Andy Reid on Metro Sports...

[DaWolf]

I linked this in the other thread from the Star article, but was unable to embed it last night. Thought it might deserve its own thread, especially since we're starving for Chiefs stuff right now. Good interview, and interesting stuff on the QB position...

No, I don't hate him at all.

Look, I'm making it short and sweet for you. We're not talking about the intangibles that go into it, we're not talking about the reads on time, we're not talking about the footwork, the arm strength, the hands, all those things.

The bottom line is that guy doesn't have to the prettiest, but does he give you an opportunity to win football games and does he allow his players around him to raise their game up and go do that.

And if THAT doesnt SCREEEAM "give me Smith YESTERDAY"...then nothing in this ****ing world ever will.

His 2004 numbers were the best of his career by far. Other than that, the only time he was a 60% passer was when it didn't matter.

All I personally know of Smith is the K-State game and the Pinstripe Bowl. He was less than impressive in both.

I've read more negatives about him than positives, outside of this site, of course.

The biggest knock is that he's a crybaby. True or not, that's a stigma he's carrying among scouts and agents.

You can go watch some tape, or read some scouting reports. I don't care, but the more negatives than positives thing is pulled out of thin air

He really wasn't that bad in the Pinstripe bowl considering Nassib completed like 11 of 23 for 130 in that game. It was a tundra during that one, and if you check the game throw by throw he did fine. He stayed within the system which is what he's asked to do. K-state was his rough "bad" game. But he was down 31 to 7 by the 2nd Q. Hard to look good at that point. K state out coached Holgorsen. And I HATE the Holgorsen spread by the way. It's a bad gimmicky offensive system for today's game IMO.

Oh. And I used to think he was a "crybaby" also a few months ago. Then I actually took the time to look into all of his interviews and dig into his personality. Even he admitted his body language was poor at times. But he's not a cry baby. Hopefully he can work on that body language though.

How come you haven't watched more? It's easily available. You should watch more of Geno. http://draftbreakdown.com/qb-rankings go watch the OU and Baylor games.

The ou game was one of my first wow moments. Threw those ints at the begining and willed his team back in it. Should have won that game

Anyone that is basing anything off of the Pinstripe Bowl, please exit the forum.

No one is saying he has more negatives than positives, but some act like there are no negatives at all. I like Smith more than any QB in the draft, but I also realize he's got a few problems.
