Geno Smith was reacquired from the Las Vegas Raiders at the start of the offseason. Smith was originally a Jet from 2013 through 2016. His four year tenure was tumultuous.
Geno eventually found a home with the Seattle Seahawks before a rocky season in Vegas. This week as part of our SB Nation Reacts survey, we asked Jets fans whether they expect Geno 2. 0 to be better than the original.
The results suggest Jets fans are optimistic about the new/old quarterback. It would be an incredible story if Smith returned to New York and capped off his career with a successful run on the team that drafted him. When he was picked in 2013, the team hoped he could end what was then a two year Playoff drought.
That same stretch is now at 15. Maybe, just maybe that hope will be fulfilled. Bet on the game with FanDuel Sportsbook, SB Nation’s official sportsbook partner!
