Ryan Nassib vs Geno Smith Tonight

[SlickBri481]

Even though he is an idiot, Jesse Palmer made a great point about Geno Smith. He is in total control of that offense and makes a lot of calls on the line depending what the defense gives him. This is a must in the NFL and something especially Sanchez has struggled with recently. WVUs offense unfortunately really doesnt give Smith a great opportunity to show a lot of throws down the field but again, I think his demeanor and leadership show big time.

Exactly. Smith is a really bright guy and has all the physical tools. He did not get a big chance to show much in this game and the weather was such that I would throw it out anyway. He is going to be a very good NFL QB

I'm underwhelmed.

Because you saw one game, in crappy conditions? LOL.

I agree 100%. I remember during the 4th quarter, WVU was down big time and Smith was not having a great game. That being said, you saw Smith in players' faces, trying to keep them motivated. That is leadership. Compare that to Sanchez and his puppy dog look on the sideline whenever things are not going well. Its easy to be a leader when things are going well, its when the chips are down that real leaders show themselves.

I still like Nassib and I'm not going to let mediocre stats in a snowstorm change my mind on that. If anything, this might be a good thing, so now hopefully he won't creep up into the 1st round and he'll be there for the Jets in the 2nd or 3rd

Without getting into 100 ridiculous opinions like on JI, what did you nassib do well/bad last night.

His numbers obviously were bad, but I thought his velocity was really good (he threw one ball from the opposite hash mark to the sideline which is definitely an NFL throw), his delivery seemed "over the top" which is great, and allows him at 6'2 to be tall enough. Thought he hit his receivers in the hands/chest for the most part. He also showed a decent ability to run.

The near pick 6 was a terrible read and throw, but i didnt think he was inaccurate other then that.

Thoughts?

Tough conditions to evaluate him yesterday. I thought he looked good given the weather. A couple of his deep throws down the sideline were off, he kind of floated them a bit, but overall I would prefer Nassib in the second over Smith in the first. I wouldnt touch Smith, not based on anything from yesterday, but he is way over rated right now.

Evaluating a few Quarterbacks this bowl season, and no QB scares me more than Smith. There was a stat is saw that showed if his receivers were tackled right where they caught the ball he would only average about 6 yards per/att and nearly 1/3 the touchdowns. That's pretty convincing to the fact that his skill players/system benefits him more than anything

I've got to say this on Geno's behalf: it has to be tough for him @ 6'3 to throw any routes in traffic to those WRs who are all less than 5'10 (I think). Hence the bubble screens or the deep balls.
Kid has the physical gifts and, from everything I've read, is very bright. I have a feeling his stock is going to soar again after the combine. I'd love to have him in green.

Agree, as I've watched more and more film, I'm really impressed with this kid's physical gifts. I'd also love to see him in Jet green.

They are fantastic players and have provided him with far more yards after the catch than most players would have. Tey are a very important part of his success.
