Lol Geno

2. Had the Chiefs taken Barkley or Nassib or Manuel at 1.1 most on here would have been livid even though they took a chance on a QB in the first (which is apparently what everyone wanted). Bottom line it was Geno or bust.

3. The acolytes of the Cult of Geno on here would be ecstatic if somehow we traded Albert for pick #54 and landed Geno even though we failed to draft a 1st round QB.

This is all about drafting Geno and Geno alone in round 1. Anything else is unacceptable.

Bullshit. People latched onto Geno's nuts because he's been widely considered the top QB available. That's it.

You're trying to lump years and years of a culture that's been brewing on CP in one offseason. These "Genoites" didn't just randomly form an opinion because of Geno Smith. If you think that, then you haven't been paying attention to Chiefsplanet over the last 5 years.

Dude. Geno started as a whisper, then somebody agreed, then more people agreed, and then it became a cult. I doubt the majority of Genoites watched him play a single game and, at most, watched some highlights. Highlights don't tell the whole story. EJ got the nod from the senior bowl performance (the one Geno felt too good for).

Geno didn't start as a whisper. The Geno fan base grew here because as the months went on, it became more and more clear that Geno was the top QB prospect.

Back in January, we had Cults for Bray, Wilson and Barkley. The threads speak for themselves.

At the end of last year, this forum was torn in 5 different directions on who the top QB was.

Only the Geno fans were saying he is better than RGIII. The other cults recognized the weaknesses of their prospects. The vocal Geno fans were 100% overzealous with their views - as good of a long ball as RGIII, fantastic pocket presence and leadership, etc. He can operate in a pro system. So much bull crap.

ONE person, ONE person said he was better than RGIII. SNR, Geno's biggest supporter never made such claims, nor did anyone else aside from Sacc.

His pocket presence, leadership and whether or not he can run a Pro offense have yet to be determined.

GM's and coaches of QB needy teams all must seem to question his ability to do those things. He's athletic, has a good arm, good accuracy out to 20. It has to be the other things teams question.

I think like Collin Kaepernick teams know he can be a good QB, but they can't afford to wait for him. Do teams need a player now? Or a player a year or two down the road? You don't waste your 1st rounder for a "prospect" when you have other glaring needs.

Round 2 you have more flexibility.

I agree.

I came to terms with that a long time ago.

But i don't care. I don't care where he's drafted at either, whether its 1.1 or 3.1.

If you don't have legit QB, then you take the top prospect available (which appears to be Smith) and you develop him.

Maybe you get him into camp and he's a day 1 starter, or maybe he has to sit a year or two.

Either way, you aren't winning a SB with out a legit franchise QB, and until you have one, you turn over every rock until you get one.
