FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Geno Smith has never doubted himself or lacked confidence in his abilities.
Not when he slid to the second round of the NFL draft in 2013. Not when he struggled through two up-and-down years as the New York Jets’ starting quarterback. And certainly not when he was sent to the sideline as a backup last season.
With Ryan Fitzpatrick still unsigned and locked in a contract stalemate with the Jets, Smith is back as the team’s starting quarterback. Maybe for just a few more days or weeks. But maybe, depending on what happens with Fitzpatrick, for another season.
