Geno Smith out 6-10 weeks after being sucker punched

[big dog cowboy]

Word now is that it was over money. Geno apparently doesn't pay his gambling debts.

$600 dollars.

The Jets just got better.

The consenses among the talking heads on TV was the Jets didn't go backwards and a couple said they would be better.

He's the worst starting QB in the league.

They might be better off in the short term, but Fitzpatrick is not a long term solution and this will seriously set back any development Smith achieved last year.

If I was the Jets, I'd probably start Petty. Fitzpatrick is a known quantity. A 33 year old who might squeeze out 7 or 8 wins if the defense plays exceptionally well. What do they have to lose at this point?

They are both idiots. Couldn't happen to a nicer franchise.

Oh yes it could! And a franchise in the same division to the north and east

Tough decision for Grossman..... it will reset his HOF candidacy back to 5 years.....

He is so raw this was supposed to be a red shirt year for him. Oops.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The altercation in the New York Jets locker room that ended with quarterback Geno Smith suffering a broken jaw began as a dispute over $600, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Smith, who will miss at least six to 10 weeks with two fractures in his jaw, accepted a $600 plane ticket from IK Enemkpali to appear at the reserve linebacker's football camp in Pflugerville, Texas, according to sources. Problems arose when Smith did not show to the camp, which took place days after someone close to Smith died in a motorcycle accident in Miami, sources said.

After Smith did not attend, Enemkpali demanded that the Jets quarterback refund him the $600 he allegedly used to purchase the plane ticket. Smith told Enemkpali he would reimburse him the money, but he had not as of Tuesday morning. Enkempali confronted Smith on Tuesday about the money, and the confrontation ended in a punch and a broken jaw.

Yup, Geno took one for the team!

It doesn't really matter. Smith or Fitzpatrick are not the answer when all is said and done. They are spinning their wheels with either one of them.

The Bills have a similar problem.

 

[YosemiteSam]

He's the worst starting QB in the league.

That's debatable, but close enough that I won't argue.

True...


But RGIII says ... "Hello ball"

 

[adbutcher]

This is a really dumb situation. I don't know why all of a sudden that QBs are fair targets in the locker room or on the practice field. In my day, you never wanted to breathe on the QB no matter how good or sorry he was considered to be. You would find yourself cornered by the entire OLine best case or straight up cut as a worse case.

Also, Geno played quite well in the last 4 games of the season, considering he didn't have a true number one WR. Didn't ha have a perfect QB rating in his last game? By all reports he was looking good in camp this year. Jets are in for a long season counting on a sorry scrub that shouldn't still be in the league. I wonder how he keeps getting a job, hell I wonder the same thing about Weeden.

I am just glad that this nonsense is not taking place on our squad.

Rumor (till I read an article writing it) was that Smith was waving his finger to I-E during their discussion.

Still dumb to deck him, but it seems like it wasn't a sucker punch and Geno wasn't an angel before getting hit

 

[viman96]

That did not take long. Bills claim Ik Enemkpali.
