Okay...let's get this straight.
Steve Young was a freak. He was the size of a fullback, with speed, yet had amazing accuracy with his arm.
Cam Newton and Tim Tebow are like this, but have no real accuracy with the arm. But both are total gamers.
Mike Vick has a huge arm and is amazingly fast. Not accurate and makes bad decisions. Not a big build.
RGIII is a smart version of Vick. I wonder about his longevity as he's already had one concussion this year and the team is trying to get him to limit his runs out of the pocket. It was my big concern about Griffin coming out.
Luck, Bradford, and Ponder are all the same type of QB. Nice athleticism, good (not great) arm, head for the game.
Rogers has a very live arm with good athleticism that he uses when it's needed.
Cutler and Stafford are pure pocket passers with cannons.
Eli Manning, Alex Smith, Matt Ryan are heady QB's with okay arms that are very accurate.
If I was trying to associate Geno Smith with a current NFL quarterback, I'd put him in with Aaron Rogers. He's that type of player with that level of upside. He's being looked at by the pundits as almost the same type of player at the same level going into the draft.
I'm okay with that as a potential QBOTF for the Chiefs.
