joewillie78 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Cousins was brutal in his spot starts this year, it would be a waste of a pick. You go the other way if you think Geno can't hack it, not because of some benign off the field transgressions. So he yelled and acted like a d*ck, since when is being a good guy a prerequisite for being our QB? Christ, Brady left his pregnant wife for another model, a month before she gave birth to his son, not exactly the move of a choir boy. Those dick picks could literally happen to anyone who's ever had a girl see him naked: it's not as if Geno posted them himself. None of it makes him look good, but it's not as if any of this was illegal. He'll probably get a talking to by Idzik and the PR team, like Torre did to Jeter when he was dating Mariah and he'll lay low for a bit and be more under the radar. I was on board with Cousins for awhile, but I watched him closely in those last 2 or 3 games where they sat RGIII, and I was surprisingly Unimpressed with him. I saw him make some poor throws, and make some poor decisions, and I also was surprised at some lack of arm strength. I would much rather go Vick or McCown if we are bringing in a FA vet.

RE: Cousins--the smart thing to do in Washington is to get Cousins out of there, if only to placate RGIII. Jay Gruden already came out and anointed RGIII the no-doubt starter, and it's not like Cousins played well enough to justify keeping him around as a distraction. If he gets floated for a conditional third (that turns into a two based on playing time), he'd be an attractive option for plenty of teams. As it relates to Geno, Idzik realistically has this offseason and next to find a franchise QB, or at least one that can bridge the franchise respectably until they get one. If they think there's even a chance that Geno is coming off the rails at all, they desperately need to protect themselves one way or another.

In a heartbeat, and if thats the best they can do in FA, then I'm all for it, but hopefully, they can do even better in FA and the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzieny Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Whatever happened to that video that was posted on Jet Nation portraying Geno as the second coming of Mother Threresa. This after reports that he was doing Bong hits with that Winslow thug, and now his god almighty attitude because he doesnt like flying coach, and not being able to listen to his gangster rap. Dude, if you have 85 QBR, and throw for 25, with 10 picks, you can get away with this crap, but when you are a turnover machine, with a 65 QBR, and rated last in the league, it wont take much for most NFL teams to give you a one way ticket to the CFL. Lucky for Geno REX is our coach, as he loves thugs, and gangsters. Heck , most times he makes them Captain. Cmon Joewillie - what choice did Rex have in handing Eugene the starting QB job. Sanchez was injured, Garrard was unable to play and Smith was Idzik's pick. No way Simms would be allowed to start. I would find it disturbing if Eugene was the starter next year. That would mean Idzik really didn't want to look bad in picking him with the 2nd round pick. We need to sign a vet and draft a QB and let him beat out Eugene. I bet WHOEVER they draft as a QB will be light years better than Eugene. There are so many talented QB's coming out its ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 If you think about it, like really think about it... Geno, escorted off a jet plane... it's probably just foreshadowing. wow the captain didnt even want him on the plane, and he gets escorted OUT of LAX altogether. That's embarrassing. You don't make a scene at an airport or on the plane. There is zero tolerance for any crap. They don't care who you are, especially if you're the starting qb for the NY Jets LOL. Headline: Jet kicked off of Jet. Wow he just disgraced our team symbol Sorry but you don't get KICKED OUT OF AN AIRPORT for nothing. He wasn't even allowed to reschedule on another airline. Hilarious. He obviously lost his cool and didnt convince the cops with his side of the story. Another example of this moron's lack of maturity, lack of character and his commitment to being a spoiled brat. Uh that's a heck of a post. POST OF THE YEAR!

The students do it all the time as the bars get packed and you cant even get near the restrooms, and quite frankly, with some of the bars, the street is cleaner than the restroom. I hope you werent downtown and had to walk up to Cornell, as that is like scaling a cliff to get up there and to do it bombed, well, even with all the practice I had, I still rarely made it without either passing out, puking, or both. By the way a cab? Really? We have like one cab company in the whole damned city, and when his car breaks down, then we have none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't "escorted" out of the airport, and I thought he reserved sound judgement when "addressing" the TMZ video man. He could have said a lot more, or pulled an Alec Baldwin. I'm also glad he had support in the area show up as quickly as they did, he could've been mobbing with a "crew". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems if he had to be thrown off the plane, there would have been an incident report made. I dunno how these things work, but it sounds like a disgruntled airline worker antagonized Geno and he responded. Maybe Geno gave him/her attitude to provoke it, but he doesn't seem that stupid or loosely wound to start sh*t over hanging a phone up. Who knows though.

JetsFanInDenver Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 According to a post on airliners.net: The accounts are getting conflated. From what I've been able to glean, he refused to take his headphones off, because the law no longer requires one to do so. FA decided he was on the phone. He claimed he wasn't. FA grabbed headphones/phone by accounts of others. Smith found that unacceptable (wouldn't anyone?). He was asked to leave and then he asked to call the police to report the treatment. He was not escorted from the aircraft nor did the airline call police from multiple accounts I read. So usually when these things go down, the airline rebooks you. But they chose to standby him, which was a bad move. He was already annoyed and possibly assaulted and then they wouldn't confirm a seat. So he got mad, and they called cops and had him leave. And I'm not one to support the race card, but it honestly sounds as if he was prejudged on this one twice. Once re: being a prima Donna on the aircraft. And then at the new gate for being a "big black man." I've seen people who don't look like him act worse and not be escorted from terminal nor denied boarding. He might just have a point here. If anyone should be complaining here its Geno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep your name out the papers. . Here's one of my favorite sports stories: Shaq, when he was in his second year with the Magic, was out at a club one night, chilling. He's got a columnist with him working on a piece about what Shaq's life is like off the court. So, Shaq decides it's time to leave, and he and the reporter jump in his giant Escalade and roll out of the parking lot. They don't get 500 feet before a cop pulls him over. The cop comes to the window and acts like a real a$$hole, saying he pulled them over because they were "swerving." The cop accuses Shaq of driving drunk, being high, etc etc. Shaq just nods, denies everything, and ultimately gets a ticket for reckless operation of a motor vehicle. When they drove off, the columnist asks Shaq what he planned to do about what was obviously police harassment. Shaq said, "I'm going to pay the ticket. Keep him (the cop) from getting his name in the paper." That's a long way of saying that athletes are going to get their balls busted by the public and they have to know when to back away. If a stewardess tells you to do something as simple as turning your phone off for five minutes until the plane gets off the ground, you should do it, especially if you're famous.
