Geno Smith out 6-10 weeks after being sucker punched

[punchnjudy]

Don't count Geno out just yet.

Word is his rehab is being backed financially by the first 6 teams on the Jets schedule.

That did not take long. Bills claim Ik Enemkpali.

That is going to be one nasty game when the Jets and Bills meet. The NFL better have extra security for the two times they meet this year. I predict many cheap shots and players getting ejected. I have a feeling Rex may even get in on the action. That is some serious hatred Rex has for the Jets.

I don't know how Rex talked the Bills GM and owner into picking up the LB who just broke the starting QBs job in a fight. How does a GM and owner allow that in today's NFL climate?

I'm guessing the Bills were the only team putting a claim in for him.

Pretty safe bet. Really this is all on Ryan. He probably had the final call.

SHOTS FIRED lol

You can tell Geno is not a real popular guy.
Lol

Even Coach Bowles is saying it takes two. Geno is not getting complete sympathy here.

I'm thinking he gets cuts and they move on from him.

 

[rynochop]

Heck, Rex Ryan will probably have him go out for the coin toss

He is still the starting QB and you don't touch him, period.

 

[Longboysfan]

I see a lawsuit coming, and I don't blame Geno one bit.

What would he win if he did. The guy has no paychack and Geno does.

 

[Stash]

I'm thinking he gets cuts and they move on from him.

I think he's made his last start there.

 

[Stash]

See if this info changes your mind at all:

Feel bad for Bowles. Waits forever to be a HC, and is in charge of a sinking ship.

 

[erod]

Roger Staubach beat the high holy hell out of Clint Longley for good reason, and it added to his legend. He was lauded as a tough hombre.

This Jets guy gets poked in the face by a smug QB who owes him money and refuses to pay, and he's ostracized as a "big bully".

What a wuss this country has become.

AMES, Ia. – So Wally, are you surprised that a teammate cold-cocked New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith in the jaw?

Pause.

"Didn't surprise me," Iowa State's defensive coordinator Wally Burnham said after practice Wednesday.

Burnham knows all about run-ins with the former West Virginia star, whose jaw was broken by teammate IK Enemkpali during a locker room confrontation Tuesday reportedly over a $600 airplane ticket.



FOR THE WIN



At halftime of the Iowa State-West Virginia game in 2012 at Jack Trice Stadium, Smith ran into Burnham as the teams headed toward their locker rooms.

"I was just walking," said Burnham, who was 71 in 2012. "He pushed me."

One of the first Cyclones on the scene was Wally's son, Shane, who coaches defensive tackles.

"We were holding for the West Virginia team to clear the field," Shane recalled Wednesday. "There was some extra-curricular activity after the last play of the half — Geno didn't appreciate something by somebody, and he took out his frustration on dad."

That didn't sit well with Shane, who did what every son would do.

"I reacted," Shane said. "Part of it is that it's your dad, and part of it is it's your Iowa State brother. It was family and football family for me. It was a double-whammy.

"He had some choice words for dad, and I might have had a few choice words in return."

Shane and Smith talked again on the field before the second half.

"We had a follow-up conversation," Shane said.

Was it nice?

"We continued the conversation," Shane said.

After the game, Cyclones linebacker Jake Knott tweeted:

"G. Smith trying to push over Coach W Burnham at half was the most classless thing I've seen. Esp. from a "leader" #GrowUp"

So after West Virginia won 31-24, did Smith apologize to Wally Burnham?

"You think so?" he responded.

nope

you don't hit the franchise QB. on the streets maybe he deserved it but they aren't in the streets. they are part of the millionaire's boys club.

and how does Geno owe you for not showing up??? he wouldn't owe you if he did show up, it is the cost of running a camp and buy refundable tickets next time. I bet he didn't refund any of the kids fees because geno didn't show.

you have to show discipline as an NFL player and IK messed up.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Like how some limp wrist in the media deemed this a "sucker punch".

I'll agree to disagree. While I don't condone the punch, from everything I've read, Smith acted like a punk. And when you act like a punk, you can't be too surprised if you get clocked.

But, more than anything else, he's a quarterback that acted like a punk. A quarterback whose own teammates aren't taking up for him. Some going so far as to say he deserved it.

A key aspect of a quarterback is to be a leader, and to lead by example. It's obvious that this athlete doesn't possess that trait and I wouldn't be surprised if he's taken his last starting snap at QB in New York.

 

[dogberry]

The Bills picked him up.

Sorry already reported.

The guy is lucky the Jets don't press charges. You can't just cold-clock someone because you think they owe you money or wag a finger at you. Old school, yes but that school has been closed for decades.

Liked or not Geno is the QB, imagine if Ben Gardner broke Romo's jaw.
