Geno Smith
“Not a student" "Nonchalant" "Mild practice demeanor" "marginal work ethic" "did not show an understanding of concepts on the white board" (That one is too easy) "has approached offseason training as if he has already arrived" "Needed to be coddled in college" These words are the non-homicidial equivalent of what Susan Smith said to the police when she claimed a black man had car jacked her and taken off with her car and two boys. They are the equivlant of what Charles Stuart told police after HE shot and killed his pregnant wife, which is bascially the same thing Smith told police; a big, bad, nasty black man committed the crime. In both the Stuart and the Smith cases, the police and the public believed it, at first. Later on, like with RG III (remember he got the same treatment last year before the draft) reality settled in.
But Geno Smith is no RG III. So unless he can take a horrible team to the playoffs, it might be hard to get the stank of racism and lies of his back. The other side of the story is that teams are floating this information to PFW and others to scare away those picking higher. The idea is teams will buy the ugly rumors and Smith will drop into their clutches. I get that, but how are the 007's of the NFL world are trying to accomplish that? By using every stereotype of a black man in the book, just like Smith and Stuart did before their lies were exposed. So in 2013, its widely believed that enough people associate these words and phrase such as, “Not a student" "Nonchalant" "Mild practice demeanor" "marginal work ethic" "did not show an understanding of concepts on the white board," with black men that they will get some people to believe it, and then its up to the black guy to prove otherwise.
