Jets start the circus anew, draft Geno Smith

Geno

They avoided the quarterback market for a day, but couldn’t stay out for long.

The Jets triggered this year’s controversy, by drafting West Virginia’s Geno Smith with the 39th overall pick.

If Mark Sanchez wasn’t on the hot seat already, it just went nuclear, as they found someone with more passing skills than Tim Tebow to push him.

They might as well cut Sanchez now, and save everyone the trouble in what is clearly a rebuilding year for the Jets. Of course, if it wasn’t for the Rams trading up for Tavon Austin last night, the Jets would have had an exciting, if not polished, new identity on offense.
