JetNation Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 By Glenn Naughton With the failed Ryan Fitzpatrick experiment officially over and Geno Smith being re-introduced as the Jets starting quarterback, is it finally time for the Jets’ blazing-fast receivers to start hauling in some long balls? Of all the things we saw Fitzpatrick struggle with this season, perhaps the most frustrating was his inability to connect on the deep ball despite receivers often breaking away from coverage with nothing but green in front of them. Several times, we’ve seen rookie receiver Robby Anderson use his 4.34 40 time (pro-day) to blow past a defender, only to be asked to plant his foot in the ground to pivot, turn back to face the ball, and fight an oncoming defender, resulting in an incomplete pass. With the strongest arm of the Jets 4 quarterbacks, Geno Smith is primed to make some highlight throws. No matter what your feelings are on Smith, there’s no denying he’s got a howitzer for an arm. As a veteran in his fourth NFL season who is familiar with the Jets offense, this should immediately translate to explosive plays down the field for Anderson and fellow burners Quincy Enunwa (4.45), Charone Peake (4.45) and soon-to-return 2015 second round pick Devin Smith (4.42). If, for some reason the quartet of receivers are unable to get open, defenses being forced to respect Smith’s cannon will be left vulnerable underneath with Matt Forte and Bilal Powell sneaking out of the backfield. Also helping Smith as he steps back under center is that despite the Jets having played only six games, they’ve already played many of the top defenses they were set to square off against this season in the Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals, both of whim rank in the top-5 in yards through the air (3rd and 5th respectively) as well as points allowed. All Smith needs now, is for 6’ 6’’ tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins to elevate his play to a level that forces defenses to respect his presence in the middle of the field, and the options for offensive coordinator Chan Gailey will be limitless as Smith’s arm now opens up the whole play book, and gives them no choice but to defend the entire field, because there are few spots on it that Smith’s arm can’t reach.

Stark Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hmm... yeah Geno has a strong arm, big deal - so did JaMarcus Russell. It is not Geno's physical gifts that have any JETS fan concerned, it is his mental lapses. I am hoping for the best, but expecting nothing new from Geno.

Powpow Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I feel like throwing up after reading this dribble. Blaaaaugh. Feel better. First off, Geno does not have the strongest arm. Petty and Hack easily have stronger arms. And in his four years, which really have been 2 years and one game last year, Smith has shown he has little grasp of any offense. And neither is he accurate or able to buy time in the pocket. With the schedule softening from here on, the Jets should compile a few more wins but it's pretty much irrelevant. This season is done and I'd prefer to see Petty get playing time rather than this albatross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not Geno's physical gifts that have any JETS fan concerned, it is his mental lapses. I am hoping for the best, but expecting nothing new from Geno. I really have no clue what to expect but there are many, many QBs that have come through this league that were not very GOOD in their 1st three years but continued on to have very long careers in the NFL. Some of them for a miriad of different reasons. Lack of talent around them, bad coaching, injuries, too many OCs & new systems to learn. Just look at the Pats. They have a system that's been in place forever. Plug & play. Garrapolo obviously had much more chance at success coming up in the Pats system than say the Jets "system"? Do we even know what our system is? Lol. Jameis Winston threw 4 picks in a game this year. Had Geno done that we'd be calling for his head on a stick Lord of the Flies style. As much as I talk about losing, it's just not my style to CHEER for a loss. I played sports, it's just not in my DNA to want to lose any game. Our coaches & players feel the same, so here we go again. Go Geno, Go Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thinks he saw a wobbly pass, on a TD, so that means he has a weak arm. Because he just doesn't get that even a strong armed QB can throw an occasional wobbly pass. Ben does it, Marino did it, Namath did it, all have thrown a wobbler or two. What he sees is a QB he hates and didn't want picked so he's going to go overboard with every pass.

Ive never rooted against a Jet player....until now. To me, anyone rooting for this POS is stupid. He's an insolent, careless, big mouth, head case that lacks talent, humility, and common sense. If that's someone you want to root for be my guest. I've supported them through thick and thin but I have no love lost for this clown and will have a party ? once he's jettisoned off the NY Jets.

When Jason Taylor was a Jet, I wanted him to get steamrolled on every play, but only if there was going to be somebody in the vicinity to prevent any damage. Its not like we've seen in past weeks with people celebrating losses...that's a totally different thing IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And back to the point, he's a Jet and I want them to win. Not to lose just because I hate a player. Doesn't make you smarter, more loyal or a better fan to root against him. Don't see people rooting against Rothlisberger. Guess winning douchbags are tolerable BTW, there isn't a chance in hell you have been a fan longer.
