The New York Jets are now running things differently, instead of rigging a QB competition in camp, the Jets just flat out said who will be the starter coming into next season.
Chan Gailey will try and squeeze as much as he can out of Geno Smith. Geno Smith was arguably the worst quarterback in the NFL the past two seasons. Now the new regime, is trying to see what they can get out of him.
In his 3rd NFL Season, Smith is out of excuses. With an OC like Gailey, and weapons like Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, Devin Smith, Jeremy Kerley, Chris Ivory, Stevan Ridley. Zac Stacy, Bilal Powell, Jace Amaro, and Jeff Cumberland, what more does he need?
Obviously Smith was going to be the starter this season, this comes as no suprise. What comes as a surprise is that they named him the starter on May 20th, about 4 months away from the start of the NFL season. Is Ryan Fitzpatrick injury worse than originally thought? Does the new regime want to see what they have in Smith? Who knows?
The only question that matters at this point is if the Jets really have faith in Geno Smith. I personally believe that Smith will improve from the help of Chan Gailey and company. The same Chan Gailey that made Tyler Thigpen look like a good quarterback. Do not take my word for it or bank on Geno Smith having a comeback season, this is the same Smith who Rex Ryan thought "really improved from his rookie season", what a disaster that turned out to be.
