Smith is a pure pocket guy. He is athletic, but he doesn't seem to venture from the pocket very often. He has solid mechanics from said pocket and has a good quick release.


But, for my perspective, I've never seen a kid at that point have the pocket presence that he does.

Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers say hi.

you lie
I watched orton read a d and look at progressions, he never killed a receiver

He was drafted what, in the mid 20's.

I figure we will be in the mid to early teens, or even earlier. Most teams that are set at QB likely have a few other needs maybe to push them over the edge.

Honestly, I think the draft order of QBs will be Smith, Barkley, Wilson.

Better than Luck?

If he's not better, he's pretty close.

What;s he missing then? I mean Luck was considered the best QB since Peyton, if not Elway and the media slobbed his knob all season. Where is that kind of publicity for Geno? He is getting some love, but nowhere near what Luck got. What did Luck have that Geno lacks?

Lucks got the pedigree. He was pretty much groomed for what was to come.


Geno has developed over his time in college. He does have some flaws, but for the most part they seem to be fixable.

IMO, Luck is/was better pre-snap. Had a better knowledge of offensive and defensive concepts. Is more intelligent IMO, based on his education at Stanford. Additionally, being brought up in a pro-style, West Coast offensive system helped him in his development and value by pro teams.

Geno's knocks will be from his o-system, and that he won't have two full years of being hyped as the best prospect.

He has flaws, he's no Andrew Luck.

I'm not totally sold on him as a leader. He threw the whole team under the bus while he was out. Even though I mostly agree with the things he said, he should have bitten his tongue and it's things like that that may be a sign of why the problems happen in the first place.

IMO that was a pretty significant red flag.

Warming up to Barkley I see :)

Luck had/has no weakness in his game.

7-9

Chiefs draft around 12-15.

Smith goes 1
Barkley in top 5
Wilson in top 10

When asked why the Chiefs didn't attempt to go after a real QB, Pioli says, "You gotta remember that we still have a pretty good QB in Matt who made the Pro Bowl not too long ago and has led this team through some tough initial losses to begin the season."

2010 was probably the worst thing that could happen to this franchise (after the Cassel trade, of course)
