On Wednesday Rex Ryan was asked if Geno Smith was a franchise quarterback.\u00a0 His response was interesting:<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to get into that. I was happy with seeing the improvement that he made and the conscious effort that he made from Week Two to Week Three, and it was in the incompletions. He threw four or five balls away that he wasn\u2019t going to force the issue. So to me, he\u2019s mindful of that. He\u2019s not going to force (it). He\u2019s not going to make the critical error. Now, he may make a physical error, where he under threw a ball, whatever, that may happen, but it\u2019s the ones where you\u2019re forcing it and really to be able to process it to where it\u2019s like, weighing the positives and the minuses of it, I thought he was able to do that last week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Rex has definitely toned down his responses this year.\u00a0 He is going out of his way to avoid making big statements.\u00a0 That is a good thing because the answer to the question about Geno Smith will take more than 3 weeks to determine.\u00a0 Geno Smith is the starting QB, so Jets fans certainly hope he becomes a franchise QB.\u00a0 It is simply too early to answer that question definitively.<\/p>\n
The early signs look good though.<\/p>\n
Santonio Holmes was asked if he is happy with what he has seen from Smith through the first 3 games.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re more so happy with the opportunities he\u2019s given us. He\u2019s putting the ball in great positions for us to make big plays for our team. He\u2019s helping our team out, running the football, making the right call at the line of scrimmage and our offensive line has really given him an opportunity to pass the ball.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
