Geno couldn't be an option quarterback because he ran a 4.59, but Cam Newton is an option quarterback and ran a 4.59. Got it.

How how the **** did Geno NOT distance himself from the field? He was the best at EVERYTHING except he was second in vertical jump. He dominated the combine.

Geno Smith combine numbers:

4.59 40 (exactly the same as Andrew Luck and Cam Newton)

10' 4" broad (best out of everyone at the combine the last two years...again, same distance Andrew Luck jumped last year)

33.5" vertical (second to EJ Manuel in the position group)

Bray is basically the Joe Flacco of this draft class IMO.

If he gets his shit together, he'll be a badass mother****ing QB.

He reminds me of Cutler.

Lol, I've watched most of Gabbert's games in college and pro and I think you have your analogy backwards. Neither one is great, but Bray is a better pro prospect than Gabbert.

We need Whitlock to do a column about it.

I would have liked to have known what Geno's time was in the 3 cone and 20-yard shuttle.

But his broad jump and vertical jump were only 2 inches shorter than Cam Newton's.

Eugene Geno Smith ‏@GenoSmith_12

4.56 40, 10.4 broad jump, 34 inch vert. Yet none of this defines me as a QB! The game is won between the ears, study the tape!

Someone needs to tweet Andrew Lucks numbers from last years combine to him...and Cam Newtons from the year before when he "destroyed the combine"

What the **** is wrong with he media?

Do they just not want a stud quarterback in Kansas City?

That article may as well written its conclusions before the combine.

"Geno Smith proved to be faster than everyone else and made all the throws....but did nothing to separate himself". Just exactly WTF else did you want him to do?

And any combine article that says that Tyler Wilson was anything other than complete crap isn't worth the bandwidth it took to post it. That's a litmus test takeaway from all of yesterday's reports: Did this person know enough about what he was watching to realize that Tyler Wilson looked like dogshit?

If not, then stop reading.

Though I agree that Bray looked decent, it's hard to say how good he looked because the group he was in was just absolute trash. He clearly stood out from the Colin Klein's of the field, but that wasn't saying much.

I wish he was in group 5 with Geno, Manuel, Scott and Wilson so we could've seen where he slotted in with those guys.

:bravo: :bravo: :bravo: :bravo: :bravo:

Exactly. Mayock made similar statements yesterday. Yes, I saw the film that Mayock demonstrated as poor decisions. But with nearly 70% completion rate, isn't Smith allowed to make a few mistakes?

His comments were absurd. Either there's some kind of hidden secret about Geno Smith that no one in the media is sharing or they just can't seem to wrap their heads around the simple truth that Andrew Luck and RGIII are unique.

You're right: I'd only seen Bray one time on CBS in the past two years but I'd read plenty of reports about him and the player I saw didn't fit those descriptions or the single game that I saw. So, maybe I'm jumping to conclusions because I saw a strong-armed, confident, big QB and not a whiny, scrawny little bitch.

As for the risers, E.J. Manuel clearly stood out. I had mentioned sometime in October or so that I felt he was a 4th rounder with potential but he's getting better with each passing week and clearly helped himself the most with his Combine numbers and Senior Bowl play.

I think he's moved into the second round. While I think I prefer Smith and Barkley, I wouldn't be upset if the Chiefs selected Manuel because I believe that he has a very high ceiling.

And Andy Reid would likely develop him rather quickly.

DJ has actually brought me to the dark side on EJ Manuel. It's going to take some work, but he's intriguing.

:bravo: :bravo: :bravo:

I've come to like the idea of getting Manuel, mostly because it's better than most of the alternatives.
