Jets' Geno Smith Ranked 15th-Best NFL QB Heading Into Week 10

Nick Shook of NFL.com ranked New York Jets QB Geno Smith the 15th-best QB in the NFL heading into Week 10. 

Smith is one spot ahead of Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward and one spot behind Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins. 

In his second stint with the Jets, Smith has 2,078 passing yards, 12 passing touchdowns and three interceptions. He's completing 67.5% of his passes. 

The Jets are 2-6. They beat the Titans in Game 1, lost to the Green Bay Packers in Game 2, the Detroit Lions in Game 3 and the Chicago Bears in Game 4, beat the Cleveland Browns in Game 5 and lost to the New England Patriots in Game 6, the Miami Dolphins in Game 7, the Las Vegas Raiders in Game 8 and the Kansas City Chiefs in Game 9. 

New York acquired Smith from Las Vegas in the offseason. Smith did not play well with the Raiders last season. He threw 17 interceptions in 15 games, which led the NFL. 

Smith hasn't done anything this season to put his job at risk with the Jets, but since Gang Green will miss the playoffs, head coach Aaron Glenn might as well start rookie Cade Klubnik soon to see what the youngster has to offer. 

Klubnik went 21/34 through the air for 190 passing yards in the preseason. He had no touchdown passes and threw one interception. 

Entering the 2025 college football season, Klubnik was projected to be one of the top picks in the 2026 draft, but after he and Clemson struggled, Klubnik's draft stock took a hit.

The Jets selected Klubnik with the 110th overall pick in the 2026 draft. Even though his draft fall was significant, Klubnik still has a lot of confidence in his game. 

Klubnik finished the 2025 college football season with 2,943 passing yards and 16 passing touchdowns. He threw for 10,123 passing yards and 73 touchdowns in his Clemson career. 

Smith's best NFL seasons came with the Seattle Seahawks in 2022 and 2023. He made the Pro Bowl in 2022 and 2023 and won the 2022 AP Comeback Player of the Year award.

Multiple teams tried to trade for Smith at this year's trade deadline, but the Jets kept the gunslinger.

Smith entered this season with 22,168 passing yards, 124 passing touchdowns and 89 career interceptions in the NFL. His current starting record is 44-63-0

Up next for the Jets is a matchup against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. New York will probably get blown out in that game.
