1. Geno has never shown he was ever worth selecting second overall, which is exactly what the folks in those threads were suggesting.

Eric Fisher, Lane Johnson, Dion Jordan, Tavon Austin, Dee Milliner, EJ Manuel and Jarvis Jones all had a rookie year as inconsistent as Geno Smith, even worse for some of them. I would even add Joeckel to the list. Weren't they worth their respective top 20 pick or that only works for Geno ?

2. The people that overrate players certainly do, even though they don't realize that's what they're doing because they're in love with the player.  They certainly thought Carr was good and the right choice when they selected him, didn't they?  Or were they blinded by their desperation to manufacture a QB in a class where there wasn't one?

Carr was lauded as the unanimous 1st overall pick during the whole offseason process like you want Bridgewater to be to be worth a top 5 pick. He wasn't a last minute manufactured prospect. Sometimes, everyone just gets it wrong.
