This whole idea about "who's better, Geno or Alex" is the wrong way to look at it. It's not about who's better. That's impossible to know, because one of them has never been on an NFL field. It's all about risk and reward. Geno Smith is an unknown quantity, just like every QB who has ever headed into the draft. Some people see that as a negative, because it's an inherent gamble. Other people see that as a positive, because there's at least a remote chance for greatness there, in comparison to an established player like Alex Smith, who as a known quantity has limits which are well-defined by this point, and he's never going beyond them. So the question, then, comes down to whether it's better to go with the unspectacular but seemingly "safe" choice in Alex Smith, or to take a chance on an unknown like Geno Smith, who could be much more, but could also be somewhat less, depending on how it goes.

I think at some point you have to take that chance. Unfortunately I'm a fan of a franchise that seems to disagree.

Dion Jordan. I'm not a QB fan girl, I'm a fan of my team.

Uhh, he's going to have to adjust it a wee bit for NFL success. Dennis Dixon and Fasoli's or whatever the dude's name was isn't going to cut it.

this ... he's already starting to amuse himself by ****ing with Chiefs' Nation.

No....they're not.

So, you are still a 2-4 win team for the near future then with no hope. Cool.

Changing his offense a "wee bit" is not the same as doing a complete 180.

He's going to need a guy that can make plays in the pocket and is mobile. Geno is both. I would find it hilarious if he envisions a Dixon type tearing shit up in this league though, heh.

We are rebuilding. Of course there is hope. It's not like we traded for a game manager QB that we will be stuck with.

Under contract for 2 years. They can easily go QB this year or next. A one and 2-twos is NOT too much to spend on hedging your bets at the position.

You'll disagree when Geno goes elsewhere and dominates :)

oh man fazolis italian is ****ing good. amiright? I get the slice of pizza as my side

:D

I get the sampler from Fazolis.

Who said OT is one of the strongest positions?

It's not deep at all and the top guys aren't elite level prospects by any measure.

2011 was a very good year for tackle prospects.

2010 was a very good year for tackle prospects.

2008 was a very good year for tackle prospects.

There is nobody that jumps off the charts this year and it's not that deep a class in terms of quality.

Personally, I think the best OT prospect in this class is Barrett Jones. Most of these other guys have a lot of warts or just have under performed.
