Why Geno Smith fell in the draft
I've seen a couple other posts about this... but this probably deserves it's own thread considering how many hours we've wasted arguing about the guy. This is the first article I've seen theorizing why Geno fell in the draft. Time will tell whether it's accurate.

IIRC, at the time, Flacco was considered a reach.

and no one on this board wanted them or would have they are both the ****ing definition of what Chiefs fan define as risky they sure as hell weren't "Luck or RGIII"...which is the stated reason we couldn't draft a QB this year

Absolutely. Although I think this is an interesting discussion. This wasn't just a Rodgers or Brady Quinn situation. This was a guy considered by many a top 10 talent at the prime position that almost fell to mid-2nd round. I can't think of too many times that's happened.

I am not a Geno Smith fan, but Flacco being drafted at 18 was a reach at the time.

this board has been littered with people telling us we can't draft QBs that aren't 'guarantees' like Luck and RGIII and neither Flacco or Rodgers were...and NO ONE was advocating for them you're wrong again

Hahaha
The guy transferred to Delaware because he couldn't win the starters job over another guy at Pittsburgh. I'll give you some time to look up who that quarterback was. |

by the definitions used on this board regularly, Flacco and Rodgers were risks

Emotion can blur judgement. I think that the combination of this being the shittiest year for top 5 drafts picks ever along with us not drafting a 1st roud QB in years pushed people a little further into the emotional realm. |

I also understand Reid and Dorsey have absolutely nothing to do with the previous 30 years in KC. Nothing, nada, zip, zilch. Those simple facts separates the people with brains from the people who just want something so bad they think they can imagine it into fruition. Its kind of like having apposable thumbs.... or not. |

QB-hating homers:
"You can't judge a draft class until 3 years have passed. Also, GENO SMITH SUCKS HAAHAHAHAHAAHAHA."

A "Risky" move is JaMarcus Russel, Ryan Leaf, Cam Newton (Who hasn't actually won anything yet) etc..... |

Tell that to Troy Aikman and Jeff George. They were both taken with the #1 overall pick despite transferring. Hahaha |
