Dude should have gone. Now his offensive teammates will likely be thinking who the hell does this rookie think he is? He was a second round pick. Proves one of the reasons he dropped and he is doing nothing to prove all the GM's wrong.

Not exactly the WRONG decision, but I think going would have been more right by a long shot.

He says he wasn't invited, so whatever.

It was the wrong decision, period.

He's a rookie QB that had a chance to hang out and work with veteran NFL players. That's a huge bonus for any player, let alone a rookie.

If he went and played lights out, he'd have more support in the locker room this season, not to mention, push his QB rival to work ever harder. If didn't play well, he'd have the opportunity to analyze why he didn't play well and try to correct those issues during training camp.

Anyway you look at it, it's a Lose-Lose for Smith.

media was asking Smith about going to the current camp during the last OTA's


Sanchez said everyone was invited


So now not only is Geno being immature, he's lying about it

The Jets West camp is open to all teammates. Other QB's have been in the past, so I'm not buying it.

Yesterday, he issued a "No Comment".

jets west is some bullshit sanchez made up

it's not official team sponsored event

Geno was probably chillin with Jay Z listening to the new album early and stuff like that

jets west... pfffft

LOL who gives a crap? He'll be leading this team soon enough.

Not a good excuse. Anything attached to a Rex Ryan head coached team is a joke.

True. Meaningless afaic.

Great leader and teammate.

Not sure if he should've gone or not but that sure as heck doesn't make him look like a good dude

Yep, read this yesterday...

The rookie with a lot to prove doesnt have time to attend informal/involuntary practices? mmk, maybe it wasnt such a bad choice to pass on him after all, huh?

Has a chance to prove himself and endear himself to his teammates, against a VERY weak starter... no shows.

Man i got sick of hearing about this mother****er.

But it's not. Chris Ivory, Stephen Hill and other offensive starters are there. It's a time to develop chemistry and become closer as teammates.

Keep in mind, these guys don't play in Minnesota or Jacksonvile. There are 8 million people just in Manhattan and a metric shit ton of media coverage.

Smith has developed a pattern of skipping important events and those that he's attended, he appears to be a whiny crybaby.
