With the Geno-mania that I've witness around here along with the aura that a 1.1 QB naturally carries, I don't think we can count on a proclamation from Andy Reid quieting the calls for Geno from the start. But even if we can, Alex Smith would have to be outstanding right out of the gate to keep the controversy from raging. It's not enough for him to not play like trash, IMO. With a team bringing in a ton of new players and the first year of a new system, I think that's expecting a lot.
That said, if Andy Reid believes that Geno Smith can be this teams franchise QB in a year or two, he should definitely take him. I just don't think it's going to happen.
