Geno Smith Skipping Jets West

The media and some fans are making a big deal out of Jets QB Geno Smith missing his fellow Jets QB Mark Sanchez' Jets West practice sessions that Sanchez has hosted the last two years.  I say what would be the point to Geno Smith attending Mark's camp in Mark's hometown when he is competing with him.  It is not like the camp has helped Sanchez improve his play.  One could argue his play has worsened since he is hosting these training sessions the last two offseasons with this being the third.

Geno Smith is competing with Sanchez.  I think this is the official draw the line in the sand beginning of qb competition.  Geno doesn't have to hold the coddled qb's jock strap and kow-tow to him.  He is working out on his own in Florida, holding camps for kids in his hometown.  I kind of like the moxy it shows that Geno Smith has.  I am sure Rex likes it as well.  

If Sanchez is the Jets QB this year they stink.  If Geno plays at least equal to Sanchez in training camp the Jets should give him the keys and see what happens.  Sanchez was given those keys without earning it his rookie year and was awful despite some solid playoff outings.  

Media and fans, get off Geno's back on this one.  Maybe they can start criticizing the Patriots or the dozens of players getting arrested.  Give the kid a shot without all the negativity to start with.
