As a QB prospect coming out of college, Geno Smith is greater than...?

[RealSNR]

Poll forthcoming.

Remember, we're talking about these players as prospects. I don't care what has happened to Jay Cutler or Brady Quinn or Aaron Rodgers. If you think those QBs had more to work with as potential pros, then check them off.

Plus they'd acquire both for the same round picks the Faid dealt for a broken Palmer

[BossChief]

And half the draft compensation Washington gave up for RG3/Cousins.

They have made a lot of comments and actions that Indicate they are seriously interested in drafting him.

Especially John Dorseys bit on drafting Rodgers and sitting him for 3 years and "they will do it again if they have to"

To me, that meant they would take him at 1 if they can't trade down.

Just wow. You are trying to fit square pegs into round holes because you think it will actually work.

Lol at the 4 who picked Luck

These people actually think he's better than Andrew Luck.

If ANYBODY ever deserved the ignore feature it would be these people or we can just chalk it up to them being idiots.

Luck had a ridiculously overrated rookie season, but he was a much better prospect than Geno. As was RG3. So I have no idea why you are lumping me in with those people. I have been getting shit on this forum for months for saying Geno isn't as good as many here think.

In other words I am saying you're a ****ing reerun who just wanted to type my name for eroticy reasons.

He's lumping you in with them because you voted that Geno is a better prospect coming out of college than Luck, you ****ing idiot.

Some of the players people are saying Geno is a better prospect than coming out are absolutely hilarious.

I think people are forgetting how good of a prospect some of these guys were.


No way is Geno Smith a better prospect than Alex Smith.


It didn't turn out that way but still

I don't see how you could say he's a better prospect than Brady Quinn either.

Sure you could.

I agreed when it came to a QB like Matt Leinart. That's where your observation applies, but not on wet farts like Brady Quinn, who always was a wet fart and will always be a wet fart.

Brady Quinn got run because he was on NBC all the time, and the national media likes to fellate Notre Dame. Quinn can't touch the QB Geno is, then or now.

I don't remember much of Alex at Utah outside of them going undefeated and running the spread before it became super popular.

I watched Alex a ton in college.

He's not the prospect Geno is at the same stage. Geno has a better arm, better ball placement on deep throws, better size, better pocket awareness, better timing.

Alex Smith was a legit first rounder with very good accuracy, very smart, exceptionally hard worker, good athleticism and good footwork. He just doesn't have the arm and subsequent accuracy on his deep balls to throw open receivers and take the top of the defense. He was worth a second round pick to get this team respectable sooner rather than later, but he's doesn't/didn't have the tools Geno does at the same stage.

Alex Smith was the first overall pick in the draft by the 9ers for one reason.

The Yorks felt that he would be easier to sign than Aaron Rodgers.

I do remember his detractors saying Alex's success had more to do with Urban Meyer than what Alex himself was able to accomplish when he was drafted. Actually, I heard that more in subsequent years rather than right when he was drafted....

I remember watching a special on Rodgers and how he didn't hide his disappointment that the Niners passed on him. I respected him for being honest about it. Most guys would have said "I'm just happy to get drafted", but Aaron flat out said he wanted to play for San Fran and was pissed when they passed on him.

And how do you miss on a guy of Rodgers' ability and potential, especially when he's playing college ball literally in your back yard?

Better size? Alex Smith is and was bigger and taller.
