I'll be perfectly honest with you.

The only way I would ever want the Jaguars to take Geno, is if I knew for a fact we would end up with the #1 to take Clowney next year. Because if we can't get Clowney, I want Bridgewater, bad.

Bridgewater will be exactly like Geno. Last year, Geno put up great numbers, won alot of games. Then, once he becomes overanalyzed, all the talking heads will say he's not worth a first round pick for some reason.

Bridgewater has a lot of tangibles that Geno doesn't. He has an ever stronger arm with a crazy fast release, and is great running on the throw. He is also a good runner though they don't do options much in Lousville. He also plays a lot under center. If he had Austin and Bailey this year his numbers would have been insane.

I doubt it'll be similar to what it is with Geno. Louisville's playing absolutely nobody next year. Ohio, Eastern Kentucky, Kentucky, FIU, Houston, Temple, Cincinnati, UConn, South Florida, Central Florida, Memphis and Rutgers. He should have a mammoth season against that line-up and they shouldn't lose many (or any) games.

As far as Geno goes, several of us were talking about him in the 2012 draft thread as a name to watch for 2013. I know I expected him to have huge numbers against Big XII defenses, and as it turns out he did. I thought they'd compete for the league, but I underestimated just how bad WVU's defense was going to be. Not that I expected it to be good. Just good enough to stay on top in shootouts.

They eek out those two 1-point losses and he's on a 9-win team, likely on the stage for the Heisman ceremony and less of a perceived reach in the early first.

Judging by that stuff, I guess some of you are huge liars, because you told me how accurate Tyler Wilson was.

And honestly, I'm tired of debating the whole Geno thing. I don't really give a shit if we draft him or not at this point. Kinda hope we don't and he goes on to be really successful, while we trot out a retread who wins a few games here and there. As a lifelong Chiefs fan, thats all I know, and I love it.

I've been trying to uncover all of Geno's Sophomore games. Having a difficult time doing so. But considering the recent study that came out, I'd love to see if there is any difference in Geno's Sophomore games statistically because he ran a pro style offense than there is when he ran the Holgorsen spread.

So Geno's system calls for him to throw it short more than any of the others, yet he is more accurate than all but one in throwing to all the areas of the field?

Let's get something straight. He throws more SCREENS than any other QB. Tyler Wilson throws it short more than any other QB (actually Barkley does but he doesn't count cause he's another USC P.O.S.). Shallow cross all day. That is Tyler Wilson.

Glennon is by far the superior prospect. Lets try and trade out of the first round, gaining some picks and see if hopefully he falls to the 2nd round.


If he doesn't, oh well, we really wanted him, but didn't have a chacne to get him.

What about the other areas, where he's dogshit? You know, the areas where the majority of NFL throws occur?

His accuracy in the intermediate range is not what I thought it would be and could very well be a problem and I think for him the drop percentage is a slight benefactor (Cobi Hamilton sucks), though this holds true for Glennon more than anybody. He by far had the most drops with over 8%.


Something I found very interesting was that Geno threw into double coverage about 3x more than all the QB's and his 4th quarter yards nosedived on this chart.


If anything, this chart doesn't prove that we should draft Geno. It doesn't prove that we should draft Wilson either. It proves that Glennon and Barkley are the guys to look at.

I'm not the biggest Barkley fan, but I would not be mad at all if we took him at 1. I don't think he's getting enough credit.

And I really think that this class is getting a bad rep for no good reason. I think Geno, Wilson and Barkley will be good starters for years. Hell I think Glennon will be a so-so guy as well.

I think Dysert has the chance to be a decent Kirk Cousins like guy as well.
