In Other News .... Jets bench Michael Vick in favor of Geno Smith

[Betallsports]

As the New York Jets continue to search desperately for any positive momentum offensively, the team announced it will switch starting quarterbacks again.


The Jets announced via their verified Twitter account early Wednesday morning Michael Vick will be benched in favor of Geno Smith.


"QB Update: Rex (Ryan) met with Geno Smith & Mike Vick this morning and told the QBs that Geno will get the start vs. MIA on Monday Night."


Smith started the Jets' first eight games before the Jets decided to turn to Vick in hopes of jump-starting the offense. The Jets went 1-7 during that stretch, with the opening-week victory coming at the expense of the Oakland Raiders.


Vick went 1-2 during his three games as the starter guiding the Jets to a solid victory at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Nov. 9, 20-13.
Played for the first time Monday night in almost a month in relief of Vick.


Smith finishhed 10 of 12 for 89 yards, and was sacked twice in the 38-3 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions. The game was moved there after heavy snow forced the Bills to relocate because Ralph Wilson Stadium would not be ready to host a football game.


Smith has completed 57.6 % of his passes in 2014 with seven touchdowns, 10 interceptions and 17 sacks.

They seem equally effective, so might as well go with the lefty.

think they should pick some guy off the street

Here's what I don't understand. We all know by now that neither QB has been effective and are definitely NOT the QB of the future for this team.

On Nov. 1, they signed Matt Simms to the active roster, so why not use him in a real game. He seemed to do well in the preseason games and it's about time they battle tested him and see if he's not the future starting QB of the NYJ. The other two are proven losers. At least Simms seems to to have the pedigree to be a starting NFL QB.

Agree with this 100%
Not like they can save this season

 

[Betallsports]

Yep

 

[Willie99]

Tim Tebow is waiting

maybe if they're nice, he'll remove the curse he set upon them

Amen Bet. Either way..... reach in a bag with Geno and Vick in it...... you pull out a piece of shit for a quarterback.

I sure hope you are kidding Willie. Tim would have a better chance trying to catch on with Jimmie Swaggart!

Idzik did a great job in sabotaging the season so he can get his own guy to be head coach. Not sure he will be around long enough to hire the next coach though.

How the hell did the Jets beat Pittsburgh their last game?

 

[packer2012]

I would think really Pittsburgh probably beat Pittsburgh. The Jets just stood across the field and watched.

Woody knows there are a lot of angry season ticket holders that won't be renewing if Idzik is still around .
Best to clean house and bring in someone to give the fans some sense of hope.
Worst thing to happen to this team is to finish strong like last year.

I'm hoping that they run the table

I was hoping that they would spank the Bills on Monday.

​all i can say is,this team is totally fucked up,.....seems like everything the ryan name is involved in goes to shit,.....the jets have been total misfits since ryan has been there,.....rob ryan has really fucked up whatever defense the saints had,....that name is a total jinx for any team in the nfl,.....nothing else to say about it

Geno Smith never should have been drafted. W. Virginia lost 5 of the last 6 games he played in and Smith had 2 of the speediest and most athletic receivers in the country to throw to. Tavon Austin & Stedmen Bailey have proved themselves much more in the pros than Smith.

 

[JackStraw77]

Vick is playing himself out of the league.

So is Geno Smith

So is (coaching) Sexy Rexy Ryan

Philly loved Buddy Ryan....never lost to Dallas when he was there.....and he had a great defense......just couldn't win the big one.....
