He's an above average athlete. He has Aaron Rodgers/Jay Cutler like athleticism, which is very good for a QB.

DO you have a twitter account King?

A personal one, yes.

I am a Geno fan, but I don't really see that.

You should question that guy. He blocked me.

This is where I would insert a Geno Gif. Of him being an athlete....

I still haven't figured out your twitter handle...

I think he has some athleticism, I just don't think it's good to great, more average to good.

There is a video of Geno where the video is being shot from the end zone and he takes off from the LOS after escaping the rush and runs away from everyone straight to the end zone. It might be the Marshall game

If you're talking straight speed than you're right but there's more to being athletic than that, he really does move well in and out of the pocket. He's good at throwing on the run, has quick feet he's more Aaron Rodgers athletic than RG 3 athletic.

He's very mobile in the pocket. He just doesn't run the ball very often. Which is actually a good thing for the most part.

Nice work

There's another nice run he had against Texas this year. He escaped heavy pressure and turned it into eight-ish yards. There's a gif of it floating somewhere on this site, but I'm not going to bother looking for it. It's at the 0:30 mark in this video.

Sorry for not embedding the videos; it's not easy to do on an iPad.

Did he respond to it at all? I'm sorry but if you claim that the Chiefs should consider trading the #1 overall pick for Ryan Mallet then you lose all credibility. I don't care how accurate the rest of your stuff is. That is beyond stupid. It implies an inability to think at a basic level.

Not true. There are internships for coaches and I'm sure scouts alike.

Not for 20 year old kids doing internships for college credit.

It generally rally wouldn't be for college credit. It's called paying your dues. It's how Scott Pioli got his start. Worked for free("internship"), slept on couches and in car I believe. All to et the chance to do something so many would love to do.

Also, if he knows someone, that's all that matters. Worked for Haley and his extensive football background.

Coaches do internships every year. Hell, even former NFL players to internships for coaching.

Not true.

Yeah he spewed off some more crap to defend his statement before blocking me. I don't remember what it was.

Ok, that still isn't a college kid.

Pioli was...

I can't even imagine.

Where'd you hear that from? He was hired by Belichick after being an assistant coach at Syracuse.

Edit: I see it.

Still don't buy that NFLosophy dude's story at all though.

Yes there are internships for scouting in the NFL. They are not out in the open like the business side, where they need anywhere from 10 to 30 per year. You have to do some digging and know the right people, but they are available.

LMAO

Well this guy and Pioli are not giving a good name to scouts that started as interns.

Not for the squeamish.

I did an "internship" with the jags, only reason I had the gig was because my uncle was the special teams coach. Never would have had it if it wasn't for him. They are very secretive with everything you do. It almost feels like you work for the government or something. Kind of a weird deal

Sounds about right. This forum has risen him to William Wallace levels. Don't believe the over-hype

Dane would call this guy a dumb worthless piece of shit, if Dane had a twitter account that is.

K. byeeeeee

Wanna talk about it?

http://itsallfreeonline.com/wp-conte...01/Kleenex.jpg

That's why I refuse to believe that a college kid could just intern there. Unless you're extremely connected like in your case, they won't let someone work with them that probably won't even have the job after a few months.


I just found an article by a guy who was an intern and turned into a scout...

http://applymate.com/blog/how-to-get-my-job-nfl-scout/

To call Geno's arm average is unconscionably ****ing stupid.

Do you have ANY IDEA how strong your arm has to be to make a throw like this? Off your back foot, JUMPING OFF YOUR ****ING FEET, almost 45 yards in the ****ing air? Forget the accuracy, just GETTING IT THERE is a sign of a very, very good arm.

http://s20.postimage.org/y9jqwr5qz/genotd.gif

That guy is a ****ing moron, and as ignorant as anyone out there giving NFL opinions. This should be the END of him in terms of anyone giving him a shred of credibility in what he tweets. His opinions have less credibility than Petegz28's.

Honestly, his arm is on par with Rodgers and a skosh behind Cutler's

Here is that same play without it being slowed down. Average arm my ass. God I'm pissed.

http://i.minus.com/iRRPpbBBuCFxU.gif

Geno should be the pick. He carried his team and progressively got better. The dude has accuracy and an arm. Add, his demeanor and he's worth the draft selection, IMO.

Actually Geno an his team got progressively worse...unless you are talking about season to season, which happens with basically every qb prospect.

Except Tyler Wilson lol

Tyler Wilson had an entirely different situation, because that entire organization pretty much got gutted and then blown up.

That is ADORABLE!... See how this works?

You are comparing an entire NCAA football program being gutted, to a player having to play in slightly cold weather in the fall.

Think about how dumb that sounds for a second.

two different threads sweetness keep it up

Hop in a third. The amount of effort it takes to make you look stupid is minimal.

Ouch that one really hurt

And Matt Barkley

That reminds me. I'm gonna go trash Barkley in his thread right now. :fire:

Good mocks but I wouldn't be surprised if Fisher out of Central Mich. overtakes Joeckel as the top OT taken. That kid is a beast

Never heard of the guy. Only LT I keep hearing is Joeckel.

Everybody was all over him during the Senior Bowl.

Why the **** would Philly draft Joeckel? They have a top 3 LT.

