Geno Smith, the West Virginia quarterback, is about the same dimensions as Robert Griffin III (6-foot-3, 215), but not quite as mobile. As far as production, Smith is matching, and exceeding, RGIII early in his career. The stat line for Smith -- first for his starts in the 2012 regular season, then for his stats in all games played in 2012.

I spoke with two veteran personnel men Saturday night after Smith's incredible eight-touchdown, six-incompletion game against Baylor. "It's early,'' said one general manger whose team will be scouting quarterbacks this fall. "I haven't seen him in person yet. But I saw most of this game [against Baylor] and what's impressive is his downfield accuracy. He doesn't have the mobility Griffin has, but he has very good arm strength, and when he leaves the pocket, he can make people miss.''

Another scout said it's way too early to tell whether Smith has passed Matt Barkley of USC atop the quarterback boards of NFL teams. "But I know when he went to the Manning camp in Louisiana in July, he impressed everyone with his play and his presence,'' the scout said. "He's the kind of guy who takes control of a huddle and gets guys to play for him.''
