Yeah, I mean.. in what I saw of him, he did have a similar Alex-type of play (2012-on). That's just so far, though.. and he was doing what was asked of him. Dude's young, and doesn't suffer from the same horrid environments that Smith did in his early years.
It's like having a young, cheap Smith... without all of the negative baggage. A clean slate to work with for Andy... with excellent pass weapons, good RB, and a good pass pro OL. [Reply]
27. Kansas City Chiefs - QB Pat Mahomes, Texas Tech - Be sure to listen to my quarterback podcast with Matt Waldman, specifically on the perception that Mahomes is a project. This would be a great situation for the quarterback. [Reply]
This is a tough throw at any level. Mahomes makes it while about to get hit. His arm talent is ridiculous. Appears to hold S w/ eyes too. pic.twitter.com/iaMLfMjX1t

No. Geno Smith couldn't read a defense and couldn't get off his primary target in college. He couldn't do it in the pros either. Mahomes makes plays all over the field. Big difference. Mahomes has some mechanical flaws, not mental incompetence. [Reply]

Geno Smith was an arrogant POS who was never a leader. He had average arm strength and an inflated ego. The guy went to a fucking visit and was on his goddamn phone FFS.
Mahomes is a real developmental prospect who could be just like Stafford if he sits for a year. [Reply]

Geno Smith as in highly overrated prospect, anointed as "the one" in the eyes of the CP "gurus", that will end up sucking in the NFL for one reason or another and be out of the league in a few years.
I'd be shocked if he makes it and turns into a franchise QB.
FTR, I don't hate every QB that comes out. I wanted Carr over Ford and was surprised when they passed on him. I thought Carr was the best QB in that draft. And surprise surprise, look how things have turned out. [Reply]

You want to take a late second round flyer on him? Sure.
And to the dumbass who posted above, Geno didn't have an average arm. His arm was, and still is, very strong.
I tend to agree. Not worth a 1st with the talent that should be available. Mahomes is 1-2 years away from competing for a starting job. Lots to like about him, but his penchant to bail the pocket and air-raid background turns me off.
Every one of these top 4 qb prospects this year are so double-edged sword..... [Reply]
