I just heard an interview with him yesterday morning where he was saying he doesn't care what the fans and media think.
Liar. |

So far, I think Cp got it right and got it wrong. I wanted to draft geno at 1.1. When his stock plummeted, I felt there was a reason and the stories about his attitude didn't sound good.
What I don't understand is why the geno Smith crowd continues to defend him. If the Chiefs didn't like his attitude, they should have drafted ej Manuel. |

If the question needs to be asked and he gives an answer that he "doesn't care" then it's blatantly obvious that he does. You only get asked that question anyways if you're stinking up the joint, which Geno does on a regular basis. |

I endorsed Geno #1 overall. Combine that with the Clausen cheerleading, CP has serious egg on its face. However, I think CP would have taken Bridgewater, so we're not all bad. |

CP would take any QB available every year. It's not hard to claim you'd win a raffle by buying every ticket.

I'm saving this post for ever. The vitriol that was spewed in the months leading up to that draft, the chiefs not taking Geno Smith at 1.1, and all the hellfire that resulted on this forum was ridiculous. All the posters that said the chiefs need to take a shot, because that is what winning teams do, blah, blah, blah. They were wrong about Sanchez, wrong about Claussen, wrong about EJ Manual, and wrong about Geno Smith. Hell, looks like they were wrong about how great Washington was for putting so much on the line to land a winner like RJ3.

The problem is, with Clausen and geno, we pretend to know how the interviews and scouting on the mental side goes. Perfect examples of it. We are good at understanding player measurables but we are poorly informed to understand a players football iq, attitude, and character. |

I wanted Smith. I heard about his lack of maturity and thought he was still worth the risk. I was wrong. I've grown fond of Alex Smith. I know he isn't the best QB in the world, but I appreciate the way he takes care of the ball and his leadership. I'm still in favor of drafting a QB early though.

I think he would of done better elsewhere. New York is a big stage and super shitty fans. They make us look like angels.
He has the talent, needs a proper coach and veteran teammates guiding him. Still an open book on how he will turn out. |

I agree with a potential fine, because real football players don't yell at fans when frustrated. They beat their wives, girlfriends, fiances, and blitz their children when they are selfish with video games.

The league saw what CP refused to see, that he had an underwhelming senior season when he wasn't playing in the Big East anymore, that his attitude is poor, that he doesn't read defenses well, he showed up at the combine acting like a self-important jerk, that he interviewed poorly and was texting during interviews or whatever it meeting it was... It was a near dictionary-type example of groupthink. Everyone disregarded all red flags about their Geno at 1.1 position. Stereotyped and repressed all dissent. Name calling and labeling of anyone who expressed resevation. Consistent white-knighting of the leaders of the movement in all the Geno threads. etc. The Geno Mafia operated sort of like that kind of an enterprise. Come out against Geno at 1.1 and you're a "true fan" who is going to get the bats. The league had vaGeno measured out as a second round pick, and it turns out he was overdrafted, even at #39 overall. Even the Jets passed on him with their first two picks. The war against the truth here, that people in NFL front offices really do know more about football than the drafturbators do, has been lost. |
