Let's also get in touch with reality. The guy made over 50 million dollars here. It's not like they were booing the kid who got hurt in the punt pass or kick competition at halftime. A lot of damage has already been done by this asshole GM and clueless HC. We are far more of a laughing stock because of their actions than a bunch of fans cheering Matt Cassel's injury. |
More Geno, less BlackBob.
http://www.sbnation.com/nfl-mock-dra...aylor-maryland Before I started watching cut-ups of Geno Smith, I had an image in my mind of what kind of quarterback he would be. I had heard about all the amazing things he'd been doing, seen the numbers, read the reports. But I hadn't actually had the opportunity to see him actually throw a pass. Most of the reports I had seen compared him to ex-Baylor and current Washington Redskins quarterback, Robert Griffin III. I can safely say, having watched cut-ups of him against Maryland and Baylor, he is not Robert Griffin III. Nor is he Cam Newton. He's really not that much of a runner from what I saw. The guy that I kept thinking of while watching Smith was Ben Roethlisberger. But we'll come back to that later on. While he's not RG3 or Newton, Smith is obviously a very good quarterback in his own right. He displays a lot of the tools desired in a franchise signal-caller. One of those tools is accuracy. The first stat that jumps off the paper when you look at it is his accuracy. He's currently averaging 75.3% completion rate, but before this past weekend's loss to Texas Tech, he was in the low 80's range. While those statistics are somewhat inflated due to the number of screens and short passes within five yards that are thrown in this offense, he's still an accurate quarterback. Part of what makes him so accurate is his anticipation. Take a look at this play. http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_as...a-1_medium.png Smith knew that his receiver was cutting in on the post across the face of the defender into open field. He has the confidence to put that ball out there and trust that his receiver will go and get it. http://cdn0.sbnation.com/imported_as...b-2_medium.png Smith locates the ball a little out in front of the receiver, forcing him to stretch out and dive for the play. That's a pass that only his receiver could make a play on. The covering defender had no angle to make a play on the ball; and because the receiver has to reach out for the ball, the defender can only get to the ball by going through the receiver and causing interference. Geno is right on the money there. We also saw an ability to take a little something off of his throws when he needed to. http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_as...h1a_medium.png West Virginia have Baylor backed up in their own red zone. They call for a fade at the top of the picture, http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_as...h1b_medium.png Smith once again puts the ball where only his receiver can get it. He lofts it over the outstretched arms of the defensive back and hits his receiver at the back pylon of the end zone. The timing and accuracy of the throw are perfect, allowing his receiver to secure the football and get both feet down in-bounds. But don't think Smith is just a touch passer. He can gun one deep when the time calls for it. http://cdn1.sbnation.com/imported_as...l1a_medium.png Smith throws the ball from his own 42 yard line. http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_as...l1b_medium.png About 45 yards downfield, the receiver runs under the ball and catches it in stride. Smith made the pass look effortless while putting the perfect amount of air under it to allow his receiver to run under it in stride. The defensive back can't do anything about the throw, it's too good. The only problem I had with his accuracy over the two games I watched, was that Smith attempted to fit the ball into windows that weren't really there. It wasn't a frequent occurrence but it felt like from time to time, he'd back his accuracy a bit too much and often it wasn't needed. http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_as...w1a_medium.png You can see that Smith has plenty of time in the pocket. http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_as...w1b_medium.png And yet, Smith tries to fit a ball to a receiver that is bracketed by a corner and safety. The ball hits the corner in the back, but Smith is lucky the corner wasn't watching the pass because it could have been an interception. There was no need to throw that ball, Smith had all the time in the world with the pocket he was given. Smith can't afford to try and force the issue in the NFL, where that ball would probably have been picked. Now I mentioned earlier that Smith isn't RG3 or Cam Newton, but reminded me more of Ben Roethlisberger. In these two games that I saw, Smith rarely scrambled or ran a quarterback keeper unless he had to. His obvious preference was to stand in the pocket and use his elusiveness to create more time in the pocket and extend plays. Just like we see Big Ben do every Sunday for the Pittsburgh Steelers. http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_as...s1a_medium.png The defense gets a free rusher onto Smith here. But Geno saw him coming early and forced the tackle attempt to come from a bad angle. The defenders hands are around Smith's head height, allowing Smith to evade his grasp and slip out to the side. http://cdn0.sbnation.com/imported_as...s1b_medium.png All the defender can do is latch on to Geno's helmet as his momentum takes him past Smith. http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_as...s1c_medium.png With his helmet ripped off, Smith makes a wise decision to live and fight another day. He throws the ball away out the back of the end zone before he takes another hit. That kind of ability to elude tackles is something quite rare in quarterbacks. We've seen guys like Big Ben with players hanging off of him as he breaks free and gets a throw off, but there just isn't many guys around that can do it. Here's another example of him avoiding a rush, but staying in the pocket to keep the play alive. http://cdn1.sbnation.com/imported_as...p1a_medium.png Geno spot's the rusher coming free and steps up in the pocket. http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_as...p1b_medium.png He wisely tucks the ball to keep it protected from the outstretched arm of the rusher. http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_as...p1c_medium.png Smith finds his way to a gap in the pocket, keeping his eyes downfield. He manages to get off an accurate throw, even at such an awkward angle, at the last second before another rusher gets a hit on him. The ball was eventually dropped by the receiver, but it was definitely catchable. That about wraps up my thoughts on what I saw from Smith against both Maryland and Baylor. I still think it's too early for me to call him a top five or top ten pick. From what I've seen, he definitely has first round potential, but until I have a chance to evaluate the other quarterbacks and players in this class, I wouldn't want to call anyone a top five pick. What do you think about Geno Smith? Is he the next number one overall pick, or is he overrated. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below. |
His first "bad" game was against Texas Tech and even that game was not bad statistically.
Geno can run the ball pretty well actually. He isn't RGIII elusive, but he's a long strider and is faster than he appears. Think Randall Cunningham, not Vick or RGIII. I'll be at the game this weekend against KState and am looking forward to seeing him live. |
And then I JIZZ...IN-MY PAAAAAHHHAAAAANNNTTSSSS!

