    I disagree. Fans were booing in 2012, and the tone or mentality on various Jets fan sites was getting close to forming a lynch-mob. While I think Sanchez needed to go and a vet brought in to start, keeping Sanchez and sitting Geno would have been preferable to starting Geno. That's where Idzik's cluelessness first showed itself.

    Yeah you have a good point there - I just didn't want to the Jets to draft Geno Smith in the first place. We missed out on some talent in 2013 and 2014 because of Geno Smith. I would have stuck with MS in 2013 easily.

    You think he will actually score if he played a basketball? At his turnover rate? 1.5 is like way too generous on your part. :D

    I think it had a lot to do with how he did it. It would be one thing if someone handed him a hotdog and he scarfed it down real quick while going over diagrams with the OC. Instead, he was just kind of sitting there on the bench, chilling with his bud, putting mustard on a dog and having a little snack.

    Said the pot to the kettle. You are the most arrogant and contrary fan on this board. How in the world can you say anything about fans being idiots. Your only rival in trolling is Abyzmul. The both of you contribute nothing other than attacking other posters.

    The bolded is where any GM with a brain would have passed on Geno, that's a big red flag when so much is on the line. Then he caps it off by firing his agent 2 days later and signs on with Jay-Z. I will admit I had hoped the pick would work out because we were so desperate at the QB position. And unfortunately we still are....

    I didn't want the Jets to draft Geno based on his babyish pouting reaction to not getting drafted higher on draft day. I didn't like the guy based on that. He's not the only player who acted that way when not selected on draft day. There's plenty of them it's a traumatic experience and embarrassing to the player. But Geno was unusually pathetic.

    Nolan Nawrocki wrote a scathing brutal scouting report on Geno before the draft that came across almost as a personal attack. I was rooting for Geno to succeed. In hindsight Nawrocki was right. But the bottom line with Geno is he doesn't have the ability to anticipate, to see things in advance before they happen. That's why you see him late on his throws. He has to stare at things to trust it. Or he throws the ball to other team not seeing how they're reacting to the play and anticipating that either. He woulda shown that talent by now if he had it.
