Geno Smith fires his agent

[Riddler]

Four days after Geno Smith slid out of the first round of the draft, the former West Virginia quarterback fired his agents due to his displeasure over his draft position, according to sources.
The Daily News has learned that Smith thought that he would and should be the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. Sources told the News that Smith’s agents from Select Sports Group gave him no assurance of his draft position.
The Jets drafted Smith, who was atop Gang Green’s quarterback rankings, with the eighth pick in the second round (39th overall), which didn’t sit well with him. Smith can’t hire another agent for five days.
Despite Smith’s draft position, new general manager John Idzik made it clear that he still believes the rookie will be under the microscope.
“If you’re a first-round quarterback—first-round any position – the spotlight is a little bit brighter,” Idzik said on ESPN radio’s Mike & Mike show on Tuesday morning. “Him coming in as a second rounder, perhaps it’s a little dim, but being that he’s in the New York market, he’s at a high profile position, I think he’s going to be center stage regardless.”

This guy will be an utter failure. A petulant move like this only reinforces what most thought before the draft, that he's a mental midget

[Lincoln]

Just the next stereotypical black qb

Another Ryan Leaf.

Another Ryan Leaf.

Except not at all because he isn't an elite prospect coming out of college and a top 2 pick.

[Avante]

Second QB taken, right?

...in a pool of absolute shit QB's.

Didn't everyone think Ryan Leaf, JaMarcus Russell, Heath Schuler, Rick Meier were all going to be franchise QB's? Yep, wrong, yet you know who were shit QB's? How you doing that?

Makes all the sense in the world ya fucking moron. You don't have a fucking clue who is a great/shit QB until they start playing in the NFL. You honestly couldn't figure that out asshole?

New York Jets (http://www.kffl.com/team/27/nfl/new-york-jets) QB Geno Smith (http://www.kffl.com/player/27524/nfl/geno-smith) reportedly fell in the NFL Draft (http://www.kffl.com/link/159) because teams are concerned he does not listen to coaches and does not take constructive criticism well. "His biggest problem is that he doesn't know what he doesn't know," said a league executive, who spent extensive time assessing Smith before the draft. "I'm not sure he knows how to take instruction because he pretty much wouldn't listen or talk to our coaches … he's talented. He can sling it, he can fit it into tight spots, he can do a lot of things and I think he wants to be good. But you can't tell him anything right now. He's tuned out because he thinks he's got it all down." Two sources also indicated that when Smith went on some visits to teams, rather than interact with coaches and front-office people, he would spend much of his time on his cell phone, texting friends or reading Twitter. "All these other players who were in there were talking to the coaches, trying to get to know people and he was over there by himself," one of the sources said. "That's not what you want out of your quarterback."

After falling out of the first round, the former West Virginia star threatened to leave the draft and go home. ...
"He's going to have a tough time in New York," an NFC scout said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "Right now, he's coming off as a spoiled, pampered brat."
