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.. |

Geno reacts well to pressure and gets the ball out. He's going to be fine. He was only sacked 17 times.

SPREAD QBS RARELY TRANSLATE TO THE NFL BROS

In most situations, however, he reads the defense and goes through progressions just fine. This is something I noted a couple of weeks ago, and reinforced by a scouting report that was posted in this thread, or the McShay mock draft thread. This assertion that he doesn't go through progressions is pure, unmitigated bull.

Why don't you give Geno a chance to wow some idiots at the combine then?
Just dismissing Geno because he played in the spread is stupid. The dude is extremely, extremely intelligent, a perfectionist since he was a kid, and that probably translates to football.

Again, just depends if he decides to get serious about his job which part of the interview process

I'm not worried about Geno's ability to scramble, throw all the needed throws and make plays. It's his technique and understanding of the game that has me worried. |

I like Geno. I think he has a ton of potential, but I want to see him prove his football IQ and technique at the combine before I go in full out "draft Geno" mode. The report from Schefter was that college scouts aren't "completely wowed" by Geno. This is probably because of what I'm stating. His game tape shows flaws that he needs to fix in Indy. |

Against the most complex and athletic defense he played all year, OU, he had a great game.
He consistently had/has to put up 50 points. If his defense gets 1 stop against OU and TCU, we aren't talking about all this. |

All of those things are more important than his arm/accuracy. If he passed all those tests we'll never see, I'd have no problem drafting him. I'd still prefer Geno Smith though. |

You need to quit pulling shit out of your ass. Geno Smith diagnoses a defense AT the line and adjusts his progressions according to what he sees. He's a film room junkie and he has arguably the best technique in this class. His deep ball is as accurate as RGIII and he spins the ball at a ridiculous RPM. You CLEARLY have NO IDEA what you are talking about if you are claiming that his technique and understanding of the game are the issue here.

If my first two reads were Miles Austin and Stedman Bailey I'd probably tend to look their way too.
