Bleedin Green Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Come on, everyone knows that any real GM gets the permission of every single person in his draft room before daring to select any player. The 31 other teams clearly came to unanimous decisions on all of their picks. What ******* nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sackdance Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 His grade, positional value, and draft slot all matched up fine. This convo is so dumb. Perfectly reasonable trying for a prospect like that in that slot. How reasonable is it to revolve an entire franchise around a talented, though unpolished QB who was drafted on the cheap - and after he was legitimately beaten out for the starting job by Sanchez (in the pre-season - despite fans, media, and coaching staff rooting for him) and finishing 2013 as the lowest rated passer in the NFL to not take a shot at at Bridgewater or Manziel? Talk about top tier QB talent slipping down a draftboard - don't forget we already passed on Geno twice before selecting him and declaring him savior. And frankly, we'd be in a far better spot if we went 1-3 under Vick and then pulled him to see what kind of fire can burn inside of Geno. Instead we have a clown QB who yells at fans. Just another behavioral red flag to footnote in Geno's ghastly career. I hope I'm not there or watching when he finally rolls out of bounds looking downfield.

We waited too long on Sanchez and we are doing the same thing with Geno. No shame in failing when trying for a QB, but this refusal to call it a day twice in a row is now ridiculous. The fact that he made an ass out of himself after the game should have made the decision that much easier. The dude threw a ******* Hail Mary out of bounds last week. That doesn't even happen in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 how is this news? the GM makes the draft picks (except, apparently, for Rex's annual pet selection). idzik was 100% right to take geno, no matter how it turns out. a team looking for a QB picking the consensus best QB just a few months before the draft, taking the guy in the 2nd? no brainer. now if we see sanchez-like blind allegience to the guy... that is a different discussion.

RSJ Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Even if Geno Smith is a colossal bust (he's not) he was the 39th overall pick. Who gives a f***? Yeah except they have been marching him out there for a year and a half because of the same person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't even happen in high school. That's the learning opportunity here. I'm tired of coddling a guy and giving him unlimited opportunities just because he was somewhat high as a draft pick. Give me a guy who's going to actually get better and proves that he's the franchise guy instead of everyone just standing around waiting for him to magically become one. Geno's not a rookie anymore, you have two home games in a row like he did in Chicago and against Detroit and really the 2nd half of Green Bay, then you deserve to get benched. You don't just trot him out again because of his draft status. He doesn't deserve to play at least the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Why is this a story? They missed on a 2nd round draft pick. Its not unusual (especially for the Jets and their terrible scouting) and if its not a defensive player I doubt Rex has anything to do with it anyway. It doesn't change the fact that Geno sucks and Rex is a buffoon. At the time we made the pick, on draft day, I posted a history of 2nd round draft picks for the Jets. We've already gotten more out of Geno than we have almost every 2nd rounder we've taken for like a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're talking about being more impressive than guys like Stephen Hill, Kellen Clemens, Justin Miller, Mike Nugent, Victor Hobson, and Vlad Ducasse. I'm not exactly impressed.

It's really about weighing the value of the young guy, with unrealized potential, getting reps and being given the chance to fight his way out of a funk... vs. playing a washed up veteran that showed no desire to win the starting job in the pre-season.

I just think that overall, sending a guy who's underperforming as badly as Geno is out there again after his most recent string of performances is just wrong. It's probably just the fan in me talking, but I think on a base level you have to keep these guys accountable somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets Voice of Reason Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It's his second season in the league, Jesus. Look around the league at the young QBs. Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick, Nick Foles, Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, RG III pre-knee injuries, did any of them look this bad at QB 20 games into their careers? Did any of them turnover the ball at this rate at any point over the same sample size? We're talking about franchise guys here and whether you have one. Geno doesn't look anything close to them. You typically have some sort of an idea if you have something good pretty early on. Just look in the division, EJ manuel and ryan tannehill already have doubts cast on them as well.

bitonti Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 By the way I have a serious question....isn't the final call on the draft choice supposed to be the GMs call?????? always. There are some who claim otherwise, but they would be mistaken. It's always the GM's call. Or "key decision maker" i.e. it could be the owner Jerry Jones or the HC like Belly.

Lupz27 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Oooooooweeeeeeeeee bolts are falling out of the hull, baby. CYA time up in Florham, like the good ol' days. This is what happens when the Billy Beane approach fails, like football if young cheap drafted Pitchers (QB's) don't pan out the business model fails. Sign your stud players, and pick up a FA, or 3 to fill holes instead of cheaping out everywhere forcing young unproven players to play big roles when their not ready. You can't count on finding a Russell Wilson, it just doesn't happen, Idzik tried this, and like Beane it's his way no matter how much he makes it look like everyone is included in the decision making. Go ask an A's manager if he really gets to actually manage, if he told you the truth the answer would be NO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetscode1 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Time to get rid of Idzik and return to Terry Bradway cause his track record of identifying play makers is just that much better...I mean he did say after the fact he liked Russel Wilson and wanted to draft him with all his heart...
