There's enough skill talent here and especially offensive line for Gino to have a bounce back year...Gino Smith last year was throwing the ball directly to linebackers without checking coverages.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Gino's soft early schedule helps, but 2025 regression and Frank Reich concern.

JJ Zachariason likes Gino Smith's early schedule: Titans in Week 1, Packers (without Micah Parsons) in Week 2, and Lions in Week 3. However, Zachariason expresses concern about Gino's 2025 regression—he was throwing directly to linebackers without checking coverages, a departure from his previous risk-taking style. Zachariason hopes this was a Chip Kelly scheme issue. The Jets have strong skill talent (top young tackle duo, three-deep at WR, two-deep at TE, Breeze Hall, Braylon Allen), but Frank Reich's presence and Gino's recent play create uncertainty.
