Gastineau Lives Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/8326/geno-smith The Jets told newly signed RB Chris Johnson their quarterback position would be an open competition between Geno Smith and Michael Vick. "They said those two will battle it out in camp and may the best man win," said Johnson. The Jets' best case scenario is Smith plays well in the preseason and wins the job outright, but they would not have brought in Vick unless there was some doubt about Smith's ability to develop into an NFL starter. Smith posted a 12-21 TD-to-interception ratio in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 yeah. geno already commented on this they day after vick signed “Awesome, man. Vick’s my guy,” Smith said. “We needed to find a guy that was legitimately a guy that could come in and play. I think that’s what we did. Mission accomplished.” Smith says he realizes that Vick wants to play and won’t be content as a backup. “That’s every quarterback,” Smith said. “I understand where Mike’s coming from. No one wants to sit the bench. I don’t know a player that does.” For the next five months, Smith and Vick will compete, a competition Smith says he’s ready for. “It’s just good to have a guy to compete with like Mike,” Smith said. “We’re going to compete. We’re not going to say, ‘Hey, you’re the starter.’ And we’ll leave it at that. We want to get better. I love it. It’s really making everyone work harder and keep you right on your toes because you don’t have a moment to be satisfied or just say ‘I’ve arrived.’ You’ve got to continue to work at it.” Smith will have to work hard to keep Vick from taking his job.

Jettington Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 the competition may be "open" but the "decision" will be made by management. Geno is getting the starting job unless he completely bombs in training camp and pre-season or Vick completely blows him away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashmouth Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Since Manziel is just a pipe Dream I can go with the Hess Garappolo Scenario love that quick Marino like release In 2 years its possible Geno and Vick are riding the bench somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I think the more interesting thing about this is that IF the Jets are willing to rolling into this year with an "open QB competition" between a washed-up veteran and a 2nd rounder who left them with enough doubts that they brought in a washed-up veteran, THEN in what round to they take a QB... Because you IF the veteran wins the competition, you have to have a replacement in place being prepped, and if the 2nd rounder you doubted wins, it still can't leave you with enough confidence that you ignore the QB position in this year's draft. At least, that's the way I look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your assessment on both QB's washed up and disappointing 2nd rounder. I like Garappolo since I know the Jets wont get a Manziel the question I have since I have not been following the draft much is what round is garappolo projected to go in ?

I like Garappolo since I know the Jets wont get a Manziel the question I have since I have not been following the draft much is what round is garappolo projected to go in ? Early on, he and guys like Mettenberger and Savage were penciled in to go in the third or fourth round, but lately they've crept all the way up to the top of the second. There's no way to tell, though. I think that has a lot to do with the scrutiny the projected first rounders have started to get. I don't think the Jets will be looking at QB that high, and I definitely don't think they'll reach for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because players never improve ever. A great example would be Peyton Manning, who set a record for most INTs as a rookie. That guy never got any better. And before you twist this into me comparing Geno to Manning STFU. I was simply using Manning as an example of a QB who struggled as a rookie and then got better. Just because Geno struggled in camp last year doesn't mean it will be the same this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
