Geno Smith MIGHT be a Super Bowl QB. He has the potential. And if he goes to KC, he'll have the coaching staff to put him in that position. He's not a savior, but lots of people like him and want him to be a Chief. You don't have to label it as a religious fervor. In fact, you SHOULDN'T. Because that's not what's going on. At all. Alex Smith will NOT be a Super Bowl QB. Ever. Barring, of course, a Trent Dilfer-like experience, which I'm not anticipating to happen in the NFL ever again. That's why so many people are positive on Geno and negative on Alex Smith. If Andy drafts Geno Smith, and Geno busts, Andy is not a failure. If Andy punts on this QB issue in year one by trading for Alex Smith/Matt Flynn/Nick Foles, then yes, he absolutely IS a failure. Right out of the gate. No questions asked. |

No, it's not.
The Combines haven't even taken place yet in the minds of many CPers, Smith is a Super Bowl QB that's unquestionably the number overall choice. Yet, outside of this forum, he's viewed by many as a second rounder, a guy with questionable leadeship skills and for certain, he's no where near the consensus number one pick. Now, that's not to say that he won't become those things, but similar things were said about Jimmy Clausen a few years back, yet he fell to the second round and has sucked ass in the NFL. |

You're leaning a bit too far over the "Chiefsplanet is the only place Geno is highly regarded" fence.

Therefore it is not as much of a reach to see him going 1st overall to us. Hell, many of those who say he is too big of reach to take at #1 have him going 3rd or 4th and being a good pick at that spot. |

There is no way that Clausen is even close to Geno in terms of being an NFL prospect. NOT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE. Geno is legit, and most drafniks have had him going to the Chiefs at #1. Other than Kiper and McShay. So, I guess it comes down to who you find plausible in terms of player draft analysis - the two draftnik helmetheads at ESPN or just about everybody else on the planet. |

That's not logic, that's an assumption that past performance over a limited data set can be extrapolated into the future along a straight line.

It's not a "fact" based on history. If history could produce facts like that, nothing would ever happen for the first time, which is preposterous.

Tannehill goes #8 overall, so there's little chance in hell that Smith falls out of the top 10 pretty much any year.

If it's not a QB, it doesn't matter. If they get some retread backup from another team to start, then Reid is just a fatter, burned out version of Marty.

Regardless, it's stupid to state that Reid is a failure neary three full months before the draft and 8 months before he's coached his first game. |

There is absolutely no way Geno makes it past the Raiders at #3. I will bet anyone anything on that. Come at me Dane.
