Re: Hi Gaz


Hi SR-

Good to hear from you. We are fine & I hope you are well, too.

Heh. Like almost everything on the Planet, Geno is such a polarizing subject. Amazing to me how emotionally invested folks are in opposing opinions about a football player. I've seen political & religious conversations with less heat.

I think Smith is probably the QB prospect that is most ready for the NFL right now. But he is also the best QB in a very , VERY lean QB draft year. Whatever college QB rises to the top of the "must draft" lists always becomes larger than life. His strengths & flaws are magnified & obsessively examined. And then they are blown completely out of proportion. I think Geno Smith is the best of a lesser lot & is being hyped way out of proportion to his ability.

Had we not traded for Alex Smith, I would not have been horrified by Geno at #1. We needed a QB & it has been so long since we drafted & developed our own homegrown. But I still thought that OL or DL was more critical. I know OL in the First Round is anathema to a lot of fans, but you gotta secure the line. I think we should go for a Offensive Tackle or someone who can bring a pass rush. I know that would be chum in the water at the Planet. Blood would flow & people would disrespect my Mother.

Personally [and I know the Planet consensus would be that I am an idiot for this opinion], I think the "franchise QB" is a myth. Folks talk about Manning or Elway or Flacco winning a game all by themselves & try to rank QBs by comparing their win/loss records. QBs don't win games. Teams win games. Offense, Defense, Coaching & Luck [no pun intended]. Look at Elway before Sharpe & Davis.

So, this was a very long-winded way of saying that without the Alex Smith trade, I would have preferred an Offensive Tackle or Defensive Lineman or MAYBE a Linebacker in the First & a QB in the 2nd. If I were King, Geno Smith would not have been on my draft list. With the trade, it looks more & more likely that I am going to get what I wanted. And we'll see how good my prognosticating skills are this season.

Have fun, man.

xoxo~

Where's the poll?

Your and idiot for this opinion.

I always respected Gaz's opinions, even though I also always believed that he was one of the biggest pussies I've ever encountered.

But he is as wrong as he can be on this.

Teams win games.

But QBs are the difference between good teams and championship teams.

No QB? No chance, so there is no "myth" surrounding the importance of a franchise QB.

That said, I haven't given a mother**** about Geno Smith in well over a month. The Chiefs aren't drafting him, and I don't care what ends up happening to him.

I have a feeling these are just two of many posts that illustrate why he doesn't post here anymore.

Let's not go overboard here...

That, combined with the fact that he's a vagina.

I think it has more to due with the fact he doesn't care to argue for argument's sake...

No size 4 Garamond...FAIL.

It's a combination.

GAZ probably had thin skin. And ChiefsPlanet's atmosphere has become occasionally unbearable.

Gaz told us he was going out for cigarettes and then he never came back. I have abandonment issues now that keep me from forming positive relationships with new posters in my life.

And within 3 posts the geno mafia rears its head ass first and threatens to scratch eyes and pull hair. You guys remind me of my 8 year old niece who doesn't understand why Justin Beeber isn't gay yet.

Well it's time for him to come back because this place caters to vaginas these days.
