzes at him? The NFL is a chess game. Understanding how to react is a vital part of being an NFL QB. On top of that, he's been in the spread for two years. Yes he did well in his sophomore year, but they still used the shotgun in a lot of situations to maximize his talent. Spread QB's rarely translate well to the NFL. People jumped on the Geno bandwagon when he had 24 TD's and 0 INT's. Okay. Who did he play? Marshall-101st ranked defense out of 120 James Madison-Should they even be considered a defense? Baylor-119th ranked defense out of 120 Texas-75th ranked defense out of 120 21 of those 24 TD's came against shitty college defenses. |
