I don't know if Manuel will be a bust or not, but i do know that Buffalo had the balls to make a move. They understand that you don't win in the NFL with out a Franchise QB.

QB's are crap shoots. Collect them until you find "the one".

Props to Buffalo for at least taking a chance at solving an issue that's plagued them since Jim Kelly.

On that note...

It is a bit funny that we've already deemed the Alex Smith trade a bust before he even plays a down for Andy Reid.

Oh well.

The same could be said for Alex Smith in KC playing for Andy Reid. Circumstances are different in each place.

So we're supposed to disregard his other 7 years in the league? Okay then.

So we should have drafted Geno at 1.1 just to say we tried.

You guys and your inability to understand that THIS draft has nothing to do with the last 30 are hilarious.

If Reid and Dorsey continue to ignore the QB position then all your hand wringing and moaning will be correct. Fact is the evidence of 1 draft, one round of one draft, doesn't support your whining ass theory.

You guys talk like this would have happened if we had last years #1 pick with that draft class. You continue to look dumber and dumber and dumber making the same statements over and over after the NFL just told you there aren't likely any franchise QB's in this draft.

Except we have a body of work in the NFL to look at that points to Smith's ceiling is an injury prone game manager.

What you are saying is you want to disregard his last 28 games and only look at his first 5 years.

Yes. He turned top 5 the day he was traded.

Bullshit.

1. The fanbase here has already talked about Buffalo taking Manuel in the first calling him a reach even though Buffalo tried. They were critical of the pick because Buffalo should have taken Geno whom some on here are madly in love with. The fact that EVERYONE in the first round passed on him is not relevant.

2. Had the Chiefs taken Barkley or Nassib or Manuel at 1.1 most on here would have been livid even though they took a chance on a QB in the first (which is apparently what everyone wanted). Bottom line it was Geno or bust.

3. The acolytes of the Cult of Geno on here would be ecstatic if somehow we traded Albert for pick #54 and landed Geno even though we failed to draft a 1st round QB.

This is all about drafting Geno and Geno alone in round 1. Anything else is unacceptable.

I would have felt much better about his prospects as a QB going forward with us had Harbaugh followed him here.

Is he going to be the QB of the last year and a half, or will he be the guy he was the first six years of his career?

I will give you credit for not trashing Buffalo at least. You are an exception right now.

I can't believe Alex Smith is better than Geno. Who would've thought? Oh.. Duh. 32 other NFL GENERAL MANAGERS.

But we have had 7 years to diagnose Alex, but General managers don't know anything.

I got neg repped too...didn't sleep that night at all either. Oh well, Vageno will find a home somewhere. He's no Casey Printers, right?

I dont care where he is drafted. Hell, i don't even care if it's Geno Smith. I don't know how many times i have to say that for you people to get it.

And the NFL hasn't told anyone anything. Just because the QB didn't go in round one and isn't considered a day 1 starter all of a sudden means that they can't develop into one? Kaep, Wilson and Brees say otherwise.

Alright lets roll the dice not sign Alex Smith and waste another 2 years of our skill players careers.
