Haven't posted in here yet. Still solidly on board the Geno bandwagon.

NFL Network's Mike Mayock stated on the Rich Eisen Podcast that he has a "hard time buying" West Virginia QB Geno Smith as a legitimate selection for the Chiefs at No. 1 overall."I have a hard time buying into that," said Mayock, fresh off studying 12 hours of Geno's tape. "I couldn't even pound the table today for a first-round quarterback, let alone a (No. 1) pick quarterback. I watched a bunch of Geno Smith and he can make every throw. He's athletic. The ball jumps out of his hand. But there's a lot of things that make me nervous about him. He misses people by wide margins for no reason. I see a little bit of hesitancy with the blitz. When that first read is not there, it's not as pretty on the second or third read. His eyes come down. He makes mistakes." Feb 14 - 12:49 PM

I've said this somewhere else, but last years QB class has completley skewed the "experts'" opinions on what drafting a QB high in the first means. They look for someone who is Luckian in his ability to come in and transition smoothly as possible to the NFL game, and to that point, there may not be anyone ready to play. Hell, even Washington had to bring the run option for RGIII to play at a high level, which is fine.
I'll refer to Cam Newton with everyone blathering on about how there isn't a QB worth the top pick. When he was drafted, most "experts" had him going middle low first, and some even in the second. ALl he did was throw for 4,000 yards and score 30+ touchdowns his rookie year.
Conclusion - it's the middle of February, and these "experts" don't know **** about shit, especially considering that none of these guys have had their combine or pro day workouts yet.
