And yes, there will be some on here that will shit ass bricks if it isn't Geno.

But for the most part, I think the majority feel that Wilson, Smith, and Barkley would all be good picks.


Or atleast thats how I feel.

I would hope so. I think there are going to end up being really good QBs from this class. I just don't know which 2 or 3 will really pan out. There's no slam dunk for me. Each has a red flag.

Yeah they do.

I will say that I think alot of the Red Flags from Geno have more to do with his defense and some things that weren't necessarily his fault, but he's the QB, that's inevitably on him.

Same with Barkley. He was considered a really high pick last year, yet doesn't have the same skillset? I think he would fit really well in a Reid system.

Wilson had a shit ton of off field stuff go on in Fayettville this year, that absolutely weren't his fault and the attitude stuff, IMO, is a little out of proportion.

So yeah, there isn't a slam dunk ala Luck, but thats hardly the case and great QB's get drafted alot.

There is a guy in there, and for the first time in a while, I think the Chiefs staff are competent and rather good at id'ing said guy.

I just can't take anyone seriously that's going to tell me Geno suffered because of his defense.

The team suffered because of his defense. If anything, his stats were inflated some because they threw so much to keep up.

If a bad defense impacts a QB in that way, then I would say his psyche has an issue.

But I don't put one ounce of stock in the defense mentally tarnished Geno.

I'm not really talking about mentality. More that people bash him for not getting leads or pulling his team from behind, when he did get them a lead late in the fourth quarter against TCU and OU.

If those leads hang up, he gets credit for beating a top 7 defense vs the pass and a defense that is constantly one of the better ones in college football.

The defense didn't make him play worse.

But he's getting some of the blame the defense should be getting.

Prime example - Geno takes the blame for ALL FIVE of the 5 losses down the stretch.

Anybody that watched the OU game saw him WIN that game with the go-ahead score, only to watch the defense go Greg Robinson and lose the game.

That's a damn tall order. Are you sure it was THAT bad?

While this IS supposed to be a defensive coordinator thread, i'm really glad to see many people open to the idea that their guy may not be "the guy" and are putting their trust in a quarterback savvy HC to make the right call for his team.

We ALL want a #1 quarterback, but its nice to know that many of you wont go ballistic if it isnt Smith, although i'd bet it will be.

I'm on board with that because of Reid's history.

He believes you have to have a top QB to be successful in the NFL and his system. He's the one that believed in Brett Farve, refined him. Believed a black QB could be successful. Got Jeff Garcia to the league championship game.

He's got our QB back.

Exactly, his awareness of the importance of the position, combined with a resume full of successful QB's, should be enough to placate even the most die hard of cynics.
