Bufcomments Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Found this comment on Geno today. Reading this are you still wanting him to come to the Bills?? This is just a small sample of Pro Football Weekly's scouting report on Geno Smith, in their NFL Draft Preview book: Average field vision, Nonchalant field presense, has pin legs and bad pocket posture, does not command respect from his teammates, cannot inspire, Mild practice demeanor - no urgency, Interviewed poorly at the combine and did not show an understanding of concepts on the white board, needed to be coddled in college, cannot handle hard coaching, overhyped product of the system, could drain energy from a QB room. -Nolan Nawrocki, Pro Football Weekly This makes me NOT want him.

Saint Doug Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 That's very damning. Although we may be taking these comments out of context, I'm wary of people who don't have at least one good thing to say about someone. The world is not black and white.

C.Biscuit97 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Scouts are never wrong. Especially ones who have never worked a second for a NFL team. Especially one who slammed Cam Newton before his draft. If anything given the source, it makes me want Geno Smith more. Interesting point but still that not what you want to see in a franchise QB He made a lot of the same judgments on Newton and never talked to him before.

Magox Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 This isn't the first major criticism of Geno Smith. Obviously scouts are wrong all the time, but the specific critiques on him are disconcerting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Cam Newton isn't exactly leading his team to playoff appearances. All of the criticisms of him prior to being drafted still remain relevant. Edited April 1, 2013 by Bangarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam's leadership was called out publicly last season. 23, nearly 8,000 yards passing, nearly 1,500 yards rushing, 62 combined tds, plays on a team with one of the worst defenses, & the Panthers were one of the hottest teams to end the season. That Nolan dude was so right. I'd hate to get a player like that on the Bills. Cam Newton isn't exactly leading his team to playoff appearances. All of the criticisms of him prior to being drafted still remain relevant. Great point. All W and Ls are solely on one player. Drew Breea is clearly the reason the Saints didn't make the playoffs. It is Geno Smiths fault his defense gave up 35 points per game. He sucks at tackling from the sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 This isn't the first major criticism of Geno Smith. Obviously scouts are wrong all the time, but the specific critiques on him are disconcerting. Through watching a few interviews of him, I do sense a possible personality quirk with Geno Smith like there was with McNabb and still is to some extent with Newton. There's almost an aire of him being a little too sensitive for the job of franchise QB. I'll be happy if he's the pick, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have concerns about Smith's personality.
