Time to call Jerry McGuire
Geno Smith fire rep after fall to Jets
Thursday, as we've chronicled numerous times, wasn't the best day of Geno Smith's life. He spent all night on camera, not getting drafted, and probably was more than a little flustered that he was on camera, not getting drafted. As such, he's decided to part ways with his agent. CBSSports.com's Bruce Feldman reports that Geno informed his agents "late last night" that he was moving on. It shouldn't be entirely shocking to see Smith change representation. The quarterback, presumably, was advised to attend the 2013 NFL Draft and accept the invitation from the NFL to sit in the green room during Round 1 of the draft on Thursday. No one thought he'd actually spend the entire night in the green room and not end up with a team; the worst-case scenario involved someone trading back into the first round to grab him. But when the Jets decided to pass on Smith at No. 13 and the Bills decided to take E.J. Manuel with the No. 16 pick, Smith's freefall began and he wasn't chosen until the Jets grabbed him in the second round at No. 39 overall. It's possible, as Feldman noted on Twitter Tuesday, that Smith wants to link up with Joel Segal, who also represents former West Virginia teammate (and highly-coveted wide receiver/No. 8 overall pick) Tavon Austin. Of course, maybe it's heightened expectations that doomed Smith: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/ey...ft-day-plummet |

Get your ready because Geno's thin skin coupled with the shark invested NY sports(you should have won yesterday) media along with a shitty offense not to mention shitty situation in general will make for a likely weekly drama QB queen entertainment for sure. Just this little move in firing his agent say's volumes about his ego and not owning up to anything he did wrong. I wonder if he is our President's love child ? |

I'm not sure even Jerry Ma- "****ing" -guire could be Geno's Ambassador of Quan.

Fisher got drafted #1 overall because of the Senior Bowl. Geno fell to the second for the same reason. And the fact that Manuel went to the SR bowl and actually performed fairly well surely has something to do with leapfrogging Smith. His agent was just flat wrong and deserved to be fired.

Per @JasonColeYahoo, Geno Smith was on Twitter while visiting teams. Hope he's not on now. Won't find anything good http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--ge...183846651.html … |

Now, if his agents were with him on pre-draft visits I would probably blame them for not telling Geno to turn off his cell phone while he's in a job interview.
