Geno Smith can redefine his career outside of New York pressure cooker

For better or worse, Geno Smith is going to be referenced a lot when it comes to New York football trivia in the coming years.

For example, Smith is the last New York Jets quarterback to post a perfect passer rating, one of six to reach the elusive 158.3 mark. He also holds franchise rookie records in green for most passing yards (3,046) and highest completion percentage (55.8), both set after he was unexpectedly thrust into the job as a freshman.

Giants fans, however, likely know him as the one that indirectly ended Eli Manning‘s famous streak, as that lone December start sounded the death knell to the Ben McAdoo/Jerry Reese era.
