Would you rather be 8-0 with Alex Smith or 3-5 with Geno?

[-King-]

Our offense is terrible with Alex Smith. It would likely be worse with Geno given his propensity to turn the ball over and give the other teams points through pick 6s and returned fumbles for TDs. So seeing as how we barely win with the offense we have now, we'd have likely lost more than a few games if we had Geno as our QB.

But would you rather take those growing pains with Geno, or be 8-0 with Alex and be in the driver seat toward a first round bye in the playoffs?

So it's probably not unfair to say at least 4-4.

However, this isn't in a vacuum. If you're going to treat it like one... Geno isn't the only QB we'll ever be able to draft. He wasn't even taken in the 1st round. If you were talking about someone like Andrew Luck, then it might be better long term to be 3-5 with him. But you could say that the Chiefs can go 8-0 now and still acquire a similar talent in the late 1st round of the upcoming draft. Unless you believe that none of the QB's in the next 2-3 drafts are anywhere near Geno Smith, and you think Geno is an Andrew Luck type talent.

Great take on it.

People saying Geno would be better here because of Reid are ignoring the fact that Reid didn't even want him in the first place. So maybe Reid knew that Geno wouldn't be good in the first place even with this coaching staff and team.

If the Chiefs had the ball at the 45 with 7 seconds to go and no TO's with a field goal to win you shut the TV off? No. Not one mother ****er on the board says it's over, you bitch.

Geno will always be second rate. Get over it

Geno sitting on the bench learning the offense behind Alex VS RT Fisher should be the poll.

Chiefs still give up 12.3. Still looks like we would be winning.

Geno's numerous pick 6's and turnovers putting the defense in bad positions would greatly inflate that number.

Poll fail.

We wouldn't be 3-5 with him. At worst we would be 5-3.

The level of talent on NY is t even close to the level of talent we have in KC.

This defense and special teams could absorb a few turnovers.

If the question is "would you rather be 5-3 with Geno or 8-0 with Alex Smith" I'd have to chose option a.

Geno might throw some picks (some are just stupid, some are reasonable rookie mistakes) but he also tests defenses by attacking all parts of the field, not just throws within 5 yards of the LOS. Avery was past his man and open for long tds twice yesterday and Fasano was wide open in the endzone.

Personally, I think this team would be rallying around the kid BIG TIME if we had drafted him and that our running game would be far more effective because teams would need to play us honest.

I know. It's bad to have patience in a rookie QB.

It is what it is. I'm happy with the direction of the team, but I would loved to have seen Geno under Reids coaching staff and with the talent we have in KC.

This poll is worth trolling.

good post. the only thing I would add is that if Geno Smith was behind this OL he'd probably be crap.

Once again, you have to add in the points that Geno directly contributes to by his pick 6s and other turnovers.
