I’m confused, but is Geno Smith the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys or something? How else can you explain these comments from Jets offensive tackle, Willie Colon.
After essentially being named the Jets opening day starter by offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, Geno Smith is in a position to have some success as an NFL quarterback.
Colon told Sirius XM that Smith was “never ready to be the Jets quarterback,” but “he has they keys to the Porsche now.”
“He was never ready to be the starting quarterback of the New York Jets,” Colon told Sirius on Tuesday. “When Mark Sanchez went down, he was thrown into the fire and he was forced to cook. Everybody knows in this league, to be a quarterback, which is the No. 1 position on the field, it’s a maturation period you have to go through. And it takes the mental, the physical, and everything to go along with it, to be the best, or even be in the top 10.
“Now, Geno, with that said, has made his mistakes. He’s said some things where you look at him like, ‘What are you talking about?’ But I think that’s all about his maturation period. And I think right now, like (Cromartie) just mentioned, we bought the Porsche. We’ve given him the keys. He can’t crash it. Bottom line. He can’t crash it.”
Colon was seriously on point, until he mentioned the Porsche. Bringing back Cromartie and Revis makes the defense talented without a doubt.
Brandon Marshall was an upgrade on offense, but that means nothing if the line is weak or the Jets fail to establish a running game.
If the Jets turn into a Pinto, you know who’ll be blamed?
