Its more like the QB needs to be fast to run for their life behind those other teams OL.”

Actually, buffalo’s OL is pretty solid, especially if they resign levitre. Fitz did not get sacked very often, he always had time to throw, he just sucked.

SF and Seattle have some of the best D in the NFL, Seattle has the 3rd leading RB and 2 starting pro-bowl OL, and SF was going to the Superbowl even if Smith was their QB. Washington had the 2nd leading rusher, and a fairly good team overall too.

People need to get off the idea that a team like KC, Oakland, Buffalo etc are going to be just like any of those other teams just cause they have a running QB. Its more like the QB needs to be fast to run for their life behind those other teams OL.

He’s fast, but he is not a running qb. Do yourself a favor and look up his running stats. He’s a passer first.

Now, if A.Smith lands in KC the Raiders have some decisions to make. Is Geno worth it, or do you get that that DT?

With that said, Geno Smith is exactly where the league is heading. Athletic, quick, but also a pocket passer. Peyton Manning with legs.

It will come down to this, eventually.

That is where he has a step up on the others.

Probably get him drafted first overall.

Go back and watch some of the games at WVU, he’s definitely a pocket passer and only runs when he needs to or the play is designed that way.

What was Brady’s time in the 40? I seems to me that passing accuracy, ability to read defenses, pocket awareness and leadership are the most important attributes of a quality QB. Smith may have these as well but a frequent running QB is one hit away from IR.

How do you know he doesn’t have any of those attributes. He barely ran in college.

Stop with the pointless “How often does a football player run 40 yards?” nonsense. The time speaks volumes about your likelyhood of success in the sport.

Does he deserve to go first overall? Maybe not, but I still think he is a solid first round QB that can make horrible team look pretty good.

Regarding the Raiders, it would seem that Terelle Pryor, in his lone start last year, showed plenty of potential to build on…he should probably get an opportunity before they invest too highly in another QB.

Be ping fast can only help a Qb, provided he develops the rest if his game (see kaepernick, Wilson, and RG3 – and Vick this year).
