Geno Smith fans roll call
NEW THREAD HEADER (11/17/12):
The list is gone. We will all be Geno Smith fans when he gets drafted by the Chiefs. For historical documentation's sake, I'll keep the list in a separate post on this thread: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...postcount=3314 WHY GENO SMITH? If you're wondering if Geno Smith is right for you, check out this brilliant post by Saccopoo: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...postcount=5388 Next, we have a few GIFs you may be interested in from the Oklahoma game. Insane potential. These are the elite throws that very few QBs can make. What more can I say? Geno Smith can be a franchise QB in the NFL, and the Chiefs need to take a shot on him. GIF #1:
Spoiler!
GIF #2:
Spoiler!
GIF #3 (My favorite):
Spoiler!
HOW DO WE GET HIM HERE? Glad you asked. I posted this checklist earlier. It probably belongs in the thread header, and will be updated as the Chiefs close out their season and start a new chapter in their franchise story. Preparing for Geno Smith's Arrival In KC Checklist 1. [X] Lose games and acquire the #1 overall pick 2. [X] Get Pioli and the Patriot Way cronies the **** out 3. [X] Hire new GM/coach OPTIONAL (but highly recommended): 4. [ ] Re-sign/tag Bowe, who really wants to play in KC with Geno 5. [ ] Re-sign/tag Albert Last edited by RealSNR; 01-04-2013 at 12:32 PM.. |

Sensible. I'd rather take a "sure thing."

Tell me why Geno Smith isn't worth the pick, burt. Who's the magic player we need? Why is draft value so important when the biggest giant ****ing gaping hole in this team exists at ****ing QB? Wouldn't it make sense to fill the most important position that happens to be the biggest hole on the ****ing team with the best player we can find to fit it?
Doesn't it? DOESN'T IT? LOOK, I'M DISCUSSING YOUR POINT THAT YOU CLAIMED WE HAVEN'T BEEN CONSIDERING. WE'VE ALREADY DISPELLED IT 1000 TIMES, BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW. I'M THINKING ABOUT IT. JUST FOR YOU, BURT. |

Hey, debSNR caps, why don't you focus on misspelling the myth of your gaping ass.

Burt, if this is your revenge for the time I trolled you in the veterans thread, then well done. You succeeded. I'm ****ing livid right now.
But go **** your grandmother. |

I think it's the same with Smith. He's not at a traditional football power, and although they did jump to the Big XII, and that is a significant step up from the Big Least, it's still not the SEC. Since he's not doing it at a big time program it must be a fluke, and it's all weak competition. Yada, yada, yada. That's what I think. And I think despite that he'll be a surprise "riser" once the combine and workouts hit. Because, according to everything that I've ever read about him (and I didn't just start reading about him this year - I was talking about him on draft day last year, and even before that...), he's an extremely hard working student of the game, very intelligent, with all the requisite ability and skills you could ever want, both tangibles and intangibles. I think he'll interview very well, and I think his strong points will stand out on tape, while his weak points (and he does have them) are all coachable. He's strong armed, has a quick release, can read defenses, make all the throws short, intermediate and long. I just think that once the "experts" take the time to look at him (I assume the actual NFL scouts already know this...) all this will stand out. There's just a lot about him that you can't teach, both his work ethic and his natural talent. Is that Andrew Luck? No, I don't think so. Is it RG3? No, I don't think that either. But I don't think he's too far down from that level. And I think in this class, which doesn't really (in my opinion...) have a standout at any other key blue chip draft pick position (meaning DB, DL, WR), he's an absolute no-brainer of a pick for a team like us who should be looking extremely hard at the quarterback position. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he'll grade out worse than I expect in the spring. No way for me to know. But my guess is that he'll be the consensus #1 player on the board by the time the draft rolls around. If he's not, then it will probably be some kind of character issue that got uncovered (sort of like Justin Houston, but I assume nothing that egregious...). I don't expect anything like that with him however, and I don't think there's anything about his play that would or should scare teams off. |

Reaching for a QB shouldn't be considered a reach, especially when your franchise hasn't drafted one in 30 goddamn years.

I've yet to see someone put together a coherent option other than taking a QB first overall.

The only other things we've heard, is take Teo. A TED ILB, in a 34. Doesn't make sense to me, but ok, thats an option.
I will say that once the draft gets here, I'm not sure Teo is even a top 10 pick. |

Im sick to death of anyone arguing about taking anything but a qb. Im sick to death of having to correct my friends and im sick of listening to people talk Teo, an OT or any other slap dick as a viable option.
For the love of god i hope we draft Geno, we need a good young qb to rid this fan base of its ignorance. |

I think he'll get overvalued for character. I'm not sure if he'll go top-5 (although as high as 3 wouldn't shock me, especially if it's Oakland), but I'll be a little surprised if he drops all the way out of the top 10. It's like Aaron Curry all over again.
