Smith finally faced a decent defense and wasn't the same guy people thought he was against Baylor. He played well against Texas, but that's a team where some of the parts are better than the entire unit.
He has 3 more games against good D's - Kansas State (this week), Oklahoma and Iowa State, and one game against an okay D in TCU. TT set up the gameplan to beat Smith - jam the receivers and run the risk that he beats you deep. So far, he isn't a good deep passer. He struggles when he has to put air under the ball. The good thing about this season is that Smith has a half a season against good competition to cement being the #1 pick in the draft, or falling like every other QB this year.

Geno Smith has been absolute gold putting air under the ball. He's been hitting receivers in stride deep all season. Guys in tight double coverage and he's hitting them in stride 40-50 yards downfield. What the **** have you been not watching? Have you even seen a single West Virginia game the past three seasons? |

Right now, he's still a good prospect, but: 1) When he has to get air under the ball he struggles. 2) When he has to move in the pocket, or outside, he panics a bit.

What in the hell are you watching? This is absolutely inconsistent with my observations. He has a more accurate deep ball than RG3 and terrific poise in the pocket even under pressure. He RARELY stares at the rush, typically only when someone comes completely free. I have watched several hours of this kid and I can tell that you are completely off-base here.

Poise in the pocket? Did you watch the last two games when he was under pressure?

I watched both games and I saw someone who was consistently looking downfield unless someone came completely free. I saw him taking hits to deliver throws. I have watched his LSU youtube video three times and seen the exact same stuff. You are wrong about this.
