ALL ABOUT GENO SMITH’S JAW
Everything you need to know about the Jets and Geno Smith’s broken jaw
Yet another sad chapter in Jets history unfolded Tuesday, and we’ve got a heaping helping of links to help you understand the tragedy that is the New York Jets. Also, the NFL’s race to Los Angeles and more!
So much for Geno Smith's breakout season. He got his jaw broken by a (former) teammate over $600, the airfare for a flight he had a perfectly good excuse for missing. Smith will miss 6-10 weeks.
- Ryan Fitzpatrick will start for the Jets now, another story for the Harvard alumni magazine.
- Rookie head coach Todd Bowles has some responsibility in all of this.
- Michael Vick isn't expecting a call from the Jets, but they are expected to bring in a veteran quarterback.
- Smith's Jets teammates responded to the incident about how you'd expect.
- 11 people we'd rather be punched by than the guy who punched Geno Smith.
- The guy who punched him apologized, so there's that. Could he be charged with assault? He may have done Jets fans a favor.
- Bryce Petty should start because he's way more fun to watch than anyone else on the Jets roster.
- In the end, it's yet another sad chapter of recent Jets history ... maybe not even the worst. It's hard to be a Jets fan.
- HOT TAKES: Mike Florio weighed in, of course; one ESPN personality blamed Geno for getting punched.
