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

Hes shown he can run an nfl offense. He hasn't shown nearly enough that he can do it as masterfully as you need to on the pro level. Hence, the risk factor.

So do you want this guy to Peyton Manning year 7 right out of the gate?

No one will be. No one should be expected him to be.

I believe he will struggle early. I also have confidence his work ethic will enable him to grow as a qb.

It's everyone else here who seem to paint him as this nfl ready prospect who can compete for rookie of the year from the get go. I'm actually the one being realistic here.

I think the same haters who hated RGIII are hating on Geno Smith and for the same reasons, except people thought RGIII was run-first.

Don't tell me he can't run a pro offense. I have seen his ability to diagnose a play at the line of scrimmage. The dude has a high football IQ. He needs to improve at diagnosing as the play develops a little, but Geno has all the tools that aren't coachable and has high coachability.

So what is Geno Smith? A poor man's RG3? A rich man's Russell Wilson?

The problem with this board is being critical to a popular guy is called hating.

Nobody is hating on geno.

And no... RgIII was a far better prospect. Genos a good one. But rgIII was maybe the best qb prospect we've seen outside of luck in almost 10 years. And most people knew that.

Lets stop the comparisons to rgIII. They are different prospects.

We're not saying that. We're saying he's going to be a really good QB in the NFL.

Quit acting like you're above the fray just because you're willing to shit on Geno for little tiny things.

Geno will be a rookie QB. Luck is a rookie QB and has looked like absolute feces at times. Do people think he's going to be a terrible QB? Hell no. He looks that way because he's a ****ing rookie QB.

Don't paint us all as this dumbass mob. It's disingenuous and ****ing false.

We've discussed this before. Im cool with you. You told me you are more optimistic about the guy but you understand my concerns. Even if you're his biggest fan.

But when somebody is going to basically call me an idiot because I acknowledge the risk, I'm going to defend myself.

The only thing I took offense on was saying that he has "major bust potential".

The reasons given for the claim were as silly as Pioli trying to sell the fanbase on Cassel as a franchise qb.

He does have major bust potential. But he also have a very high ceiling, something I don't see in Barkley. Something I never saw in cam and still don't because I still don't believe he is a leader.

I think he's boom bust. Barkley is sure fire "good enough." I'll take boom / bust any day of the week.

[Mr. Laz]

imo Geno Smith is the very definition of Boom or Bust.

HUGE upside ... elite arm ... elite downfield accuracy



or he could be Byron Leftwich


To be fair though, the position has such a high demand on intangibles that just about any QB prospect can bust. It's difficult to judge until they hit the NFL field.

It keeps getting worse.

Look guys, I wouldbe ok with saying he has significant bust potential IF LEGIT REASONS WERE GIVEN FOR SUCH.

The ONLY comparison Geno has to Leftwich is color.

[Hammock Parties]

Byron Leftwich takes 5 seconds to windup.

Geno has a snap delivery.

Leftwich was a player just had absolutely NO mobility and took a beating that ruined him
