Stafford has the strongest arm in the league, almost certainly. He also had multiple years playing at a very good level against the toughest defenses the SEC had to offer. In his final year, he was extremely impressive.

Geno Smith has never been extremely impressive. He's very up and down, which hopefully our coaches could correct. He has extremely impressive tools, and he seems like a good guy, but his on the field product is much, much worse than Stafford's was, and against weaker defenses.

Edit: It's also worth noting that Geno was playing with multiple NFL caliber receivers. Tavon Austin is probably a first rounder. To my knowledge, Stafford did not have that.
