In a real QB competition Geno beats Alex Smith.

You know, this may be true. But did you see the man love Andy showed for Smith at that presser?

Plus, the Chiefs did not give up the picks they did to bring in a rookie for open competition. Especially, after Andy said at that Presser "Listen, Alex Smith is the starting QB of the Kansas City Chiefs".

No one knows that. No one can know that.

Geno has a stronger are, and is probably more athletic, other than that, I don't know this to be true at all.

Hes got a stronger arm, more athletic, better accuracy, better decision making. Other than that though, idk

I'd argue better accuracy and decision making. Why is Geno better?

I'm sure there are some comparable highlights of Alex Smith from college.

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.

In all honesty, drafting an OT (Joeckel/Fisher) doesn't mean that they are going to see the field anymore than drafting Geno. Albert is definitely going to play and Stephenson has all the tools. (IMO, if Big Don stayed in school this past season, there wouldn't be any Lane Johnson talk at all. Stephenson is a very athletic, big and talented OT. He'd be in the discussion for the top tackle taken this year if he was in this draft class.)

Besides, Smith does have the concussion issue and is 29 years old, and we all know that Daniel is a third string guy. Period.

Drafting Geno gives Reid and Alex Smith the chance to mentor him for one or two years without the pressure of having him produce right from the get go.

Remember this guy named Aaron Rogers who kinda sat behind this other dude for a couple of years and then kicked ass? Same situation.

Period? Really? He was second string in NO and is currently second string here.

Hyperbole doesn't serve you well.

Hyperbole is my life philosophy.

And he's a giant ball of midget suckery.

This was the New Orleans QB lineup last year:
