Word is they were havingan argument, and Smith stuck his finger in IK's face, and bang

What kind of a child would escalate a finger in the face to throwing a punch? IK needs to man up.

Geno, however, needs to be a leader and diffuse situations like that, not escalate them.

I do not want to blame the victim here. Geno gets enough grief.

But if he is pissing off a teammate so much that it comes to this, has he really matured enough to be a starting QB? IK is clearly in the wrong here, but it does say something about Geno in the locker room.

I agree with this. IK was wrong but Geno seems to be too immature and not a leader, and wouldn't have made it pass a bad game and the booing from the crowd. I also think Geno's time in NY should come to an end.

When I first heard this, I was hoping it was Geno trying to be a leader in the locker room, and IK not taking it the right way.

But Bowles keeps referring to it as a "6th grade altercation", which gives little reason to think Geno has matured the way some here have predicted . . .

He won't, and he shouldn't.

But he should learn about maturity and being a leader on a team. Just playing the QB position doesn't give you leadership by default.

He won't be released, but we will probably here more about the altercation and Geno's childish behaviors well.

In related news, the national media, half of the Jets beat writers, and Patriots fans have suddenly in the past hour come to the conclusion that Geno Smith is a great QB. They have stopped laughing at him, and are now talking about how huge a loss this is for the Jets.

Geno wont be released..... but I think his days as a starter may be over. I actually was pulling for Fitz anyway. I would like to see Fitz this year and next.... then Petty long term. If the stories are true... and Geno was too immature to diffuse the argument, then I don't want him around either. I cant see Rogers or Manning or even cheater Brady in such a predicament...... but dumb ass Geno....right there in the middle. That is not a starting quarterback....... As for IK..... who cares. He was a marginal player at best..... and his career is toast..

How Stupid!!! On both parts...I can buy two guys in the heat of competition, but in the locker room before the season starts?

On to Fitz...I am feeling more and more like '98 all over again, and we don't have to see if "Foley" can handle the job.

IMO, blessing in disguise!

Best thing is this allows Petty to practice/play with the 2's, and really help his development

I expect Matt Flynn to be a Jet by Thursday

Nobody touches IK after this. That was a career-ending punch for him.

Geno? Not sure his days are fully done. I think it may work out for the best for the Jets, anyway. Sign a guy like Flynn to be your #2 and Petty to apprentice. Hand the keys over to Fitz, and let him sink or swim. If he swims, stick with him. If he sinks, Geno comes back - with the support of the crowd - off the bench to replace him. Either way, it clears up a lot of the uncertainty going into the season. Now you know absolutely who it is going to be, and it's not Geno looking over his shoulder after every play.

Not sure who this guy is, but pretty much loses all credibility with this statement.

At some point we HAVE to see what we have in Geno. If Fitz comes out with a Vinny-esque performance, then of course he keeps the job. But to assume Geno's done assumes Fitz will light things up, and I don't see where that assumption has any basis in reality.

On a different note, does a broken jaw keep Geno from practicing? Two more months of familiarity in the system could be a blessing in disguise, but only if he's allowed on the field . . .


Hypothetically, Jets are 4-0 when Geno comes back. You think Fitzpatrick/Petty/whoever sits? What has Geno done to prove that the job is his?

It's Geno's fault? Who has said it's Geno's fault?

So what does getting punched in the face by guy who has been violent in the past , with an arrest record , say about Geno in the locker room? I'm curious?
