Boomer Esiason rips Geno Smith in front of Brandon Marshall

Geno Smith may have to start for the New York Jets against the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday, and more than a few people are skeptical about how that will turn out. One of them is Boomer Esiason, who bashed Smith on Tuesday night’s episode of “Inside the NFL.”

But this wasn’t your typical analyst criticizing a quarterback who has underachieved. It was a lot more awkward. Why? Because Brandon Marshall, Smith’s teammate, is also on the “Inside the NFL” panel.

When Marshall said he is a “big fan” of Smith’s and is “proud” of him, Esiason was quick to start pointing out the former West Virginia star’s flaws.
