Geno Smith was knocked down, in the most humiliating way, by a teammate. Out he went, in came Ryan Fitzpatrick, and the rest is Jets history.
It is nine months after IK Enemkpali, and Smith has gotten up, gotten up as Plan B until Fitzpatrick and the Jets end their contract impasse. But Smith has gotten up with an unyielding belief that he will stand tall again and grab a franchise by the throat and lead it.
He is asked this question by The Post at his locker: Can you win with this team?
“Yes,” Smith said.
