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

It's ok to like who you like. I like Wilson alot too. But letting the senior bowl and combine make that much difference in who you pick is how you end up with Ryan Sims.

I'm just not proclaiming that he is Jesus Christ Superstar in early January.

The combine and senior bowl hasn't even happened yet. A lot can happen in that time.

Those could be big selling points to GM's and HC's.

And Geno doesn't?


I dont' really have a problem with drafting either of the three, but this Geno love and hate is getting ridiculous.

So what exactly is the combine going to do for you? None of the three will likely throw, and we can't hear what they say in interviews.

What the **** do you think Geno Smith has?

[fairladyZ]

exactly i'm more intrested in the sit downs and white board work they can do.. It goes without saying that Geno is tops in skillset. His skills are fundamentally sound, think he could add a couple lbs and a little work on his footwork but other than that the tools are all there it's his head that i question, and maybe i'll get proved wrong in the interviews.

Wilson size is by far the tops of this class out of the top Qb's.
Barkley's pre-snap reads and adjustments are tops.
geno's fundamentals are sound.

so it comes down to which package fits and works

Geno is said to have a good football IQ too, but his football tape has shown obvious concerns with that.

Why the **** would you question that?

Is it because he never smiles in pictures? Must mean he's gangsta

So does Wilsons and Barkleys.

I like Geno, but I'm not gonna act like some of the reeruns in this thread who are saying he's better than every QB in this class in every single way and that he's just as good as RG ****ing 3.

This is why the combine will be very interesting.

[fairladyZ]

cause of plays he has made, holding the ball to long at time, drifting back into the endzone, the taunting and throwing gangsigns at fans.

just ? marks that i hope get cleared up. Like i've said if he passes with flying colors in interviews and we make the decision he is the one then by all means lets go i'm all in on rooting for him, just hope the staff does their homework and KNOW if there are any issues they can fix them and make him the best damn QB we have ever seen!

[fairladyZ]

damn double post

He's not near the athlete RGIII is. Not even close. But as a passer, it's not quite the gap some think.

Hes not the best overall Qb at everything in this class. Bray has better arm strength, etc.


But when you add it all together, I believe he will probably grade out higher than the other QB's overall.

As O stated, how the **** are you going to know what the white board looks like in the one on one player meetings at the combine? Idiot.

Wilson size is by far the tops of this class out of the top Qb's.

One more thing to add to your "I don't know jack shit" list.

Wilson is 6'1.5" and 218 lbs.

Geno is 6'3" and 225 lbs.

Jones is 6'4" and 225 lbs.

Manuel is 6'4" and 240 lbs.

Sorensen is 6'4" and 235 lbs.

Wilson's size is tops in this class? Did you eat paint chips as a kid?

Barkley's pre-snap reads and adjustments are tops.

From NFL.com:

However, things started to unravel in a Week 3 loss to Stanford, with Barkley appearing to crumble under the intense pass rush from the Cardinal. He repeatedly made poor decisions against the blitz, resulting in a pair of interceptions and several negative plays. In addition, Barkley's lack of athleticism and questionable arm strength stood out as possible deficiencies at the next level. Those flaws continued to show up throughout the season, with Barkley tossing 15 interceptions, including nine in his final four games. Poor decision making and sub-standard physical tools were already spawning questions about Barkley's capacity to become a franchise quarterback in the NFL when a shoulder injury in the Trojans' Nov. 17 loss to rival UCLA sparked concern about his health and durability

geno's fundamentals are sound.

Agree.

so it comes down to which package fits and works

No, it really doesn't. It's Geno and it's not even close.

Sure, but not to us fans.


We won't have any idea how the interviews go.
