2013 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Geno Smith
I think FAR too many NFL QBs are looked at as fails because of the situations they get in with the teams they're with. I think a great many possibly really good QBs careers get crapped away behind bad coaching and otherwise crappy team management. Just as many not so great QBs get relied on and exposed.

Summary: Smith was one of the most consistently effective quarterbacks in college football over the past three seasons. He led some of the most prolific and high-powered offenses while showing steady improvement over the years...