Stedman Bailey (WR, West Virginia): The Mountaineer pass offense finished the season ranked tenth in the nation. One of the leaders of this unit is playmaking wideout Stedman Bailey. Bailey, who ranks third in the country this season with 124.8 receiving yards per game, is a fleet-footed wideout capable of breaking tackles and picking up some extra yards after the catch.

Against Syracuse in the Pinstripe Bowl, Bailey was targeted nine times, coming away with eight receptions for 121 yards and two touchdowns. He doesn’t run a full arsenal of NFL routes, primarily running short to intermediate screen routes. For the game, his average depth of target was only 2.1 yards past the line of scrimmage on his receptions. He was able to pick up 78 yards-after-significant contact, an average of 9.8 yards per reception for the game.

[pats on head, gives candy]...run along and play

Turns out Geno missed out on Senior Bowl to train at IMG Academy. Can't complain about that choice.

Why is everyone talking about drafting Geno? I mean we have a chance to draft a Left Tackle to sit behind BA and learn for 5 years or so......

/Raider-Donkey-Charger fan

And Matt Barkley and Landry Jones.

Did.

Not.

Watch.

Actual.

Games.

No it hasn't.

We've had to endure stupid attack after stupid attack for going on 3 months now.

The "over-hype" is a defense mechanism being used to get rid of reeruns.

Get over it.

i have a feeling he is pioli

Last year it was the elite presnap importance of a communicator like David DeCastro we should build our franchise on...

Now it's pointing out how a college QB isn't a perfect player already, therefore he's not worth drafting at all.

LMAO

I can't believe you're try to get them to understand common sense. I tried, asking them how to fix the QB position and not one person could come up with a legitimate answer and Don417 is the definition of a "true-fan"

"I hope we give tanney a chance this year. I think he could be the one!"

-guy on facebook

Yeah, working with Chris Weinke to better himself for the combine and NFL. I think this is going work out great for Geno to boost his confidence in his throws and game. I think he is going rock and roll through the combine & Andy Reid is going take note of it.

ROFL

Chiefs fans and their never-ending obsession with practice squad heroes.

Except Geno did not get progressively worse... after his struggles in the KSU game, Smith bounced back and played well against TCU, OSU, OU, Iowa State and KU before the Pinstripe Bowl.

BUT, BUT, BUT they lost!

Not to mention I'd rather have a QB that's focused on honing his craft than participating in a glorified scrimmage that does nothing for him or his future team. That shows maturity to me and fits the description of him being a true student of the game.

The truth is somewhere in the middle.

Yes, it shows maturity that he was working with Weinke.

But he OBVIOUSLY skipped the Senior Bowl because there wasn't a chance it would help him.

Does that make him chickenshit? Maybe.

Does it make him SMART? ABSOLUTELY.

Every QB that played in the Senior Bowl now has question marks they didn't have before the game. None of them improved their stock.

Geno Smith carried the worst defense in college, and without him they don't win 3 games....

but his coach didn't bang a sorority whore in the film room, so he doesn't have any excuses according to whichever version of troll is currently posting here

Right!:rolleyes:

I think a lot of the true fans only watched the Kansas State game and assume Smith played that way the rest of the season.

No, he didn't continue completing 80 percent of his passses, because they played teams with a pulse once they got past Baylor and into conference play (well, except for the team that let him go 23/24 for 400). But he still was making plays, completing a high percentage of his passes, making good decisions, limiting turnovers, and completing throws to all areas of the field.

If Geno Smith had played for Oklahoma, the talk would center around how he was a dead ringer for Sam Bradford, but with more arm strength and better feet/athleticism. And he'd be the unquestioned No. 1 pick.

I agree that my post was geared towards the positive side of things, but what I put in bold is the general result of people that attend the Senior Bowl. It's merely a thing to keep attention on the NFL up to the draft.

No scouts take what they see to heart at the Senior Bowl. It can only make them go back and reevaluate tape that they have already watched and see if they missed anything.

Prospects like Geno are already getting the full evaluation. Improved performance at their Pro-Days and the Combine will yield the same results. Why not improve when you have two more chances to showcase your talents?

Rob Rang is on 810 right now.

Said Barkley and Smith both helped themselves tremendously by skipping the Senior Bowl.

Said if the Chiefs are going BPA it will be Joeckel but he said the BPA thing is pretty silly. Look at Cleveland, how many playoff games has Joe Thomas won? Exactly.

Said he thinks the Chiefs could take either Barkley or Geno.

Barkley is solid, Geno has more upside. He said if you hit on Geno, you could have a legit pro bowler at the position. He sees Barkley having the higher floor though.

Guys generally go to the Senior Bowl to improve their stock. If your stock is already high enough, it doesn't make much sense to go.

And scouts absolutely do take the evaluations at the Senior Bowl seriously.

It's how Tamba Hali ended up as our 1st round pick.

Rang thinks Joeckel compares to Joe Thomas.

He thinks Joeckel is a BIG upgrade over Branden Albert.

He doesn't like the idea of tagging Albert because he thinks he's a good, but not elite, LT.

Then he jumped the shark and basically said that Johnny Manziel is going to "return to earth" next year without Joeckel blocking for him.

He emphasized again that the Chiefs need to get a QB because a QB is so much more important than LT.

And then he jumped the shark again, suggesting that Matt Cassel might be the solution at QB.
