Geno Smith fans roll call

[SNR]

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

Yes. Not all of the board was smart enough back then to realize the importance of the QB position.

Stafford's head isn't in the game a lot. He was a party animal in college. Great arm, but he's more like Cutler than he is Elway at this point.

Bradford, Newton, Stafford?

Nothing relevant really. You were just firmly against drafting him while I argued otherwise. I'm neither for or against any QB this draft for the record don't know enough about them outside some light reading in mock drafts.

I'm painfully aware of the Chiefs however.

I'm probably in the minority but I think Wilson will move ahead of Smith and we will draft him. I wouldn't mind Smith though I like him a lot. Just don't be surprised if Wilson is our pick.

Does he have leadership skills? Will he work hard, or will he sign his fat contract and become complacent?

I've seen some highlights and he can throw and move. I just don't know about his character.

not sure, but he may be a cornball brotha.

I'm still onboard despite his less than stellar first half performance.

He's a better PROSPECT than Newton and Russell Wilson were - of course we have the benefit of hindsight.

He's probably on par with Bradford.

Bradford's pretty terrible. I hope to hell that Geno is a LOT better than Bradford.

I called Stafford cutler before that draft.

Well to be fair, he sucked in Sandy Eggo. His yards per attempt were worse than Cassel's worst season.

Payton and Brees seem to have some kind of symbiotic relationship...

I thought he's played well considering the elements.

I think Geno demonstrated a lot more football IQ than Bradford ever did. Speaking about their college careers, that is.

Sorry, I meant as a PROSPECT.

The criticisms, especially, are similar.

Me too but this its what cracks me up: everyone was blowing Bradford when he came out, but since Luck and RGIII came out everyone says you only take a Luck or Manning with the first pick. It's truly ridiculous.
