Agents get fired every day, now we need a justifiable reason because Geno fired his.
Dog.....niqqas in here are on the Jets groupthink steez, and that writers opinion in why he fired them was nut swallowed as fact by some of these cats in here.

Everybody knew that this draft was very underwhelming as far as QB, so for that you can place blame on the agent for not doing his homework.
The reality is that the powers that be decided his worth(and I agree with the post that said he was drafted too early). The reasons his draft stock plummeted is because
1)He collapsed when WV got into the Big XII conference schedule. After losing to us(OU), he wasn't the same.
2)Tavon Austin and Steadman Bailey created the perception that they were the entire offense and he was there only to distribute the ball. Both receivers improved their stock in that game. I personally thought that Steadman Bailey was gonna be drafted before Smith.
3)The bias that tall QB are better suited to play the QB position than shorter ones. E.J. Manuel on paper and in sight looks like he could be a potential good prospect. Although, I question his pocket composure and his knack to make very timely and costly mistakes in clutch situations, Buffalo is taking the chance that they can help him correct those things to help him mature into a good QB... With his other talents, he can be great. A risk worth taking from a club that hasn't had a franchise QB since the 90's. This was a bad draft for QB's. There was nothing that could be really done, but to be more informed about the possibility of his draft status dropping because of the quality of QB's.
All is well and he got drafted.... He's on the clock now because that pick was very unpopular among Jets fans and Rex Ryan is trying to save his job. If he's as good as he says he is he'll be named the starter, because the Jets can do no worse at QB.

And Gruden said he is a first round pick, which doesn't usually translate to a player being trash.
Kyle Boeller was a first round pick too.
And Geno Smith was a 2nd round pick so much for Gruden's opinion
I never thought people took Grueden's show seriously. I've only seen part of one episode but seems a lot more about talking trash to the kidsKyle Boeller was a first round pick too.

There is no exact science to selecting a qb. Touting its potential failures is just as stupid as Gruden who thinks he can predict its successes.
Definitely true, a lot of these dudes fail due to bad coaching or just wrong fits within the system.
Geno has an uphill battle, they need to be patient with him. He was coming from a team loaded on offense.

And also played under three offensive coordinators the last three years. I think it's a plus that he's performed well through all that.
The Bills drafted Manuel because they like him in cold weather. Seems like a very Billsesque thing to do.

I think it's because he's made his rounds and is a high character kid. Same with Lattimore.
He was tops on my draft board of qbs because I heard him on NFL readio and elsewhere. I heard ZERO for Geno pre draft. I don't think nada good team of handlers around him.
Bills suck. Any draft pick would have been an improvement.

"So Geno Smith's former agents leak details of a private client dinner and we're talking about Smith's character. Got it."

Get out my way, pimpin'.
I'd have fired my agents too. I bet if he was picked first day dude would have stuck around for all the photo ops.
