The New York Jets are currently 2-11 and have decided to go back to Geno Smith at starting quarterback. At this point, they really have nothing to lose. They already know what Mike Vick can do, they might as well play Geno to see if they can help him improve or if he’s a total loss. Well Smith seems very confident in himself and says he’s even shown flashes of Pro Bowl quality in the past.

Jets quarterback Geno Smith is worrying about playing the Titans this weekend, not about the possibility that the Jets are going to take a quarterback early in the 2015 draft.
Smith may have been benched as the Jets have spiraled to 11 losses in their last 12 games this season behind an offense averaging the fewest net passing yards per game, but he says that hasn’t shaken his faith in his ability to be a long-term answer at quarterback. Smith says he has the “utmost” confidence in his ability and a high opinion of some of his work, although he admits that the good things don’t happen often enough.
“I’ve shown flashes of being a Pro Bowl-caliber quarterback, but what we’re looking for here is consistency. The best teams have consistent quarterback play and I realize that and that’s truly what I want to show to the fans and everyone outside the building,” Smith said, via Newsday.
