It has only been a recent phenomonom for QBs to start right away and be expected to excel from the very first game.
Prior to the last couple of years, even if QBs were asked to start right away, everyone recognized that there should be a development period.
QBs were drafted high because they had the potential to excel, in time.
Almost every draft expert agrees that Geno has potential.
But now, they downgrade him, and Barkley, and others, because they might not excel immediately.

OK, well I agree with most of that. The only part I might have disagreement on is whether the Chiefs front office is smart enough to see it too. I think they are and I think that after taking that into consideration, if they think highly enough of Geno Smith or any other QB, they'll draft him. Maybe you agree and we don't disagree at all.
