It's apparent that you didn't understand my argument.

No, I understand it. It's the one we keep hearing on the radio -- that the best quarterback in the draft should be drafted no matter the draft position and that no GM is risking the pick because they are afraid. The risk/reward analysis is valid, I think, in most years. It's just NO ONE thinks Geno Smith is all that good.

Because it's not just the GM's who are passing. Everyone who seems to know anything about the sport simply is not enthusiastic about Geno Smith. I'm very sorry, as you seem to be personally invested in being right about him.

No, most people seem to agree that the two LT's are superior.

I mean it when I say I don't think any team would take a QB if they had the first pick. You say you've got to take a chance. You are, no matter who you pick. Reid took a chance trading for AS. I think they take a lot into consideration before making a pick this high, you have to. Your kind of asking them to draft like Al Davis, take the flashiest player available, whoever wows you. It usually doesn't go so well. You'd take Geno and that's fine. I'm saying the people who have researched more and have met with these players and have forgotten more about them than anyone on CP will ever know about them, aren't sold on these QBs this high. |

Geno plays the position that has the highest potential of making a difference for the team to actually get some where, and he is the best of those playing that position, available in the draft.
The excuse "most think he is not good enough," is just the latest in a long line of excuses not to take a chance on achieving excellence at the risk of failing at mediocrity. |

Never seen a QB with a 71% completion rating get shit on so much as a prospect.

I assume you're the guy who gets dealt pocket Kings preflop and folds under the gun because your odds of winning the hand are less than everyone else combined.
