This. Of course the moron who hit him holds some blame. But Geno is the QB. And you don't get decked for no reason, unless this dude is a sociopath. There are giant red flags with Geno. And going on year three, he is not that good. Realistically does anyone think Geno Smith is the QB to lead us to a SB?
I do as well. Question? Are U a real Jet fan or only rooting because of Geno. I see U and wGENOvFANu joined the site a few weeks apart. U also approved of his post calling another Jet fan a stupid Mother##fcker. I believe we all should refrain from this type of posting. Don't U??
I've been a Jets fan since shortly after Joe Namath was drafted. I had been rooting for Geno, but if some of the things I've heard in the last day or two are true, then I will only root that this is his last season on the team, if he doesn't change his attitude. In general yes, I try to refrain from that type of posting, but I've seen some of the stupidest, most inane, crass comments in threads pertaining to this incident over the last 2 days. The incident shocked and sickened me enough, but what was worse was seeing the responses of many here. Those posts fully deserved every bad name and insult that was hurled at them. If I could permanently ban every single one of those posters from this forum and from ever following the Jets again, I would. The attitudes displayed were totally reprehensible, uncivilized and represent the worst of humanity. IMO people who make comments like I've seen over the last 2 days deserve to be called out and told what others think of them. I doubt it, but maybe if enough people call them out, they'll stop and think how out of line their comments and attitudes are.
Have you thought just maybe you are the one wrong here? Just maybe holding the qb to a higher standard then the who hit him. People like you refuse to see the truth. Never once habe I said IK is not responsible. I also hold Geno responsib5 and get called a mother fucker by some i breed hiil folk and you agree? Because I disagree. You want to ban people because I have different thoughts...another Internet tough deciding what is right for everyone else. Keep posting because I find your thoughts kind of funny and naive. Keeping it it classy in the south. Man people like you and Geno west whatever is his name is sicken me. Thinking you hold some type of higher moral ground when you don't. You make sound like every one here holding Geno responsible was wish him personal harm. Did I post I this thread I wished him I'll or harm. I just proved he got was he ws coming for acting like a dick. It is not surprising people like you support him Because you have the same attitude. You wish you could ban me from being a Jet fan. Dude if you do not have some type of issue I would be surprised. I will say it again Geno as a leader failed he should have defused the situation right or wrong because that is what leaders do. Instead the cock asshole decided to wave a finger in the face of a 250lb maniac. Lord knows how many times he has done this before this time it failed and when he asked what are you going to do about he got smacked. Then he walked away. IK is wrong for hitting him no doubt but Geno is just as wrong.but as more and more of the story come out it is making Geno look worse and worse. I will also say I am happy I won't have to see him make bad choice after bad choice on the field. The blind devotion to a guy that has more turn over then starts is absolutely incredible just like your opinion of other people with different thoughts.
It's becoming quite clear Mac and Bowles jumped the gun on this situation. The only guy that didn't fuck up in this situation is now on the Bills.
I think we may need to stop the narrative that this was a "sucker punch". Carton said today the details are coming out--the two were arguing in a heated manner, they were standing face-to-face and Geno started pointing IK in the face and at one point Geno's finger touches IKs face, IK slugs him and drops him". Not seated, not a punch coming in from left field, Geno not peacefully minding his own business sitting on a stool. Full fledged argument, Geno starts pointing, pokes IK in the face and IK cold cocked him. Not sucker punched. Not sure what it changes for those that think IK should not have punched him in any event, but it sounds like a highly charged situation, physical contact was made and a punch ensued. No link, just what I heard in the FAN this am. _
Why did they jump the gun? You can't have teammates assaulting other teammates, regardless of what Geno did to antagonise him. This cannot happen in any team sport & IK got what he deserved. Whether they do anything with Geno remains to be seen, however they have time to sort that out in house, as he doesnt deserve to be cut unlike IK.
Fights like this happen all the time. The outcome and Geno's position are the reason IK was released. If Geno was our backup TE and only came away from that fight with a black eye this story is done by now. I don't think IK should've been released cause Geno has a glass jaw.
