Geno Smith fans roll call

[RealSNR]

NEW THREAD HEADER (11/17/12):

The list is gone. We will all be Geno Smith fans when he gets drafted by the Chiefs. For historical documentation's sake, I'll keep the list in a separate post on this thread: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...postcount=3314

WHY GENO SMITH?
If you're wondering if Geno Smith is right for you, check out this brilliant post by Saccopoo:

Next, we have a few GIFs you may be interested in from the Oklahoma game. Insane potential. These are the elite throws that very few QBs can make. What more can I say? Geno Smith can be a franchise QB in the NFL, and the Chiefs need to take a shot on him.

GIF #3 (My favorite):

HOW DO WE GET HIM HERE?

Glad you asked. I posted this checklist earlier. It probably belongs in the thread header, and will be updated as the Chiefs close out their season and start a new chapter in their franchise story.

Preparing for Geno Smith's Arrival In KC Checklist

1. [X] Lose games and acquire the #1 overall pick
2. [X] Get Pioli and the Patriot Way cronies the **** out
3. [X] Hire new GM/coach

OPTIONAL (but highly recommended):
4. [ ] Re-sign/tag Bowe, who really wants to play in KC with Geno
5. [ ] Re-sign/tag Albert

He looks like the real deal. I would say he's the pick. How others can't see his talent is mind-boggling.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Dumbshits keep trying to compare him to the hype of Luck. Trying to hold guys to the standards of once in a decade type prospects if ****ing reeruned.

If he has a Russel Wilson type impact we are gold and he's certainly a better prospect than Russ.

[NJChiefsFan]

I've seen people talk about the system he is in and how many of his yards come after the catch. Just watch the guy. Forget the stats, those that go against him AND those that help him. Just watch him in the pocket. His mechanics. The accuracy he has for every throw you can make, and the strong throws he makes to the sideline, which I enjoy more then the rest.

Guy didn't win a BCS title, or a Heisman, or even a bowl game this year. Hell, he didn't even play great in that game. But when you watch his overall play and more importantly, what throws he is capable of making, I just don't see how he isn't the best QB prospect. We need a QB in a QB league, so I really am going to be surprised if we don't take him.

40-yard throw on the money.

I can't think of one 40-yard throw Cassel made here in 4 years that was that good.

Me neither.

And Geno made dozens of those just this season.

But he took 2 safeties in one game!!! That means he sucks!!

Question to all those against drafting Smith, will you be pissed if we do? How long are you willing to give him before you wanna move on?

C'mon O...don't invite the mongoloids and petri dish reerun clone babies back into this thread.

Anyone against drafting Geno Smith is a ****ing moron. Argument over.

[O.city]

I just wanna hear some other perspective.


I don't want the first QB we draft in the first round in 30 years to get 2 preseason games to determine his worth.

And won't this just be the irony of the fan base. They will give Cassel 4 years, hell some want to give him next year, but whatever QB we draft will not be given an inch to grow.

There are no other perspectives.

There are no other options.

The Chiefs draft Geno because he's a total ****ing kick ass quarterback and he starts for the next 15 years, wins four Super Bowls and is a first ballot Hall of Famer.

That's the only perspective there is.

And there is absolutely zero argument that can be made for any other player in this draft for the Chiefs. Geno Smith is it. Period. End of story.

The refs botched that play twice.

Geno has some really amazing instincts that you either have or you don't.

Come on. I like Geno too, but I'll admit that that was a bad play by Geno. There was no reason to keep backing up. If anything, he should have stepped up. There's no reason to back up INTO your own end zone. He had space to either just step up and throw, or step up and run to his right or left.

I think you give any drafted qb three years.

Rookie year gets tons of leeway.
Soph year needs to show improvement.
Junior year they need to be competing heavily and if not, bench him for someone else.

Matt cassel had a few games stretch against a terrible NFC west in 2010, but for the way he ended the season, he didn't really deserves to come back as the proclaimed starter with only Palko as competition.

And, pray tell, where was he going to step up into?

And, if you had taken the time to see the clip, he was running to his left when he got leg whipped. Eh?

I don't believe he had space to either step up, or run to his right or left.

The only avenue he had for escape was going backwards.

I would argue however, that the smart decision there is either simply throw the ball away or step up into the sack in the field of play.

I don't really think he could have came up in the pocket, atleast that late in the play. The LT was in his lap.


He should have known to get it out quick there to get out of the shadow of the EZ.


It's a knock I actually have on him, he holds it a little to long at times. It's not a bad horrible thing cause he holds it trying to make bigger plays down the field.


I'd like to see him just take what the defense gives him a little more. When you watch the best QB's in the NFL, ala Rodgers, Manning etc, they aren't chucking it down the field deep all the time. They read defenses and take whats given.

Just take the underneath routes if they are playing deep, put a drive together and take your time.
