It's 100 percent clear now that Geno Smith was obviously a first-round talent, who was passed over only because of the post-RGIII/Luck draft climate.

He's as good a prospect as guys like Ryan Tannehill and EJ Manuel were.

By the way, how is Manuel doing? He actually makes Alex look good.

BTW, by gift I meant that the TB player was a moron for hitting Geno (obviously) late, which allowed them to be in FG position.

so we won't ever find you rooting for UDFA Bray, right?

because the entire nfl refused to draft him, so it is settled forever that he can't be any good...

it's hilarious that a QB 'falling' all the way to the 39th pick is now evidence of some mortal failing..."oh no, he was a high second draft pick, he can't be good!"

There's very little difference.

If the Chiefs don't get that penalty, the Titans get the ball back and could have easily run the clock out considering how the game was going at that point. All momentum was on their side.

If the Jets don't get that penalty, they probably lose, too.

But you dumbasses are DONE criticizing Geno for a "gift penalty," because the one Alex "drew" was an even BIGGER gift.

Time will tell. You may be right. I certainly not discounting that possibility. It doesn't matter to me now, though, since he isn't the Chiefs QB. My only concern is how well Alex Smith does for us. If he proves that he can get us to the playoffs AND WIN in the playoffs then I'll be happy. If not well.....

Quite a stretch of logic there.

What Geno is doing with the dogshit situation and talent around him is remarkable.

It's gonna be fun to follow his career to see how he does as they add talent around him.

Also:

Geno > Cam

I prefer to think of it like this... Alex is playing as well as Geno is. And for two seconds instead of a first overall!

:)

Uhm... how was it a bigger gift? If Geno doesn't get that flag, the game is over. KC's game was not over. In fact, the KC offense still had to finish out the 10 play drive and score a TD.. not a FG.. a TD. :hmmm:

100% clear now, huh? So after being good against a horrific defense, it's clear? Oh boy... you have got to wash your face, mouth, and eyes out from all that Choco-bukkake. :doh!:

Didn't say that. But you guys hitching your wagon to Geno insisted that he must go at 1.1 obviously must be smarter than all the GMs in the NFL that watched all his game coaches films, worked him out, and interviewed him. Sure, sometimes they make mistakes or overlook a talent. Time will tell if that's the case. And you really need to check your reading comprehension because I never said that I thought Geno is or would be a failure. Teams draft based on what they feel is a player's potential. It really all comes down to what percentage of a gamble you are willing to make. I'm just saying that you guys want to blame the Chiefs yet every other NFL team will deserve the blame for failing to recognize if Geno becomes a star.

I don't think any of the teams balked at Geno for how he is when things go well. It wasn't that they didn't think he could throw TD and win games, but rather how he handles throwing INTs and losing. That's why he fell. Geno could still end up like Rivers or Cutler. But I'm with you that it was reeruned how many teams with QB needs passed on the clear-cut best QB in the draft in favor of sub-par talents like Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher. Those dudes are fine, and will be fine, but what the **** made Eric Fisher worthy of the first overall pick and not Geno?

I'm fairly certain that the Chiefs would have had to take Geno 1.1 in order to secure him. If we didn't trade for Alex Smith, everyone would have known we were going QB. The Jets would have traded up to either #33 with Jax or back into the first round for him.

Not that taking Geno 1.1 would have been bad. I would have JIMPd.

1.1 Geno Smith
2.34 Zach Ertz
3.63 Terrence Williams/Stedman Bailey/Keenan Allen


I think I'd have vastly preferred that draft. But I said that at the time, too.

Because Alex's penalty should probably not have been called.

Geno was clearly out of bounds.

is the 2nd round some kind of purgatory now?

jesus, he was the 39th pick, not a udfa...

No it's ****ing not.

The Chiefs had ****ing choked away the game to that point.

That penalty was a HUGE momentum shift. Credit to Alex for taking advantage of it, but whatever.

You're DONE discrediting Geno due to his gift, because Alex has received the SAME good fortune.

Who ****ing knows if we even get the ball back or if Alex has a drive in him or if he can convert on 4th down after that failed third down conversion.

I'm not saying this game makes or breaks Geno Smith. It's a positive step, but he must continue to build on it. He must continue to progress and strengthen his ball security. He's trending upwards and might be a star even sooner than I, one of his biggest fans on here, thought.

Teams seemed to pass on him because of character/maturity concerns that came out of the interview room. This wouldn't be the first time that was either false, overblown, or something the player used to motivate himself past those issues. I think the fact he fell in the draft is a weak excuse.
