And no – he wasn’t arrested, nor did he have any charges brought against him. Bray has in fact reached out to the victim and agreed to pay for the damages.

This is how things roll in SEC territory.

good job by him for agreeing to pay for the damages, though.

EDIT: lol. "Heck, even Peyton Manning had a lawsuit brought against him in college for mooning a trainer."

Bray has ways to go - he hasn't been pimped out as the top pick of the draft either...Smith has been riding the hype wave all season.

He hasn't given anyone any reason at all to be "pimped out as the top pick of the draft". Has he? Ever?

On a side note, how good is K-State??
That was a public raping tonight in Morgantown.

WVU has been figured out, their offense is no longer a mystery to opponents.
I think Geno almost never scrambling puts WVU's offense at a disadvantage.
They aren't good enough against elite teams to sit back and chuck it or pound it with their RBs.

Best case scenario and I still can't see WVU scoring more than 24 points against K-State tonight.

This same K-State team destroyed Miami a few weeks ago.
I would love to see this squad be one of the final four teams in the BCS at the end of the season.

Why is WVU's defense beyond bad?? Worst defensive unit I've seen in a while.

Geno is still IMO a top QB prospect, but he's gonna be behind Barkley on many team's boards. And he might be jockeying with guys like Tyler Wilson to be the 2nd QB drafted.

no one knows; ive never seen players just run free like that

we play our cbs 10 yds off the ball, and they still backpedal once the ball is snapped; never look at the ball while its in the air; never blitz

its embarrassing

[MassNole]

Yeah he certainly looks like a first round pick.

[y.f.s.]

Meh. Tannehill got **** on by everyone from October through April. People forgot about RG3's Baylor team dropping 3 of 4 in October (and how bad he was vs Okie St).

Smith will be fine, and he'll bounce back. Still my #1 QB.

[SolidGold]

For the record I loved Tannehill all the way through - Smith isn't RG3 in terms of athletic ability/he isn't Tannehill or Luck for that matter.

Smith isn't the fastest, most athletic or agile - pretty decent athlete but nothing special. Playing against quality defenses the past two weeks exposed him. It makes me laugh when people say he should run more. He isn't a running QB.

I agree with this part.

His biggest problem right now is playing with a sense of anticipation IMO. Air Raid teams don't necessarily teach QBs to throw to players, they teach them to throw to open areas (and a lot of the time, this can get mistaken for anticipation). His internal clock ticks for too long and he holds the ball waiting for the WR to clear instead of just pulling the trigger.

Comparing him to Case Keenum or Graham Harrell doesn't really make sense IMO, because it's pretty clear that he's a superior arm talent to either one of those guys.

Have you seen this year's Baylor team? But yeah, these two defenses are worse than Greg Robinson's Michigan defenses.

Agree. Last night he seemed late on most of his passes.

Another problem i see lately is some real bad body language out there. He might be already thinking of the next level and that happens but he needs to get his act together. Don't see a problem with his mechanics at all.

For me the order of QBs coming off the board is still to be determined.

I can see that complaint. Then again, people say Cam sulks, that Eli is/was mopey, that Rivers is a loose cannon asshole, etc. That's just what happens when you lose.

[FUNBUNCHER]

When I said that Geno should run more, I mean it can't hurt for him to scramble for a couple first downs when all his WRs are covered. He is athletic enough to do that. I think his functional mobility is really underrated.

Gotta get to the show before you start showing some of those traits. It'll only affect his draft status not how he does at the next level.

Except Jimmy Clausen was a winner and people saw him do that **** in college. The same kind of **** Geno is doing. Granted, Geno isn't nearly as "I don't give a ****, but I'm going to tell you I do" as Clausen.

They're still not LA-Lafayette bad.

Edit: From what games I've seen so far, I see 1 first round QB (Barkley) and a bunch of round 2-3 guys. I'm not the biggest fan of Barkley, because I think his accuracy sucks beyond 10 yards - but I may change my mind when I get some time (and desire) to watch some game replays.

[soybean]

Apparently Geno Smith is extremely immature. I really wouldn't touch this guy in the first if I were a team. Teams should be very careful with him and take a lot of stock into his interviews because that could make or break him.

I know reddit is not always a reliable source but from this person's account and comments from the WVU fan base, Geno Smith has a lot of growing up to do.

Alright, this is no way a stab at your fans, I ran into nothing but nice WV fans at the game. Also, sorry this is a little late, I haven't been near a computer for a while. Couldn't have been happier with your fans. But your quarterback is a dick. Pregame, he taunted our student section. And right as the whole team came out on the field, it seemed like he intentionally ran into a couple guys standing around a pregame drill, starting a little bit of a tussle. Then, as tweeted by Jake Knott, he tried to knock down our defensive coordinator at halftime. I mean, seriously? There was no reason to do any of the above things other than just to be an asshole. Once again, I have nothing against your fans. Nothing but nice people to me and my friends. Even your drunk fans were nice to us. But your quarterback is an asshole. End rant.

[TACKLE]

great story...

[FUNBUNCHER]

Here we go.

An opposing fan's biggest complaint was the behavior of the other team's QB down on the field??lol

Because you have questions about a QBs behavior that would knock him out of the top 5 doesn't mean you wouldn't draft him in the top 32.
There aren't 32 prospects IMO better than Geno SMith.

This will all get sorted out, but it sounds similar to Philip Rivers.

Landry Jones - stock up
Geno Smith - Stock down

[vidae]

We get it SolidGold, you like Landry Jones.

[y.f.s.]

Landry Jones' stock has been on life support since the middle of last year.

[SolidGold]

He has had a good second half of the season - his play peaked at the right time whereas Geno Smith's tailed off after the hot start.

[y.f.s.]

He's still very much the same player as he was in the middle of last year, throwing 71 attempts doesn't really change that. He's the worst decision maker under pressure in this class.

He's "peaking" because of scheduling, same reason Geno "tailed off."
