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

If we lose to Denver i just don't see anyway that Geno Smith isn't the pick.

His season was good and his physical abilities will make his stock rise not fall leading up to the draft.

Even if a new GM wants a WCO guy ... i just don't see how they could possibly take Barkley over Smith.

Imo there is no comparison.

And this is the game where the "true fans" are whining about him being a gangsta thug!

The only possibility I can see is selecting Wilson over Geno. It's not what I want obviously, but I think I could live with it.

Even still....GENO or BUST!

So over the last few days I have watched as much video on Geno as I could possibly find. I'm on board as he seems promising. One thing I really like...the dude stands in the pocket and makes the throws regardless of what is in his face. I love the fact that he steps into his throws and is not throwing off his back foot ala Cassell.

I was initially concerned that this guy would remind me of Aaron Brooks. I still have some concerns of him being Brooks-like but I see no way the Chiefs can't take a chance on him. He throws the ball with good velocity and seems to be pretty accurate with his throws. Did I mention he steps into his throws with pressure in his face! KC fans need someone to bring hope and excitement...think this guy could be the ticket. Now don't screw it up Clark!

I like geno. I'm not in love with him like you guys. He seems to have problems when he doesn't throw it to the first receiver in his progression. Some of this is mAsked by the system where he throws the ball quickly without a read. His athletic ability also covers up this problem. He can scramble and make plays. I like a lot a out him, but I do question that part of his game.

The ability to make reads and go through progressions is ALWAYS a question when a QB makes the jump to the NFL. You just never know how a guy is going to handle the speed and pressure at the higher level.

I don't have anymore confidence in Barkley or Wilson to make that jump any better than Smith. Who knows?

Hell ... you never know what is going to happen with a guy like RGIII either. When he has to stop running and starting reading he could struggle too.

After watching a few others I saw times people weren't open and he went to a second or third read. Sold.

****ing becuase I honestly can't remember seeing Cassel hit his #3 prog.

That changed the game. That's via PFF, and those were the passes that hit guys right in both hands. They just dropped them because of contact.

It was cold, mother****er

Smith is such a magnificent beast

I can't wait to laugh at all the reeruned platitudes Damien Woody and all the roided-up former jocks on the show are about to put forth.

Meanwhile the Chiefs will be laughing all the way to the stage at Radio City Music Hall to draft Geno Smith.

Is there ANY possibility of a J-Ville upset? We need this. Otherwise, won't we lose the 1st based on SOS?

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Darth Riots....Chiefs lose, the 1st pick and Geno is ours if they aren't total reeruns.

[KCrockaholic]

Has anybody else watched the Geno vs Maryland game? Some really impressive stuff in that game. I encourage everyone to watch the entire 2012 season of Geno.