Except several veteran and retired players have been quoted that they have never seen a punch thrown in the locker room. So there goes your happens all the time theory. Give me a break, I don't care if it was the qb, punter or third string TE - IK got exactly what he deserved, bush league nobody, He won't even make the Bills roster and will be bagging groceries in a couple of months.
OK I'v been a Jet fan since th NY Titan days and have been a member on numerous board. Seen tons of dumb stuff on both sides of the issues. But it is made up to let fans offer opinions, likes, and dislikes. I can understand your feelings but I differ in how to respond on different opinions. A personal attack against a poster with profane language is not cool and in fact is not allowed by the mods. Nobody on this or any other board deserves that. Surely you understand football brings out the best and the worse of fans. Removal of the fans we dislike would likely kill the site. I hope you enjoy the upcoming season without getting too upset over what transpires on this site. Take care of yourself.
The sucker punch theory has already been disproven. Geno got what he deserved. Takes a special kinda scumbag to stiff a kid who makes half of what you make and then put your finger in his face when he confronts you about it (obviously not the first time he asked for him money back too) Whether he makes the Bills roster isn't the point. He shouldn't even be on another teams roster right now. Mac and Bowles really thought they could sweep this story under the rug by releasing him. Obviously they have no idea how the NY media is.
More on this issue, Jets source says broken-jawed Geno Smith “deserved it” IK Enemkpali got fired (and quickly re-hired in Buffalo) for punching Jets quarterbackGeno Smith in the face. But while the Jets came out quickly to describe it as a sucker punch, the idea that Smith played a role in his own getting punched is gaining traction. Via Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, unnamed sources within the team are saying Smith “deserved it.” Smith “was up in [Enemkpali’s] face and pointed/touched his face,” an eyewitness said. That followed Ryan Clark’s defense of Enemkpali on ESPN Radio earlier Wednesday morning, as he explained the situation surrounding Smith stiffing the linebacker out of $600 worth of travel expenses. “These guys were in each other’s face,” Clark said, via the New York Post. “Geno put his finger in his face and told the guy, ‘Well, you’re not going to do anything about it.’ . . . “It became about the fact that Geno wasn’t necessarily apologetic and being in a way remorseful about the money when saying he was going to pay IK back and he didn’t.He was rather smug about it.” Whether he was or wasn’t, Enemkpali was wrong to punch him in the face, breaking his jaw and taking him out of action for a portion of the regular season. That’s something the legal system will work through now, along with the league as it applies its personal conduct policy. But with Smith’s career in the balance this year anyway, it’s not a good look for his future that teammates would immediately blame the victim. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...smith-deserved-it/?ocid=Yahoo&partner=ya5nbcs
No one is claiming that it was a sucker punch now, after all the statements that have been released stating that Geno enflamed the situation. They were both in the wrong, however you can't go around punching people in the face, over what is to these guys a bit of loose change. Geno should be punished too in all of this, however what he did isnt in the same league as IK. At the end of all this, it will probably cost Geno his career aswel as in all likelihood he may never see the field again as a Jet. I don't think they were trying to sweep it under the rug, I think they were acting how they should, by punishing him for a cowardly act & sending out a statement that this sort of behaviour won't be tolerated.
Sucker Punch - noun - an unexpected punch or blow You guys are ridiculous. It WAS a sucker punch, unless you deep down in your heart believe that Geno or anyone else in that locker room EXPECTED IK to punch him in the face.
I can see that side of it too. But in the heat of the moment these guys dont think of the big picture. My point is its just a bigger story because the QB is involved. Whether he is in the wrong , not in the wrong or equally in the wrong doesnt matter in the end. If the script was switched and this kid owed Geno money and Geno broke his jaw he would not be released right now. Same as if Sheldon was a 3rd stringer he wouldn't be on the team anymore either. Basically if you play an important position on the team you can get away with what bubble players cant.
If you stick your finger in someones face you cant expect something not to happen..then factor in you owe that person money that he is confronting you for. Geno would have to be a moron to not think something was gonna happen. On second thought maybe he didnt think something was gonna happen.
