I did not think it was that bad as far as blow ups go, it's just that he kind of presented himself as a leader without a spine. His defense of his decision to throw Sanchez into the game late was weak. It reeks like upper mgt is dictating his game calls.
The big difference is Mallet and those guys aren't in the running to win the starting job. Mark Sanchez has outplayed Geno every step of the way and seemed to be the logical choice to be the starting QB.
That gif at the bottom is great. Guess he's a big fan of James Harrison's style with the HBO cameras.
Other than Muhammad Wilkerson and 2 good o-linemen (Who are both probably just about to hit the downside of their careers) there really isn't anything good. Others have potential, but no sure things.
Actually, Sanchez has not outplayed Smith every step of the way. Sanchez made terrible rookie mistakes in each of the first two preseason games. It is okay if Smith makes rookie mistakes. It is not okay when Sanchez does it. I have been predicting a 3-13 season. I hope I am right. That will finally get rid of this Rex Ryan #####.
Before Mark went into last night's game, here is what we had:
Slaughtered for Bridgewater does roll not off the tongue but it probably makes more sense for the Jets.
It all depends on how deep your league is. If it is a typical 12-team league, then Kerley is worth drafting. My two leagues thus far are very deep. Cumberland, Holmes, Hill, Kerley and Winslow are on rosters.
Because he's not white?
maybe because he threw 3 picks last night and each mistake was worse than the one before.
Some of it was opinion, but there were a lot of facts there. If I have a rookie QB, I don't start him at the beginning of the year unless he looks like the best QB on the roster. Can anyone even make the case that Smith is NFL ready? I would like to hear it. I agree that if any of the 2 QBs has a chance to be the future of the Jets, it is Geno. However, he isn't ready yet. Jets should be protecting him. Let Sanchez start, let him take the lumps. Fans already hate them, let them hate him more. Mid-season, when Geno has had a chance to improve and the offense has figured out what it can and can't do, you let Geno play the hero. He finishes the year and has a chance to learn on the job without being too exposed.
Normally, I like a rookie QB to not start till October. However, the sport is changing and is very-QB friendly. We see rookies start from Week 1 now and Sanchez made his typical errors in all three preseason tilts.
You have to judge each QB on their own merit. You can't compare the Geno situation to some of the other recent QBs. Russell Wilson completely outplayed Matt Flynn. Andrew Luck was the most NFL ready QB prospect in a decade and was the best QB through the preseason. RG3, he got the nod over another rookie and Rex Grossman because the staff believe RG3 was the best QB on the team. Colin Kaepernick waited a year behind Alex Smith because he wasn't ready. It worked out for both. I just think if there is doubt about who the best is, it is better to let the rookie develop more. Throw the veteran to the wolves.
If you're going to suck no matter what, why not take your lumps with the broken veteran while you teach the rookie to be a serviceable QB? Less chance of injury, less chance of breaking his confidence, etc.
I still think he handled not being drafted like a petulant child. But that's just me.
But this is Geno Smith. He is impervious to the NY media, which really has no impact anyway, and he doesn't need time with the receivers to working on timing. He's Geno Smith and Mentos has a life-size poster of the guy over his bed. How he didn't go first overall is beyond belief!
Most NFL rookies flame out. That's a fact. Smith may or may not learn from his mistakes, but to simply ASSUME that he WILL learn from them is extremely naive, especially when you consider the long list of highly-drafted rookie QBs who failed to learn from their mistakes (Ryan Leaf, Joey Harrington, Matt Leinart, JaMarcus Russell, etc.).
If the two guys both suck and the veteran has no future with the team, then you go with the rookie. I think the team is 3-13 material no matter who starts. The team should fall into three wins just like the 1995 outfit. If Smith flops like Jimmy Clausen, then the Jets can draft Bridgewater (who is better than Smith) or Murray (who might be better than Smith) or Boyd (who might be better than Smith).Ilov80s said:
I am not 7 years old anymore. So no posters of players for me. I have low expectations because of the head coach and personnel. Whether he plays 4 games or 16, he will struggle this year. How badly he struggles and what the new head coach thinks of him will determine if he will be the starter in 2014.TheFanatic said:But this is Geno Smith.

YUP, Like i said all along....
I know Sanchez has become a walking meme for most people but the reality is that he is the best thing they have offensively. Very sad but true. The Jets have somehow managed to assemble an offense devoid of any talent and the sideshow of this QB battle only distracts from that fact. That the Jets have been a cusp playoff team over the last few years actually makes me wonder if Sanchez might be a halfway decent QB under different circumstances...(think Alex Smith pre-Harbaugh).Mentos said:

the Jets situation.
After watching that play in-game and in-highlight you'd have to think Jets have seen plenty enough of that. I believe that was Cumberland who was wide open on the sideline and Sanchez.... just .... couldn't... decide to throw. Even if the DB was close enough to cover then yes, just scrap the play and throw it out of bounds. Pfft.I know I'm an interloper but not pouring salt here even if I
I think Sanchez should be catching a lot more hell for getting himself injured. As I understand it, he held the ball too long on that play and didn't throw it away. ....

Oh our governor called someone a name. Pretty much par for him. Dishes doesn't take.
