Geno Smith fans roll call

[RealSNR]

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:

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 #3 (My favorite):

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

I agree. And smokescreen is a better word than what I used. This leads into Eagle fans saying that's the worst thing about Andy. That he feeds you lines and then a week later makes a move that contradicts what he said. In the end I don't care about the press conferences. They can say as little or as much as they want. All I care about are results.

I think you misunderstood what Milkman was saying. He was just using luck as a joke to make the point that the Packers drafted 5 straight defensive players last year, and that it shows an eye on need.

But I hope you are right.

Again...

Clark also came out and said in so many words "I'm just a fan, what do I know? I pay Dorsey and Reid to make these decisions."

You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

I figure I might as well expect the worst. That way I can manage my reaction when they do it. Sucks to have to think that way, but you kind of have to with the Chiefs, and decade after decade of them drafting every position except the most important one. At least this way if I'm surprised it'll be pleasantly. Unless there's another Tyson Jackson on the board.

It'll probably be Joeckel.

Kind of where I'm at.

I think they will take Smith, that is how Reid started in Philly and it's clearly our biggest position of need.

I don't think Geno Smith is worth a #1 pick in general, but I am in favor of staying there and taking him anyway. He is probably the best QB in this draft and if we move down, we'll get stuck with the third or fourth choice. Jacksonville is likely to take a QB or trade with somebody who will since their GM ruled out Tebow. We might be overpaying in terms of a few draft slots, but at least we will have our guy.

They needed a lot of players to fix their defense, and the BPA in every round just happened to be defensive players.

Dorsey and Reid are selling a bill of goods, and everyone is just buying it.

I definately agree that luck plays a part. Hopefully, KC is due for some luck. It has been a while. It could be a smoke screen for sure but, I personally don't think it was. He was pretty specific and sincere in the interview imo.

Also, as far as the timetable goes, that time doesn't start until you get an actual QB. You don't build the team and then drop the QB in. At least, that's a difficult way to do it. They aren't going to just wait around on that position. Dorsey also was very honest about a good team needing a very good QB.



Do you think they are just feeding us lines, or just not explaining that BPA allows, even demands, need as a factor?

I agree with most of this. Another thing I would point out is that BPA means something different at different stages in the draft. There is a point at which the value of positions changes.

Geno Smith is good at playing football.

Yeah but, isn't every player who is drafted?

Son, take a seat on my knee here and let me tell you a story about a man named Trezelle Jenkins...

That was a long time ago. I almost forgot about that guy. LOL


You kind of make my point. The guy was good in college and that's why he was drafted in the first round.

See, that's where you're wrong.

Trezelle Jenkins wasn't even good in college. He was pretty terrible, in fact.

He looked the part of a LT and that's it. He wasn't actually worth a damn at playing football even at Michigan.

I hear you but he did play in 28 games at Michigan. There was a lot of tape. He wasn't bad at Michigan imo.

He was just bigger than everyone.

His technique was terrible, his focus was intermittent at best. He was a guy that just stood around being gigantic.

I guess that makes him moderately effective at the collegiate level, but IIRC, draft guides had him as something along the lines of a 5th round pick (some higher, some even as a 7th rounder). His Michigan pedigree alone would've had him in the 5th round.

If that kid would've played at Middle Tennessee State, he'd have never gone anywhere. He wasn't a good football player, just a gigantic human being.

[Rambozo]

Ok, fair enough, 99.9% of the players that are drafted are "good" in college.
