Beat writers in New York have suggested Geno’s rope might only last four games, before the Jets’ Week 5 bye. You earn your keep by the day… Offensively, I think we’re young and we need to know our job. I’m only going to play a couple of more years.

WR Percy Harvin was a versatile player that could be used in so many different places on the offense and with his explosiveness and game breaking ability he must be accounted for when and where he lined up. Smith’s development is key to any potential playoff run.
“I won’t know that until they get back”, Bowles said of Milliner and Ridley. “Whether it’s mental, whether it’s confidence or whether it’s physical”. “I think if you ask somebody, ‘Who’s the best?’ they’re probably going to say themselves”.
“Talent only takes you so far”, Marshall said Tuesday at the NASDAQ Market building in Times Square, where he participated in a panel discussion on youth sports.
Ryan Fitzpatrick provides Smith his first legitimate competition for the starting job since Mark Sanchez was injured in August 2013, but Fitzpatrick’s track record of providing a quick spark before fading fast doesn’t suggest he is the season-long answer. Is it consecutive? Is it just a bad game? He plays hard. He works at it. That’s just him.
The decisions he makes regarding the biggest position on the team could be the difference between a winning or losing season. Everybody has to do their job. And he’s treated like everybody else is treated.

The Jets consistently had one of the NFL’s top defenses under Ryan, and they should be in good hands with Bowles, the former NFL defensive back who was the AP Assistant Coach of the Year last season with Arizona. Given the secondary additions in Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie and Buster Skrine this offseason, it’s fair to expect the Jets to compete right now. Can he cut down on the turnovers (41 in two years) and be the franchise quarterback for whom the Jets have been searching?