I weep tears of joy for Geno's awesomeness.

When I watch Geno Smith, I see an Aaron Rodgers clone. Not fast, but extremely mobile , and he always has his eyes downfield. The arm strength and accuracy are also comparable. |
Quote:
I absolutely love his pocket presence and his desire to look down-field. |
Id bet money that Pioli would pass on Geno in the draft.
I know that hurts, and hopefully he wont still be here to make that pick, but if he IS Pioli WILL NOT take Geno Smith. He would try to look like the smartest man in the room again...trade down to around 11 or 12, add a nother first rounder or maybe even two...and take Landry "Blackledge" Jones. |

You asked when he didn't play from behind. I gave you the 2012 Orange Bowl as an example when WV played the 13th ranked Clemson Tigers and rang up 70 on them with Geno setting nearly every Orange Bowl passing record in the process. If that doesn't work for you, then you, my simple friend, are beyond help. |

But I think it's a little premature to compare his arm strength to the QB with the best arm in the world. |

CMP ATT YDS CMP% LNG TD INT RAT 29 55 275 52.7 38 1 0 100.7 You cannot be a Chiefs fan if you think that stat line is looking like shit. |

He doesn't throw lasers with every pass the way most strong armed college QBs do, but he has thrown lasers into tight windows when he has to. His arm strength is underrated because he doesn't put it on display with most of his throws. |

I think Saturday will tell a lot about Geno. I want to see how he responds against another good defense. |
:facepalm:
take that stupid shit to the chiefscoalition. |
Quote:
I said he has comparable arm strength. That doesn't mean he has the same exact strength, but it is strong enough to draw the comparison. |
Quote:
He needs to start stepping up and taking the yardage the defense gives him. Obviously no one wants him to be a scrambler, but he had many opportunities to step up and run for a first down. |

Nope. This is the ONLY year when games against good defenses count. :rolleyes: |

And makes a very good observation: Geno has superb feel for the game and understands and applies the correct velocity to his passes for the situation. The guy has made numerous 50 yard in the air throws this season to receivers right in stride. Smith does have a very, very good arm (I'd say superb arm because he applies the necessary speed on the ball damn near every time). It's his understanding and application at the position that makes him so desirable in my eyes as an NFL level QB. His feel for the game is uncanny. He's a natural at the position. |
What a beatdown

Right now I like Tyler Wilson the most. The kid showed a ton of potential last year against the best defenses. He even looked pretty good against the LSU, Bama and South Carolina defenses. I know he looks awful now, but his coach is flat out terrible and his WR's are all in the NFL now. I would love to have Geno on this team though. I think he has the ability to be a great QB. I really want to see him rebound this week though (I want him to throw at least 3 TD's in a loss because I want K-State to go to the ship). And I don't get the Russell Wilson hate? Wilson was ****ing awesome his last year in college and completed 73% of his passes with 33 TD's to 14 INT's. He also has completed 63% of his passes with below average WR's in the NFL and beat Tom Brady last week, so forgive me if I don't hate him like some of you guys seem to. |
Quote:
I think Rodgers has the most live arm in the NFL. > Cutler, Stafford, Vick, RGIII, etc. I don't think anybody is close, IMO. TBS, I think that Geno has above average arm-strength due to his mechanics and footwork, similar to Tom Brady. Their releases are directly correlated to their arm-strength, IMO. I'm probably wrong, but that is just what I see. |

I think that kid has huge upside, and will be a QB to be reckoned with in the years to come. |

I feel more strongly about "Blow for Geno" than I did "Suck for Luck."
Geno Smith is un-freakingbelievable, and it would slay me if he ends up with the Browns or Raiders instead of with us. With a new head coach/GM, we could build a championship team around Geno Smith within a year or two. |

I like Geno. I really do but, I want to see him carry the team in a bad situation. This won't be popular but it's a valid point imo. When they get down and are playing like shit, I want to see him step up. I haven't seen that yet. The best QBs can do this and this is one of the most important qualities to me. Kansas State will be their toughest test to this point in my opinion.
He does compare to Aaron Rodgers in this area. Most of his success has come when he's played with the lead. Odds are he will never go through another playoff run without trailing in a game. |
Far better than what we've had around here for decades
