New York Jets offensive coordinator Chan Gailey delivered a 1,200-watt vote of confidence in quarterback Geno Smith, shocking the world by effectively ending Smith's competition with Ryan Fitzpatrick before it even began.
This news was shocking not just because of Smith's struggles through his first two years in the NFL, but also because of Gailey's deep ties to Fitzpatrick. That being said, the Jets' faith in Smith may be a bit surprising and premature, but it is not completely misplaced.
On paper, conceptually speaking, Smith's fit in Gailey's offense is a match made in X's and O's heaven, drawn on a chalkboard with pearly white chalk and surrounded by a chorus of angels.
