There's a lot of skewed weighting going on. And Smith is not measured against RG3 or Luck or anyone else from last year. He's measured against people in this class.

Yep, I agree with you there and the competition is close.

the Talking Can 01-21-2013 03:43 PM

it's amazing that a fanbase that wouldn't have traded for RG3 last year now uses him as some unimpeachable standard for whether or not we're allowed to draft a QB...

I think it might have been his ability to be clutch and win games down the stretch and play the QB position extremely well, not blow them and look like an asshole (Geno). LMAO

Yeah, that game losing INT that he threw to Arthur Brown against K State, that was CLUTCH.

You're an idiot.

I don't know man. I like Wilson. I think him doing well in the Senior Bowl could elevate his stock.

But this stuff about Geno is just typical hater BS. Don't care.

I liked RGII but wouldn't have traded for him because guys like him get hurt. He is a small running QB. He's great in the pocket but, relies too much on his legs right now and will take some time to develop into a true passing NFL QB.... just like Vick.... If his career lasts that long.

He wasn't worth all of those picks imo. I think time will show that. The Falcons didn't come out on top of the Vick trade either.

Why can't we have a decent realistic discussion about Geno on this site? He has a cult like following here. It's not that "out there" for people to like Wilson better. Everyone has an opinion. Just like you have opinion in your post above.

For the record, I like Geno very much but, If I said Geno had bad breath I would be in the red. It's time to grow up guys. We need a QB and there are some smart people here. Let's keep an open mind.

Danan's response: "I don't think so. I haven't seen much of him but I don't think he has a very strong arm." Blah blah blah I forgot what else he said.

But what a ****ing moron. I used to like Hughes until this. ****ing analysts getting paid and not knowing what they're talking about.

is this a joke?

we have a 10,000 post thread discussing every snap of geno's career

this thread is now just a troll thread for people who know nothing about smith other than the fact that Maycock just scolded him for skipping mayock's favorite weekend...and for being an illiterate gang member

and the only thing you know about Smith is that "people say he isn't RG3" your opinion is worth much

Wilson is a legit first round pick but when complete neanderthals like CoMo, RunKC, Frankie, Tomahawk etc are pimping a player you know its best to run far away from him.

I think you'll find that most on this board agrees with you. Sometimes the line between "don't draft a QB/Draft a Qb not named Geno Smith" can get crossed in some people's heads.

I like tyler Wilson. I think he is a good prospect. But his concussion history is a huge red flag. Huge.

By "have a rational discussion" you mean everybody should start getting on board with trading down/trading for Flynn/A Smith/Freeman/passing on a QB just because we have smart people in charge now?

It would be one thing if this were a political discussion where we had a wide spectrum of opinions. This isn't. There are very limited options in how the Chiefs will find a future starting QB. You're one of those people who claims, "I'm not saying we should take Joeckel or trade for a veteran." You also claim you like Geno.

Okay, then. So what's the irrationality in this discussion? I don't ****ing see it anywhere. How can somebody call for realism in a discussion about a specific player and then pooh pooh all the alternatives to drafting said player?

I don't ****ing get it.

about 3 months before the draft he's guaranteeing this? Ask him what the upcoming powerball numbers for the lottery so you can hit the jackpot.

we discussed him all year, not sure what's left to explore

the truth is, right now there is nothing really to say...about any of the top QBs

no one is going to play a real snap in a real game....but perceptions are going to rise and fall on chatter and numbers and generally large amounts of bullshit...things that will effect the opinions of people who never watched the QBs play (runkc and most chiefs fans that call into sports radio)

the Chiefs will make their own evaluations of the QBs, and that will be that

Once the opinions of the "experts" begin to sway (after they talk to teams at the combine of course) so too will the opinion of the fans. It's gonna be funny to watch actually.

It's not racist to question Geno Smith's tendency to force the ball when his team gets down by multi-score margins.

It IS racist to claim he doesn't seem to have much upstairs, and that he "comes off like Jamarcus Russell"

holy shit, brah....you got issues

O.city 01-21-2013 05:18 PM

If he is being told "don't go to the SR. bowl, you are already a top 10 pick" by his agent, I understand not going and instead staying and training. I don't like the idea, wish he would have went to Mobile, but I get it.


So saying he's already a top 10 pick based on what has already occurred, couple things could happen by going to the SR bowl. He could jolt to be the sure first overall pick, or fall out of the top 10. Pre SR bowl, it's pretty much a consensus that he's the top QB in the class.


So like I said, I get not going. If he's also been told he can not go to Mobile, throw at the combine and his prodays to solidify being the first overall pick, again, I get it.


Personally, I would have preferred he go and show everyone that he either is the first pick or isn't.

Has that ever happened? A guy people thought wasnt good enough plays in the senior bowl and all the sudden the haters dissapear?

silver5liter 01-21-2013 05:31 PM

Anyone think that maybe Geno went to IMG because the teams interested can come and actually watch him practice in a situation he has been in for a month, instead of the senior bowl where he will get to practice for a week?

Mr. Laz 01-21-2013 06:48 PM

can Geno Smith become the 1st pick if avoids working out completely?

no senior bowl
no throwing at the combine
no pro day

if he pulls a 'i'm already the 1st pick' and only has a private workout from now until the draft will he have done enough to become the 1st pick?

Fanboi's don't need to answer

O.city 01-21-2013 06:50 PM

I'm sure he'll have a pro day, and likely will throw at the combine.


But to answer your question, unless he's already been told by the Chiefs that they plan on taking him, no I don't see that happening.

Be ok to draft him then?

I doubt he'll throw at the combine. That would likely do more harm than good. He'd have no chemistry with the WRs he'd be throwing to and as a QB, I don't think that's a risk you'd want to take.

