ROFL @ your takes, Zilla.

You post as if you have never seen Geno Smith extend plays with his mobility or his pocket awareness.

It's beyond silly.

For a #1 qb, you are basing off a very low sample size against defenses that aren't exactly elite. It is an assumption that because he carved up Oklahoma, that means he can carve up the texans.

Exactly. The kid has shown consistency and ability to maintain top level play over the course of 3 years starting.

Jfc.

I have said geno can do those things. He can't rely on that as his primary crutch. Big Ben can. RgIII can. Geno HAS to succeed by being exceptional at reading defenses quickly. Period.

Extending a play either because of sheer size and strength or speed has nothing to do with reading a defense.

And BR and RGIII can read defenses.

How about last year against LSU? Texas this year?

If you are gonna say he has played mostly cupcake defense, thats ok...the kid plays in a conference that isnt known for defense....but you also cant discount the games he has played very well against good defenses by touting "small sample size" either.

Big Ben is notorious for holding the ball way too long. He would be an average qb if he wasn't so good at extending plays. RgIII can too - I am saying that with his elusiveness and ability to read on the run and throw on the run, he didn't have to be elite at quick reads. He is going to be unstoppable if he becomes elusive and terrific at quick reads, and I think he's on his way to doing that.

You can't seem to understand one simple concept.

I don't ****ing care if RGIII isn't a bust because of his elte running skills.

He isn't ever going to lead a team to the SB because of his elite running skills.

He, like every other QB that has won a SB, will have to lead his team to the SB from the pocket.


I don't give a rat's ass if he wins a few extra games because he can run.

I don't want a Michael Vick.

I want a Steve Young.

What? He put his team in position to win multiple times vs OU and TCU, both good teams.

OU was the 12th rated defense and have 2 first round caliber DB's and Geno torched them. TCU has a nice DB prospect in Jason Verett (5 INT's this year) and Geno torched him too at the end of the game for a TD.

TCU, TTU, KSU and OU were all good defenses that Geno has played this year. And he made good throws on an insanely talented LSU defense last year.

That is something that can be said about ANY QUARTERBACK that will lead his team to a championship.

Tell me the last time a team won a championship with a QB that couldnt be effective staying in the pocket or reading defenses.

Ill wait right here.

I am not discounting them. I am saying there isn't enough evidence to say he is surely going to succeed against elite nfl defenses. We are assuming. I ASSUME he can because I think he has football iq and work ethic. But I know it is an assumption and that he hasn't proven it on the college level nearly enough. Hence, the risk.

I've said QUICK reads.

Big Ben. Aaron Rodgers.

Elite qbs. Both have a tendency to hold the ball way too long.

That was easy.

All of this is true for every single player at every single position who enters the NFL draft.

You are so full of shit.

Geno Smith is putting up comparable numbers against the same competition, with a far inferior cast around him that RGIII had.

You sir, are a ****ing reerun.

Geno Smith makes some of the quickest reads IVE EVER SEEN.
