There is another thing. If he is a product of a system, then draft him and BRING IN THAT SYSTEM. I will take the WV quick slants and deep posts all day long if Geno is going to bring me the stats that his "system" is giving him.

It's not like we are keeping Daboll or some ultra awesome chiefs offensive gameplan.
Go get your QB with talent and give him the tools necessary to win.

good feet; evades pressure ; extends plays.

NCAA systems do not always work in the NFL, didn't you know that? Ask Tim Tebow.

Didn't he play in more of a pro-style system the year before this one though?

Yeah, and his stats were not as good as this year, but again, that was his junior season. Just started watching him this year though.

65%, 4385 yards, 31 TDs and 7 INTs.

Seems alright to me.

He played in a pro style offense his Sophmore year. He still had a very good year that year as well.

Sophmore year:

64.8%, 2763 yards, 24 TDs and 7 INTs.

FFS.....over the course of his career.....he's increased his completion percentage, yards, QB rating and TDs thrown. He's never thrown more than 10 INTs in a season.

Exactly what the **** is wrong with this kid? Other than people are morons and go strictly off of color.

Geno has been in the air raid system the last two years. He was in a pro style set up in his sophomore season.

He was very productive in both systems.

Color, offensive scheme, weapons around him making him look better (1st and 2nd round WR's).

That being said...I don't get it either. Geno Smith isn't even listed as a "player to watch" in the WV Bowl Game tomorrow. I'm not certain what he hasn't done to become a consistent mention.

I could get on board with holding the ball too long, but his pocket awareness is so good that I'm ok with that.

It IS weird.

He's played in two systems, one a pro-style, one a spread. He's put up gaudy stats in both. He's got a bunch of starting experience. He's the leader of his teams. He makes good decisions. He can make every throw. He's got good feet. A quick release. prototype size.

The knocks on him all seem manufactured.

I think it's clear he's the best player available at the position of most need, but I also don't think there's anything substantial to knock him on. I don't get it.

He played in a pure, under center pro-system coached by Bill Stewart his sophomore year.

Highlights from that year:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uNsvPiZAWZE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

His sophomore stats:

241/372
64.8% completion
2763 yards
7.4 ypc
24 TDs
7 Ints
144.7 rating

Geno has always been an exceptionally accurate and efficient passer.

It wasn't pure under center his sophomore year. A lot of the highlights are from shotgun.

I'd like some more detailed analysis of what exactly he was running sophomore year.
