Only the Geno fans were saying he is better than RGIII. The other cults recognized the weaknesses of their prospects. The vocal Geno fans were 100% overzealous with their views - as good of a long ball as RGIII, fantastic pocket presence and leadership, etc. He can operate in a pro system. So much bull crap.

Would've been nice to have that pick back and pickup Geno. As much as this board is bashing him now, he's right where his true value should be.

A nice developmental QB with high upside but with some clear maturity issues. Not quite as sold on the Fisher pick but there's really not much else at the top of this year's draft. He's not projected to be Ogden, Pace, Boselli, Walter, or hell even Thomas, Long, or Clady. (Otherwise, many would've projected him as the top pick long before)

I agree with this thinking, because thats exactly what i believe Reid/Dorsey to be doing... going all in for winning now, while those guys are still prime.

Waiting for any rookie from this class to develop is just wasting our cores time.

When they start getting old and traded in the next 2-3 years, THEN draft the rookie and start fresh, or maybe theres a guy they really like next year that they're holding out for.

Geno isnt some world killer, there will almost certainly be someone better coming out in the next 1-3 years, then they can make the drastic moves necessary to get him.

We get to see how it plays out. Nothing wrong with a difference in opinion.

You hope I am right too.

and the difference between going 4-12 with Geno Smith as your QB taking his bumps and bruises being green as grass versus going 8-8 with a 30 year old noodle arm 170 yards per game, game manager... is what exactly?

a losing season is still a losing season and ill take the 22 year old QB with higher upside 10 times out of 10 if i have to sit through a lost cause of half a year

ROFL

You mean you aren't going to get a gang of CP thugs after him for not agreeing with you?

It's a start.

ONE person, ONE person said he was better than RGIII. SNR, Geno's biggest supporter never made such claims, nor did anyone else aside from Sacc.

His pocket presence, leadership and whether or not he can run a Pro offense have yet to be determined.

Well, yeah I hope you're right.

I also hope that Adriana Lima decides to run off to Curitiba with me but I'm not counting on it.

:D

Martyball. Sweet!

Off topic but I see this "I don't see Alex leading this team to the playoffs", but what I think is bigger than Alex is the hiring of Andy Reid. That right there will have much more impact than Alex or any QB for that matter.

It's starts at Reid. He will be the guy needed to make this team relevant. Many here think the QB is more important. While it is important, look at the teams who have won Super Bowls and their coaches. Look at every single top 10 QB and look at the coaching staff.

GM's and coaches of QB needy teams all must seem to question his ability to do those things. He's athletic, has a good arm, good accuracy out to 20. It has to be the other things teams question.

I'm looking.
