Geno Smith Scouting Films

Here it is from the Iowa State and KU games, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

What's your point? It shows every throw he makes, doesn't it?

If you're criticizing because you think it shows EVERY snap including runs, then you're wrong and didn't watch the video.

Over giving up a first round pick on a college qb that's never had an NFL start, and appears to be slightly above average at best. Yep. I wouldn't sell the farm for Flynn, but I wouldn't give up a first pick on Geno either.

Wrong guy regarding Flynn. I'd rather have Kirk Cousins. Cousins is very good leader and he can play in this league.

I would be happy with Cousins as well.

As I watched that tape, I'm not sure that I ever saw Geno Smith go thru progressions. Less than five times did he throw to his 2nd option and I think all of those were when he was being flushed from the pocket.

I'm not a QB expert, but that would be a concern for me. If you laser lock every WR, you will have a short NFL career because NFL DB's are fast enough to intercept those passes.

I want us to take a QB with the first pick, just not sure who. I also want them to bring a free agent QB to compete. We need at least 2 new QB's on this roster.

That has been one of his knocks, along with his footwork, but I'm pretty sure Holgerson uses a lot of one-read plays where it's quick slants and screens. I have seen Geno go through his progressions when a big play needs to be made. The big reason I want Geno is because of his deep-ball accuracy. Nothing fazes him and he can make every throw, even in tight coverage. Every other flaw he has can be coached through.

Bro, I'm complimenting the tape b/c it's like a highlight tape, but it's really a scouting tape.

5:50 in the Iowa State game and the play right after he does a good job of scanning the field. I'll have to rewatch more later but am watching the Chiefs right now. Just wanted to point those out.
