Let the season play out. Give him a chance to develop. See what he's made of coming out of this game. He still is making similar mistakes through 4 weeks. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Geno plays like he's not a very intelligent person. Does anyone know whether he did well on the wonderlic or did well in school? He looks dumb. He sounds dumb. He does dumb things on the field like running backwards into his own endzone. I hope he's smarter than he looks because he's got all the physical tools for sure.
i don't think thats being a homer as much as it is being patient and taking whats in front of them. I mean I wouldn't blame somebody for believing that sanchez could take the next step after 2010 for instance. not everything is apparent out the gate.
Been a Jets fan for four decades and watched a lot of football during the years and Geno is not the answer so why invest in him for 3-4 years just to see him waste our time. Much better guys coming out next year and since the SB is not in the cards this year it truly doesn't benefit us to go 8-8. If you can't make the playoffs you may as well get the best pick possible. All an 8-8 does is give Rex some ammunition to keep his job and enough hope for some fans to believe in Smith.
Bunch of this is hindsight. Harris is better in the 3-4 than Vilma....Sanchez had awful offensive coordinator calling by an awful OC in Schotty the first two years. He lost his confidence in 2011 though which is where everything fell for him. Wilson, Duccase, and Hill(Albeit he has at 1 more year at least remaining before we can fully dissect his time here) have not gotten the job done and Mangini was/is a good talent finder sans Gholston and he's a good defensive coach, he just had too much faith in his lousy assistants(Sutton/Schotty) that ended his tenure here. I follow the college game plenty, people need to stop getting the idea that every single QB succeeds right out of college. This has nothing to do with him being an "Air Raid QB", he just has a lot to learn. In a normal circumstance, he would not be playing right now and would be learning on the bench. Of course Jet fans are one of the most impatient fans in the NFL though. Stop being pessimists!
This is a different game without all the penalties. Geno was bad, really bad. Still, the penalties killed us today.
They scored 28 of their points off of Geno Smith turnovers. Our only TD came against the Prevent defense. Penalties suck, but this loss is on Geno Smith and the OL (primarily Ducasse and Colon).
But this is the problem with bad organizations. They make mistakes, and then waste years forcing that mistake to become so glaring that they are forced to finally move on from the mistake. Then they compound mistakes by forcing themselves to correct mistakes even if the ideal situation isn't available. Trading up for Sanchez with one year of starts and having him play immediately was a mistake. History showed us that USC QBs aren't as good as advertised, and yet our idiot owner, pushover GM, and clueless-to-offense HC were enamoured with Sanchez. Massive mistake. After four years, they realized it was a mistake, but bc they wanted to move on so desperately, they draft a kid with a million red flags and rush him into a starting role. it's complete idiocy.
how can anyone be accused of trolling after that performance? the only way you could troll at this point would be if you were to defend his play in order to get a rise out of people.
I am pretty sure they knew it was a mistake a long time ago but Mark was signed to an old skool top 5 pick rookie contract that made it near impossible to move on from him any sooner the only thing I am really down on the FO for failing to do was pick up a half decent Vet to play this season - but maybe the plan was to just let Sanchez play this year and let Geno sit and learn what not to do - but his injury spoiled that plan.
Buttfumble 2.0 is gaining momentum. I've gotten texts from 5 friends (2 Giants fan who have nothing to crow about, a Pat fan, a Denver fan and an Indy fan) all mocking me and my QB. And I'm going to the Falcon game next week and will be surrounded by them. Well at least Dan Patrick didn't call it the Buttfumble, but his 4 "highlights" of the Jets were Geno's 4 turnovers. Dammit. _
My impressions of Geno Smith....I was never a big fan of his, but this guy can throw a football. He is a QB that can lead Jets into the future. He can only get better with playing time & experience. I thought this was a positive game for him, minus the turnovers. Jets have to put better talent around him & in front of him. Jets need pllaymakers on offense. 1-Jets need 2 starting WR's next season with size & speed. Kerley & Stephen Hill are decent back-up WR's. Santonio will be gone next year. 2-Jets need 2 RB's...Powell is a good 2nd or 3rd RB. Jets need a threatening feature RB. Will take alot of pressure off the QB. 3-OL needs to be improved, Ducasse is a back-up. 4-TE....Jets need a feature TE, TE's they have are all back-ups.