Exactly. That's just idiocy.

Andrew Luck had a pro day. Eli Manning had a pro day. Geno Smith will have a pro day.

O.city 01-21-2013 07:02 PM

He may not throw at the combine, probably won't.

I'd say the reason he is at IMB or wherever is that whoever can come in and watch him throw whenever they want.

I don't know, seems like some of the players have been avoiding their school pro days because it's not catered specially for them.

Sometimes they just have their own private workout day.

If he is not going to the bowls etc then what makes you think he will do anything at the combine besides get measured?

He's more likely to run at the combine than throw.

O.city 01-21-2013 07:14 PM

He'll probably do everything at the combine but throw.

Rambozo 01-21-2013 07:24 PM

Throwing at the combine or at a pro day is so overrated it's crazy. It's like watching a model on the runway. If the chick looks good getting out of bed in the morning then she is hot. It's the same type of deal with QBs. The film speaks for itself as far as throwing the ball goes imo.

This is not a knock on Geno. It's a knock on evaluating QBs at the combine or at their pro days.

O.city 01-21-2013 07:29 PM

Eh, the combine and pro days are all about the mental aspect.

This is not a knock on Geno. It's a knock on evaluating QBs at the combine or at their pro days.

I agree, and this is why I think he will throw at both days. For a guy like him (and any really good accuracy QB) its gonna be like shooting fish in a barrel~

Sometimes they just have their own private workout day.

Given that the other top prospects on his team are all WRs, I would imagine he'll just attend his team's pro day. It benefits him and them as well.

good point

throwing to Bailey and Austin benefits them all


in fact he will probably feel obligated to work out for his teammates' draft status too.

Why throw at the combine with WR's you dont know? When you can at his pro day. I would think Geno does everything but throw at the combine. Really no reason to throw, more to lose at that point. But some will question his competitiveness.

Maybe he took a gamble that by staying away from the SR bowl, all the other QB's will shit themselves and he'll rise by happenstance?

There's no gamble.

The only thing he does at the Senior Bowl is hurt his stock and risk potential injury.

I'd rather have him working out full time at IMG with Weinke than jerking it around with a bunch of guys he's never played with for five days.

There's really not much else he needs to prove in terms of what he has and can accomplish on the field in a real time game setting. I think it's a much better thought process to begin working on fine tuning himself for the combine and beyond.

Or cement his status as the #1 QB by looking better than the other QB's with pads on?

Could very well be unnecessary.

Simple fact is none of us know what teams have told him.

Mr_Tomahawk 01-22-2013 06:25 AM

By chance, has is it been said when Geno will have his pro day. Doesn't nfl network show the pro days for top prospects...?

What a ridiculous notion. As a fan of the chiefs you should want a player to go out and prove himself, not a guy worried about his stock slipping.

Prove himself in the SENIOR BOWL?

Talk about ridiculous notions...

Bewbies 01-22-2013 07:21 AM

LMAO

If you're a top 5 pick already you gain nothing by working out in Mobile. Nothing.

a compilation of scout's opinions from April of last year...fyi

Quote:

ROBERT GRIFFIN III Baylor 6-2½ 223 4.36 1

Recruited by some schools as a WR or safety but signed with Houston coach Art Briles as a QB and then followed him to Baylor. "Very impressed in every aspect," one scout said. "Athletically, which is a given because he was a big-time track star in the state of Texas. He carries himself very well. A tremendous leader." Fourth-year junior led Bears to 10-3 season in 2011 and 22-18 mark overall. "He's phenomenal," another scout said. "He's going to need technique work and fundamentals. But you cannot lose the fact that he's got feet, touch downfield with accuracy, a strong arm. He's charismatic and smart as (expletive)." Hails from Copperas Cove, Texas.

"Everybody is just assuming because of the Heisman and the socks and all that bs. . . . they are ignoring a lot of bad tape that he's had," a third scout said. "I don't think he has vision or pocket feel, which to me are the two most important components of quarterbacking. He's just running around winging it. He's (Michael) Vick, but not as good a thrower." Finished with passer rating of 110.1 and 2,254 yards rushing (33 TDs). "He has better arm action and is more accurate with his deep ball, but he's not as good as Cam Newton," a fourth scout said. "As much as is written about his athleticism, his athleticism under duress in the pocket isn't even close to Cam Newton's. This guy, the only way he gets big plays with his feet is if he's got a wide-open field and the sea opens for him. He's got a little bit of a selfish streak, too. Everybody was laying on Cam, but for some reason this guy has become gloves off. He doesn't treat anybody good." Another scout also questioned the way Griffin deals with people.

RUSSELL WILSON Wisconsin 5-10½ 205 4.54 3-4

"You've got to have a plan and a package for him," one scout said. "I put him in the fifth round, but he's a hell of an athlete. Third round would not surprise me. At all. But there's only been one Doug Flutie." Measured under 5-11 at the Senior Bowl and combine, a full 1 1/2 inches shorter than Drew Brees. "Someone will give him a look-see," said Reiprish. "We're talking about Drew Brees being borderline short. He's a solid player in a good offense that's pretty quarterback-friendly when you can run the ball the way they do. This kid's athletic. I'd be just guessing as to what he can do." Started for three seasons at North Carolina State, graduated and posted one of the best seasons ever by a Badgers QB. "He's been one of my favorite players to watch," one scout said. "He was the best interview out of the 60 guys we had (at the combine). It wasn't even close. I think he's got a chance, I really do." Wonderlic of 28, passer rating of 101.7. From Richmond, Va. "Everything they do they have to five- and seven-step drop and shotgun so he has space to see anything," another scout said. "He can't do the three-step passing game, OK? That's a problem. Awesome guy. Great story. If guys like Seneca Wallace can be a No. 2, so can he."
