Chiefs Geno Smith vs Alex Smith - It's on. - Page 50

Hammock Parties · 02:56 AM

It's on now. Geno Smith is probably going to be starting for the Jets this season.

Alex Smith will be the Chiefs QB for the forseeable future. If he's a success, we'll probably get five good years out of him.

So who's gonna win more NFL games over that time period?

Put your ten pounders on the table and make a vote

Alex: 11 wins
Geno: 8 wins

Geno is a talented young QB with a good work ethic who had a lot of college production.

I will take 10 of those for the next 100 years in KC before I ever take another retread game manager.

Which is why in a QB-starved league, every team passed on him, some 2 or 3 times?

If it was just us, ok. But every GM in the league seemed to have the same read on him.

Smith isn't a Manning or a Brady of course, but he is the kind of guy who has shown he can play well on a team that is talented and otherwise ready to contend.

At this point in his career he is more or less an known quantity if he's healthy, which is not a great but an above average QB.

And before anybody says "Woohoo, true fan, happy with above average", I wasn't a fan of the compensation for him, but I think he was the best player of the available options this offseason. It's hard to argue that IMO

There are 32 teams so 16 would be "average". Jaws put Alice at #20. That's not above average.

Jaws also used to wave around a "Super Bowl blueprint" with a Chiefs helmet on it.

Good point, but he's still the best IMO at evaluating QB's.

Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, etc.

Yeah Jaws likes KC. Which is why it's kind of disheartening for him to rank him where he did. Doesn't mean shit though. I think even the Alex haters expect at least average production from him in this offense with everyone healthy.

Those players are a lot more intelligent than Geno in my opinion.

Geno is extremely intelligent. He is known as a perfectionist.

After taking an intelligence test early in his life, he was labelled 'Gifted'. So gifted that his mother was offered the option of skipping him a grade, she declined.

He was entered into a gifted program emphasizing creative arts. He was a good chess player early and took up drawing as a hobby, the thing about Geno, he always was and always will be a perfectionist.

I was labeled 'gifted' as well, scored an IQ of over 135, and was put in special classes all through elementary and middle school. Look how that turned out~

edit: I'm, on Team Geno, I'm just sayin'

I've always liked football players who are good at chess. I've typically found if they're good at chess, they can be pretty good on the field.

Luckily for the Chiefs it isn't up to you.

KCrockaholic · 08-14-2013, 10:40 PM

I think we have one of the top 5 game managers of all time if we want to base it off the last 2 years.

Ok, not all-time. But best one right now.

Yes, how lucky we were to get the GM's we did the past...ever....instead of somebody else. A monkey pressing buttons could have managed to put a roster together able to win us our first playoff game since the times when MLB didn't have a wild card and the X-Files was in it's first season. Eric Fisher was what, like 5 years old at the time.

We have no idea how the Chiefs will play this year. It is a little too early to pronounce this regime the same as the last. Stupid too.
