Lizard King Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 check out the balls on this guy: Geno Smith: 'Change could be good' Rich Cimini [ARCHIVE] ESPN.com | December 22, 2014 As the New York Jets prepare for what figures to be a tumultuous offseason, several players have publicly supported Rex Ryan, saying they don't want to see the coach fired. On Monday, quarterback Geno Smith said change could be a good thing. Smith, who went through a coaching change at West Virginia, said "it's all about what you make of it. I think the toughest part about it is not being able to continue to play for the same coach, the same guy that you learned to love, you invest so much in, and you believe (in) them. Rex Ryan Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images Rex Ryan and the Jets have missed the playoffs four straight years, so it would not be unexpected if he were to be fired. Quarterback Geno Smith said it would be tough but could help turn the team around. "To reset and re-adjust is a tough thing to do, but we're professionals and we have to do it," Smith continued. "A change could be good for us all, so if it happens -- when it happens -- then we'll see." On Sunday, the Jets (3-12) will close out what could be their worst year since 1996. For most of the season, speculation has been swirling about the future of Ryan and general manager John Idzik. Ryan has missed the playoffs four straight years, so it would not be unexpected if he were to be fired. Nevertheless, many of his players are pulling for him. Tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson, one of the two longest-tenured players on the team, took the opposite view of Smith, endorsing the status quo. "We definitely love Rex and we'd love to have him another year," Ferguson said. "That feeling is throughout the whole locker room. "At this point, everyone wants to find the perfect answer, but I don't know if there's a perfect answer," he continued. "But if we were just to clear everything out, I think that has its own issues with it. Who knows what that would bring? You have to make sure you analyze it all, the pros and cons of every decision." In Smith's case, he benefitted from the change in college, thriving in Dana Holgorsen's pass-oriented offense. That experience probably is the basis for his opinion. Ferguson, who was drafted by the Jets in 2006, has undergone only one coaching change - in 2009, when Ryan replaced Eric Mangini. The Jets made it to the AFC Championship Game that year. "I don't think we're very far away," Ferguson said. "If we preserve what we have and just strategically make some switches here and there, we'd be far better off than trying to clear everything and start fresh."

Integrity28 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Why would Geno advocate on behalf of Rex? I think it's pretty clear Rex is a detriment to QBs, and he hasn't exactly had Geno's back, Geno played because Izdik. All 3 of them belong on the scrap heap, along with Morninwheg and the entire scouting department. I would keep Dunbar on the payroll, that might be it.

Kleckineau Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Even though the article tilte is misleading, what a fvcking dope Geno is. I wish he would have walked out on draft day like he started to do. http://25.media.tumblr.com/b9d09feef6a9b37890bfd7136a2a9742/tumblr_msl5jnLD7I1sglsl1o1_500.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Genocide may never be the answer but his lack of development is squarely on ******* Rex shoulders he has ruined 2 QBS already. Good for smith to point out that firing the POS HC will improve things. Rex is the problem not Geno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The headline appears out of context, but this particular quote, if accurate, suggests Geno is a complete idiot if nothing else. He probably didn't mean to toss Rex under the bus but he's too dumb to realize he did it anyway. Smith continued.

jeremy2020 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 This is it guys. As soon as another coach comes then Geno can reach his true potential! He will ask "Do you want Fries with that?" like nobody's business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for smith to point out that firing the POS HC will improve things. Rex is the problem not Geno It could be more that Geno is just an awful QB period. He's certainly one of the dumbest and that will affect his play. The QB's coach Lee has had a lot of success in the league. It's certainly telling that he can't get anything of Geno. Yes Rex takes a share of the blame, but look at what he has had to work with: Sanchez, Tebow, McElroy, Simms. Just reading that list makes you want to vomit.

WickedAwesome Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 "The balls on this guy." Couldn't have given this a more accurate title. I wonder if Geno is so dumb, he believes being drafted into the NFL guarantees him a job in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WickedAwesome Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I don't know why Belichick and Patricia give Geno so much respect. I feel like he wouldn't look so competent against the Patriots if we just sent people after him. I wonder if playing okay against New England this week gave him the balls to say this while on job salvage duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
