Geno Smith is for real, Ill eat my crow

#1

He is easily a franchise QB.


He reads so well, he throws high percentage passes. He can move in the pocket.


He just needs help in the run game to set up the play action.

He's not a bad quarterback, but he won't be great.

 

And I was definitely a "Draft Geno" guy when he was coming out.


THERE IS A SKELETON INSIDE OF YOU.

 

RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

Which board member coined the term "QB purgatory"?


The Jets are headed in that direction just good enough to stay relevant in December and maybe make the playoffs on a one and done type of season, but not bad enough to be in position to draft a true franchise QB.

KYjaggy, but I'm fairly certain he came across the term elsewhere.

Was not a fan of his coming out of college and thought he would be terrible in the NFL. While I still don't think he'll ever be a great QB, he's definitely exceeded my expectations so far. Needs to be more consistent to be "above average" for me.

If you are worried about someone not being above average, what do you think of our quarterback? For some players it takes time to become above average.

It's not like that matters though. Jets always go defense in the first rd

Just curious what the OP saw last night that led him to post this thread.

He is OK. He still makes horrible decisions and has a pretty decent O-line that keeps him upright. If he can stop making bad decisions, the Jets are half-decent, but I fear "game manager" is the pinnacle for him.

Nah still glade we avoided him, all thought he's lasted longer then I initially thought. So I'll eat a little crow on him, but I'm happy we aren't stuck with him either.

Yeah he has to learn to throw the ball away. Should be a pretty easy thing to fix but he still has 2-4 throws a game that should be picked off. Think he is more than a game manager and has the ability to put the team on his back. Could have used a better weapon than Kerley last night though.

I haven't watched any jets games, and looking at Geno's stats they're still quite pedestrian. 3 TDs and 4 INTs in 3 games with a 77 passer rating so far on the season.

 

Maybe we have differing definitions of franchise QB, but to me when I think franchise QB I think of a guy that drives his team to wins in close games.

 

Both of their losses so far have been by a single score, so did he drive the Jets at the end of the games to TDs just to get that close, or did he simply fail to lead the team back?
