Geno Smith fans roll call

[RealSNR]

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:

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 #3 (My favorite):

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

But did he complete the pass?

Isn't that all that matters?/cp

He can't have #12 here though, that belongs to Ricky Stanzi

Helmet ripped off, looks back downfield, let's the ball fly and gets slammed below the knees. Still working to make the play.

Stud.

This play is ridiculous on a number of different levels: escapability, poise, awareness, and courage.

Outstanding.

Oh and would love Tavon Austin.

Since the start of last season, Tavon Austin has gained 1,106 of his 1,352 yards after the catch. That's the most of any player on a ranked team.


When targeting Stedman Bailey, Geno Smith is 22-of-23 for five touchdowns.

When scoring at least 30 points, West Virginia is 77-3 since 2000.

Smith became the Mountaineers' all-time passing leader last week with 8,191 career passing yards.

Smith, Smith, Smith.

Geno Smith Could Get Looks as Number One Overall Pick

After three weeks of the college football season, it’s apparent that what we thought we knew was wrong. I had penciled in USC as a participant in the national title game, but they showed some serious flaws against Stanford. One seemingly sure thing over the last couple of years has been West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, who has now taken his abilities to the Big 12, along with the rest of the Mountaineers.

Smith has been a big time playmaker ever since his sophomore season with West Virginia when he passed for 2,763 yards and 24 touchdowns with only seven interceptions. Last season, the junior tossed for 4,385 yards and 31 touchdowns, again with only seven interceptions. As a senior, Smith looks poised to shatter those numbers. He’s already thrown nine touchdown passes in just two games, and is completing 88 percent of his passes. His start to the season reminds me a lot of Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III from last year.

Smith is a definite Heisman front-runner at this point, especially after Matt Barkley’s lack-luster performance against Stanford. With an open race for the Heisman Trophy, I think there should also be an open race for the number one overall pick, and Smith’s name should be included. He doesn’t run a pro-style offense at West Virginia, but the NFL is moving toward the “Pass ’til you drop” sort of mentality, and Smith fits that perfectly.

He is an excellent passer, but more than that, he makes smart decisions and is able to make plays. He’s probably not going to run a 4.35 second 40 yard dash like Griffin, but he’s no slouch in terms of running with the football, and has a rushing touchdown this season to go along with 83 rushing yards. His ability to make plays with his feet and make strong throws is really enticing for NFL scouts.

If you’re talking about potential top picks for the 2013 NFL Draft, I don’t think you can leave Geno Smith out of the conversation any longer. He is for real, and he’s been doing this longer than most college quarterbacks. He’s completed over 65 percent of his career passes, and he has thrown only 14 interceptions in 973 attempts over the last three years.

That’s incredible, and you’d better bet he’s one of college football’s best kept secrets, despite how prolific he’s been.

Updated.

If you wanted your name on the list but don't see it, it's likely because I found your enthusiasm lacking.

Remember, this thread's about Smith. If you say, "I like Smith, but I just want a QB period" that's not good enough. I may as well post a link to the Chiefs Planet member list and put in a disclaimer to cross out BlackBob if that's good enough.

If you still want on the list, post again. Tell us all why Geno Smith makes you feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy.

Arm strength matters on the deep out, comebacks, and down the seam IMO.
