Geno Smith Tells Heckling Jets Fan, "F*** You" [VIDEO]

Geno Smith was mostly abysmal in the Jets’ 24-17 loss to the Lions Sunday, and the fans screamed for backup Mike Vick to enter the game because the starter was so inept. Smith had two crucial second half turnovers as the Jets fell to 1-3.

As Smith was leaving the field, a fan was taunting him, and Smith yelled back, “Fuck You.” Naturally, cameras caught the F-bomb, and it’ll be a storyline this week ahead of a trip to the San Diego Chargers (who will be 3-1 if they defeat the Jaguars). There’s absolutely on chance the Jets make the playoffs if they fall to 1-4 – remember, they host Peyton Manning the following week, and then travel to Tom Brady and the Patriots. Yes, 1-6 is well within reach.

Smith leads the NFL (at the timing of this post) with interceptions (5) and he has lost two fumbles. Considering the Jets defense isn’t generating turnovers (just two on the season), you’re not going to win many games when you lose the turnover battle.

I don’t really care about the F-bomb. It’s irrelevant. What is relevant are his incessant turnovers. The Jets have been close in all three of their losses, and if Smith doesn’t turn the ball over, there’s no telling if the Jets are 2-2 or 3-1 or heck, even 4-0.

Yes, the secondary is a major issue, but that’s because they didn’t address the situation in the offseason. They remain about $20 million under the cap.

It sounds like Rex Ryan is fully behind Smith despite his struggles, which is curious, because Smith could end up costing Ryan his job.
