If he's not better, he's pretty close.

What;s he missing then? I mean Luck was considered the best QB since Peyton, if not Elway and the media slobbed his knob all season. Where is that kind of publicity for Geno? He is getting some love, but nowhere near what Luck got. What did Luck have that Geno lacks?

Geno's knocks will be from his o-system, and that he won't have two full years of being hyped as the best prospect. |

Lucks got the pedigree. He was pretty much groomed for what was to come.
Geno has developed over his time in college. He does have some flaws, but for the most part they seem to be fixable. |

IMO that was a pretty significant red flag. |

7-9
Chiefs draft around 12-15. Smith goes 1 Barkley in top 5 Wilson in top 10 When asked why the Chiefs didn't attempt to go after a real QB, Pioli says, "You gotta remember that we still have a pretty good QB in Matt who made the Pro Bowl not too long ago and has led this team through some tough initial losses to begin the season." 2010 was probably the worst thing that could happen to this franchise (after the Cassel trade, of course) |

meh. somebody will trade up to get the QB we want the pick before ours. Then we will find out that Pioli wasn't going to draft a QB anyway.

Jeff George had a rocket arm with pretty good accuracy. He could also throw beautiful spirals
I think what DJ is saying is that Petrino's system can mask a QB's deficiencies and put him in positions where he doesn't have to be quick-thinking, mobile, or have great pocket awareness. I need to see more of Wilson before I determine if he's got "it". I'm not making any judgments yet. |

I was with everyone else - excited that perhaps we would stumble into our answer at QB if this kid declared. I tried to watch him with as unbiased an eye as I could get. In the end, I just wasn't that impressed by him. That system made him look far better than he was, IMO. It's the opposite of the argument I made with Bradford - sure, Bradford's system sure made things easy on him, but when you watched him throw he was just so precise in his targets and so crisp with his rhythm and timing that you could see he could be successful in virtually any system. Wilson doesn't have that look to me. He looks like a guy with some very obvious warts (and leadership concerns) that's playing in a pass-happy system with a wealth of weapons at his disposal. Oh, and I also don't think he has a cannon anymore than Barkley does. He has an NFL arm, to be sure. But Stafford has a cannon. Luck and Griffin have cannon's. Bray has a cannon. Wilson just has a solid NFL arm. I think years of watching Cassel has warped our expectation of an NFL quarterback. Wilson's arm would be, at best, slightly above average in the NFL.
