Why Geno Smith fell in the draft
I've seen a couple other posts about this... but this probably deserves it's own thread considering how many hours we've wasted arguing about the guy. This is the first article I've seen theorizing why Geno fell in the draft. Time will tell whether it's accurate.

Because I give Alex Smith about a 1% chance of leading this team deep into and winning in playoffs year in and year out over the next 5 years. Any signs of success even at 8-8 just prolongs the emphasis and finding someone else to play QB. I'd rather be 2-14 again than 8-8 this year. Alex needs to suck and suck royally and I believe he can although this cupcake schedule we have doesn't help matters.

So because he's black he MUST get out of the pocket? That's ludicrous.

Possibly, but they would have a better chance of being good in the long term. I would have still sat one of them for a year anyways and brought in Flynn, Palmer, or Kolb for a year since they were basically given away for late round picks. Use that 2nd on a player that can help the team in the long term.

Boyd sucks. But go back and watch some YouTube on McCarron, he looks like a different player when you focus in on him. Arm, accurate, right size, nice swagger. Watching Alabama games last year live, you swear he is a game manager turd but he is actually a very good quarterback prospect.

Not anymore than I would have given James Kilian. If they were going to throw numbers at the position than I might be a little more excited with Bray, but they didn't even do that. I understand people are dug into their position and they aren't going to believe until they see it with their own eyes for about a month or two. Last edited by BigCatDaddy; 05-03-2013 at 12:30 PM.. |

I would have felt better with a guy like Jones or Barkley AND Bray. Maybe let those two battle it out for #2 and #3. Having Chase Daniel at the backup is a waste of a roster spot. |

Further proving my point that people here would rather lose with Alex Smith so they could attempt to be right about Geno.

Of course it's possible Ryan could be fired and a bangup new coaching staff will be brought in and they could decide to stick with vaGeno and could be successful stocking the team with talent again and he could grow up and turn into a good QB. But aren't the chances more likely that vaGeno will have to land with another team first? Any potential replacement coaching staff would presumably have NFL experience and this probably belong to one of the staffs that this year passed on vaGeno at least once, possibly two or more times. What are the chances they will stick with a Rex Ryan leftover? A new coach usually wants to select his own QB. They especially don't want to inherit one with maturity problems. vaGeno's best chance might be to wash out in New York as quickly as possible, strange as it seems. |

I'd rather lose with Alex and move on quickly for the search for that guy that's going to be a top 10 QB in the league for the next decade rather than waste 3-4 years spinning our wheels. |
