Maybe mariota but Winston seems like a potential bust to me.

LOL, Winston seems more like a bust than the dude from a college that has a system. I bet the next qb for Oregon puts up similar numbers. You remember Dennis Dixon?

I can't say for sure. A report just came out that states the Jets' coaching staff forced Geno to throw to covered guys in the Bills' game:

Jets coaches predetermined throws for Geno Smith


"While the front office is still invested in its second-round pick and wants to know whether he can be the future franchise quarterback, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport said on NFL GameDay First that there is a fear that coaches might have stunted Smith's growth by dictating the quarterback's reads.

"Usually a quarterback is able to drop back, go through his reads then deliver the ball. I am told that Geno Smith was informed of his reads, told, 'You need to throw the ball here on certain plays,'" Rapoport said. "The most egregious example came on an interception on a pass intended for Percy Harvin that Stephon Gilmore, the Bills corner, picked off. Smith was told; 'This is where you need to throw the ball.' And obviously, for a quarterback who is now taking a breather last game and this game, may have hurt his development a little bit."

It's certainly an indictment on Smith's growth that coaches didn't trust him enough to make the proper reads. However, it's an even bigger indictment on a coaching staff that would insist on predetermining reads and throws pre-snap. The approach also partially explains why Smith seemed to regress this season.

In other words, it looks like the Jets' coaching staff micromanaged Geno to the bench. He made some stunning reads in that Bills game I didn't understand. Now I see that the staff sabotaged him
