Jets' Geno Smith Named Tier 3 QB Heading Into Week 8

NFL.com named New York Jets veteran Geno Smith a Tier 3 QB heading into Week 8. 

Smith is in the same tier as Kirk Cousins, Bryce Young, Jayden Daniels, Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson, J.J. McCarthy and Sam Darnold. 

In his second stint with the Jets, Smith has 1,623 passing yards, 10 passing touchdowns and two interceptions. He's completing 70.0% of his passes. 

Not only did the Jets lose to the winless Miami Dolphins in Week 7, but WR Garrett Wilson also lost his cool on the sideline, as CBS cameras caught a frustrated Wilson, targeted only three times, screaming at Smith.

After the game, Wilson said he wasn't directing his ire at Smith. He didn't name the target, but it appeared to be passing-game coordinator Seth Ryan, who sat next to Smith.  

"We were collaborating," Wilson said. "I don't even think I was talking to Geno. I think we were both heated, but not at each other at all. We were just disappointed with how we were playing up to that point and wanted to be a little more aggressive. That's what that was."

Wilson finished with only two catches for 26 yards against the Dolphins, who entered the Jets game 0-5. The Ohio State product has 37 catches for 444 yards and three touchdowns this season. 

"Just trying to figure out how we can fix where we're at right now, wanting to get it in our hands and make a difference and try to win these games that we feel like we're a better team -- and we're not," Wilson said. "Like I've said before, I want it in my hands to try and make an impact. So that's all we were talking about, just putting it in our hands and how we can make that happen, being aggressive throughout and keeping ourselves out of those situations so we can win these games."

The Jets are 2-5. They are 5-19 and 0-8 in the AFC East in the Aaron Glenn era. 

Glenn, who used to play for the Jets, understands why Gang Green fans are unhappy. The Jets were booed loudly at halftime and again at the end of the game.

"I understand the fans' frustration -- I really do. I promise you, I do -- but the thing is, I do feel like, man, this program is going in the right direction," Glenn said.

It's time for Jets owner Woody Johnson to fire Glenn. Enough is enough. Glenn is not fit to be an NFL head coach. He once again made a questionable clock-management decision against the Dolphins. This has been a theme for two seasons now. 

Glenn declined to use any timeouts with Miami threatening to score at the end of the first half. Instead of stopping the clock to get another possession, he let the clock run and went to halftime with three unused timeouts.

"I'm highly disappointed in myself," Glenn said. "First and foremost, defensively, we did not play well in the first half."

The Jets are averaging 19.6 points per game. That's 27th in the NFL. They are giving up 21.4 points per game. That's 13th in the league. 

Next up for Glenn and Co. is a matchup against the 3-4 Las Vegas Raiders. It's another home game for the Jets, so if NYJ struggles again, the home fans will boo once more. 

It probably won't happen, but Wilson should think about requesting a trade from the Jets if he wants to win and be productive. The odds of him putting up strong numbers for Gang Green are very, very low. 

It will be interesting to see if Wilson goes to the front office and asks for a trade. He's too talented a WR to have only 37 catches this season.
