Got ya. Still... he destroyed a fellow Big 12 team today. Yes, it was Baylor. He was still lights out, though. That cannot be denied. There are a lot of QBs that still make bad throws occasionally even with lots of time to throw or when throwing to open WRs. He did not miss a single one of those today from what I saw. He did what he was supposed to do today. He did way more, in all honesty.

He has 20 TDs through 4 games... That is insane.

Oh, I see how it is. Well I take it back and am now solely rooting for him to go to Oakland!!!!

How many years in a row are we gonna hear Chiefs fans cry that they will get a QB in the draft only to watch them take a D-Lineman?

Sorry, that seat has been taken by Tyler Wilson./

I'll take Geno over Wilson at this point, I'd love to see him with the speed we currently have on the roster and the type of offense that would be implemented. I'd still rather stick with Palmer though and hopefully draft an impact defensive player like a Jarvis Jones.

Haven't made the playoffs since the 8th day of the new millenium and we have horrible weather. If fair has anything to do with it we get him. LOL!

It's good you called it months ago. Me personally needed to see more and I'm impressed

D-Unit, it's September. Do you really need to make me depressed this early? Can't you wait until March? CMON MAN.

Todd Bertuzzi · 09-29-2012, 06:27 PM

Watching him today reminded me of Sam Bradford against weak B-12 defenses. I would add Smith reminds me some of Bradford with his accuracy and nice tools.

Bradford never had a game like this... even against weak B-12 defenses. In 2008 he threw for 4700 yards and 50 tds while completing 68% of his passes. Most yards he had in a single game that year was 468. Most tds in a game was 5. He only completed over 80% of his passes in one game that season. Bradford did perform well against the best competition he faced that year and I'm sure their defense was a heck of a lot better than the one WVU puts on the field so I don't imagine he got in to too many 70-63 shootouts.

Interested to see how Smith does against the top dogs. I think he'll do well.

sorry but we're derailing your bandwagon. We suck worse than everyone, he's ours. Learn to cope with it now and look forward to Wilson.

I will do no such thing!

Caulibflower · 09-29-2012, 08:28 PM

This is just like Robert Griffin last year. He had some ridiculous incompletion-to-touchdown ration through the first few games of last season, too.

SeanTaylorRIP · 09-29-2012, 08:38 PM

Kansas State and TCU are the games I expect him to struggle, so ultimately I think how he performs in those two games determines a tone as far as Heisman and draft prospects.

I hope he does well. The 2013 draft is dying for a clear #1 and Smith has the potential to be that guy.

Ended 37-6 ratio, that's still pretty ridiculous. He was at 18-1 thru 4 games (Geno 20-0).

RGIII went 21-27, 359, 5 TDs, 0 INTs vs. TCU and 23-31, 346, 5 TDs, 1 INT vs. KState. I think Geno will be fine. None of these teams are as good on D as LSU was last year, and Geno did very well then (did have a couple picks).

There isn't a defense in the Big 12 that can slow down WVU.
The flipside is there isn't an offense in the Big 12 that can't score 40+ points against the Mountaineers.

That 2008 offense for OU was freakin incredible. Bradford didn't have to pass as much as Smith does do to OU's defense actually being competent, and OU had a fantastic ground game that year. Chris Brown and Demarco Murray combined for 2,200+ yards and 34 TD's on the ground.
So comparing Geno to Bradford is kind of silly because of the differences in the OU team in 2008 and WVU in 2012.
What is kind of funny is the NCAA single season TD record is 58, so he would need 39 more TD's in 8 games, basically keeping up on pace with what he is averaging of 5 TD's a game.

scottyboy · 09-30-2012, 10:17 AM

you know, rutgers last year held Geno to like 215 passing yards only.

nevermind that we lost and it was the worst conditions for a game I've ever been at.

nevermind my trolling either.

Geno's gonna be really good and it's scary. too bad he ran away from Rutgers. He was scared of Khaseem.

Ok, I'm done trolling. Geno's still really ******* good, so i'm not completely trolling at this point

What do you have against Purple?

The basketball, excuse me. football game on Saturday was insane. It was almost like RG III was back, without the running threat. One WVU stop in the 3rd quarter decided the game.

BTW, Geno had more TD than Incompletions. He still has not thrown a pick.

Can you imagine how good he'd be if he had the maturity of a 28 year old?
