Geno Smith will never be an top NFL caliber QB. He may not even be average. I don't know why he is ranked so high.
What's your basis for him not being an average NFL QB? Smith has a good collegiate record, good mechanics, good arm strength, and good measurables for a QB. His biggest flaw is that he relies too much on his arm sometimes when he is flushed out of the pocket and can't set his feet. However, that is something that can be fine tuned. I might not see the guy as an elite QB at this point, but I don't figure him to be a dud either.
Okay, so lets play out this scenario. Say we trade Revis for a first round pick next year... to say Tampa. Lets say they go 9-7 and end up drafting around 17th overall in 2014. Lets say that we have a bad year next year, but not bad enough- we end up 6-10 again and draft 10th overall. Lets look at the Redskins-Rams trade (RG3). It cost the Reskins the #6, plus their 2013 and 2014 draft picks to move up to #2. So lets say we are at 10, looking to trade up to #2 in order to nab Bridgewater. It could potentially cost us the #10, #18, 2015 1st and 2016 2nd. Is it worth ALL of that to try and get Bridgewater or Manziel instead of drafting Geno this year? Is it worth all of that? If you ask me, not at all.
LOL. Ive been following this draft since august. Ive read 30+ different opinions of scouts or "experts". I have not read one single opinion that Geno is not a 1st round talent. What are your sources?
Yeah what the hell? I have not read anything that says he is not a first round talent. He may not be a superstar like the Tom Brady's of the world, but he sure as hell is a first round talent
They never had the option of drafting Geno Smith... We can also ask Skins fans in two years to see how RG3 is doing from a health concern. The question is based on Geno being there at 9. So basically its -Geno at 9 this year. -Manziel or Bridgewater for the 10, 18 overall plus 2015 1st and 2016 2nd. You are honestly going to choose option b in this scenario? You know the likelihood of a top draft pick QB turning out to be "worth it" isnt actually that high, right?
I have no idea what you've been reading, but eveyrone from Mel Kiper jr and Todd McShay to beat writers for randomsportsnewscast.com all say hes not 1st round talent and would go in the mid to late 2nd in any other draft. BUT they project him to go in 1st due to QB needs.
There is no chance in hell Idzik would give up a 1st in 2015 and a 2nd in 2016, for a guy they hope pans out. No fuckin way
Oh you mean the same Mel Kipper who thinks not one quarterback will be taken in the first round. Please.
This ^ is the part where it's just all based on the eye test and what you believe. For me I don't see Geno as a good NFL QB, and I do see Bridgewater as one.
Comparing QBs in 2013 to Luck or RGIII is unfair. If everything goes as planned for the 2012 class, that will be touted as the best QB class since 1983. That draft was an anomaly, and doesn't happen very often. For the *2013* draft, Geno Smith is regarded as a 1st round grade.
I agree with everything you said except the bold. He's only regarded that way by default. I stick by what I said, if the Jets coul've got RG3 last year and given up the same you really don't think that would've been a good move? C'mon...
