Jets’ Geno Smith Blames Media For Poor Play
By Sam Richmond
Geno Smith is placing the blame on the media for his struggles this season.
New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith has had a miserable start to the 2014 NFL season. The second-year pro has posted 1,139 passing yards and six touchdowns, along with seven interceptions and five fumbles.

Who’s to blame for that? Well, according to the quarterback, the media is at fault.
From Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News:
In a conference call with New England media, Geno Smith blamed his issues this season on the media. Really. #nyj

Geno: "Obviously with everything that goes on with the media, a lot of things are, I would say, miscommunicated..." (cont) #nyj

Smith has made many errors in judgement this season and this is yet another one. Blaming the media is never a good move, especially considering Smith has never shown an ability to be a successful NFL quarterback.
This surely won’t end well for Smith, as these latest comments will subject to even more criticism than he’s already taken.
The Jets drafted Smith with the No. 39 overall pick of the 2013 NFL Draft. The Jets fell to 1-5 on the season Sunday to the Denver Broncos, with Smith throwing an interception returned for a touchdown late in the game.
