When word leaked out last week that Chan Gailey, the Jets’ new offensive coordinator, gave the starting quarterback gig to Geno Smith, you half-expected Rod Serling to tell you this was a preamble to the Twilight Zone.
What has Smith done to inherit anything other than a place in the gaggle of competitors?
In his two years (30 games), Smith has completed a paltry 57.5 percent of his passes, thrown 25 touchdowns and 34 interceptions. Granted, he’s had a dearth of dominant teammates, and his former head coach considered offense his blind side.
But Smith has often looked lost on the football field.
