It still falls back on the player to make the most out of his path. Elite players will find ways to win regardless of the situation. Do I expect Geno Smith to play at an Elite level regardless of the team he was drafted on? Yes. Even though his team, coaches, and front office might be in transition from teh suck... it's his job along with the rest of his teammates to get to work and win. Can we say Geno would have an easier path if he would've went to another franchise? Sure, but life isn't fair and he is still going to get a chance to prove himself. Good QB's elevate the players around them. I expect Geno to form a chemistry with a WR or two on the current Jets roster, and I expect them to break out into stars. The same thing Tom Brady does with every WR on his roster. The same thing Peyton Manning has done for his WR's. |

It's the QB's job to develop a relationship with his receivers, throw them the ball, and give them a chance to show the world that they can do what it takes. It's easy to say a WR sucks... but in truth that WR may be a talented mofo that just couldn't build any chemistry with his QB. (Jon Baldwin I hope?) I Expect Geno Smith to be a leader, develop chemistry with his WR's, and make his surrounding cast stars.... the same thing he did with Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey at WV. He fed them the ball with great accuracy. If Geno Smith sucked and was launching balls like Matt Cassel, nobody would know who the hell Bailey and Austin are. |

True Fan "logic" never fails to be laughable.
Geno texts on his phone = "too risky, bust, glad we don't have him" Alex Smith compiles YEARS of proven sub-mediocrity, gets benched for a parade of scrub quarterbacks, watches his backup lead their team to the Super Bowl, and is a mentally fragile bitch = "So glad we traded for him!" The blind Geno haters on here remind me of all the Charger fans who spent years blindly defending AJ and Norv just because they were associated with the Chargers. Dumb "logic" like this from far-too-easily-pleased True Fans allows franchises to justify charging everyone else a premium for mediocrity.

that was a pretty good point that was made
but I'm pretty sure a few times (like Matt Ryan) if we REALLY wanted to...we could have traded up from 5 to 3 to take Ryan |

It seems Geno was made more than he is, by his receivers, not the other way around.
He did a lot of dumping balls off while the receivers created YAC inflating his numbers. |

If it's true that Geno has a bit of an attitude problem (and there's a lot of smoke leading you to believe it's a bigger problem than we thought), then I really don't care if we passed him up. I was all about grabbing him at 1.1. But it's pretty amazing how stuck people are on trying to defend the guy. There's plenty of smoke that leads you to believe maybe he's not the character guy we thought he was.

Maybe the Jets will bring in Terrell Owens. By mid-season would should hear quite a bit about Geno.
