Geno Smith Escorted off airplane by police for verbal altercation
Apparently he was upset with their seating policy. Can't you see Brady, Manning or Rodgers doing this?
http://deadspin.com/geno-smith-alleg...ops-1503821554 Geno Smith Allegedly Escorted Off Plane By LAX Cops [UPDATE] Geno Smith Allegedly Escorted Off Plane By LAX Cops [UPDATE] SEXPAND Jets quarterback Geno Smith was apparently escorted off a Virgin America flight at LAX today by police after what a witness called a "verbal altercation." The photo you see above was sent to us by a reader who witnessed the incident and says the shot came "moments before" Smith was escorted out of the airport by cops. Our tipster wasn't the only person who saw it: @JimmyTraina I don't have video, but I'm at LAX and just saw a Geno Smith fiasco yelling at Virgin America workers. Escorted by cops LOL — Mark Rue (@markyOso) January 17, 2014 We're working on getting more details, but it looks like Geno's weekend isn't off to a great start. Update (7:11 p.m.): Our tipster fills in some details: We were waiting for our flight at LAX to Vegas and were put on standby on Virgin American just like Geno. We were told to get seat assignment at 2:40. Apparently Geno was not on board with that. My friend walked over to discuss seat assignment and Geno was saying to airline ticket agents, "**** that, this is bullshit." "Why the **** do I have to wait until 2:40." He would not let it go. He continued to curse and be loud for about 5 minutes. Police were called. They talked for a few minutes and then 3 officers escorted him out of the terminal.

Reid and Dorsey aren't stupid. They probably had the deal tentatively in place, went to the combine to assess their options, and then decided they definitely preferred Alex Smith. |

Just because you didn't say there weren't issues, doesn't mean that's how all Geno supporters acted. The Geno ballwashers have been making excuses for the red flags, shouting how great he is after a good game, then disappearing after the bad ones. I liked Geno going into the draft, and CP has made me despise him after the draft. |

Then Blackbob would show up... And sure, people made excuses for Geno. I did that plenty of times. A few times were unwarranted, but there were several other occasions (the close losses to Ok State and Oklahoma) where people were making big deals out of nothing. And you can bet that I also expressed concern about his poor play when it happened. The Texas Tech game and the Pinstripe Bowl are the blackest spots on his 2012 resume. He got no excuses from me after those games. |

Wanted him pre-draft. Glad I was wrong.

Even the Jets wouldn't take him until their third pick of the draft, that ought to tell us something. The team that valued him the highest in the draft probably considered the pick a flyer.
As far as turning the reins over to him... well, the Jets are where they are because they do things like that. |

Lost the tie breaker for a playoff spot
Second highest qbr in the league over his last 4 games, two of those defenses were Carolina and Cleveland. Those are elite level defenses. Beat the Patriots and Saints. Won player of the week honors in defeating the Patriots Lets not act like the kid can't play in the league...he just needs to get a counselor to help deal with these types of emotional problems. It makes me think he might have a drug problem...especially after his reaction to when Mooch asked him about the drug of choice at West Virginia. |

No shit, I haven't seen this uber talent. He looks amazingly like Tony Banks. Nice deep ball most of the time, a ton of fumbles and INTs, a little bit of pocket mobility and not much else. Comparison made because of skillset, not color. |

In reality, Geno can only dream of becoming someone who is as secure with the ball and efficient as Alex Smith. |

If we had drafted Genome and won 8 games, people here wouldn't be mad.
