Smith could actually afford to take a few more chances, as he doesn’t make a ton of big plays. Part of this could be West Virginia’s offensive scheme, but he should take more shots downfield.
This seems to sum up all his cons. I don't hate Geno but he has cons like every QB in this draft.

"primary option" A lot of times that is his best option as they get open that is why they become his "primary option" He gets rid of the ball quick enough and they make plays that way. A guy does't have to go through his reads if he is moving the chains and have successful scoring drives. Geno Smith was pretty good at that.
I fail to see that being much of a flaw. When a QB can deliver a ball to the "primary option" on a consistent basis, that is a good thing. Plays are designed to get the ball to the "primary otpion" arn't they?
If his "primary option" is getting open frequently then why does he need to go through all his options?
