PositiveProjectionOct 27, 2026
Smith received a B+ grade; the Jets are a better team than last year, and a big reason is finally having certainty at quarterback. Things didn't go well in his first stint in New York, but it's been much better this time around. He's a much better quarterback in Round 2, though he's on the tail end of his career and the Jets still lack talent overall.NegativeProjectionOct 15, 2026
Geno Smith has bounced back nicely from last year's disaster, but he remains limited as a player and is just trying to pilot the Jets to land without crashing in January. So far, the Jets look capable of getting to 6–8 wins, which would be far from crashing based on expectations.NegativeProjectionOct 4, 2026
Smith was heavily contained by the Bears defense, finishing 8 of 15 for 119 yards, 1 touchdown, and 3 sacks; he had barely been allowed to throw the ball in the first half (5 passing yards at halftime), and the Jets offense was severely limited, gaining only 157 total yards to Chicago's 492.NegativeUsageOct 3, 2026
Geno Smith is expected to heavily target Garret Wilson in this matchup, with one the source predicting he will 'spam the Garret Wilson button.' However, the Jets' depleted rushing attack and missing key offensive pieces will force Smith into difficult down-and-distance situations, leading to interceptions.PositiveProjectionOct 2, 2026
Geno Smith is a significant upgrade over the 2025 Jets QB options (Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, Brady Cook); he has a strong and accurate arm and produces competent play when protected and given good weapons. In 2026, he is playing behind a much-improved Jets offensive line compared to his 2025 Raiders situation and has better weapons in Garrett Wilson, Kenyon Sadiq, and Adonai Mitchell, resulting in better play than last year.NegativeMatchupOct 2, 2026
Geno Smith is completing 84.6% of his passes against the blitz this season, which is a key defensive concern for the Bears. The source advises the Bears to show blitz to confuse pass protection but drop off and cover rather than commit fully to the blitz, as Smith's efficiency against pressure is a notable strength.NegativeMatchupOct 2, 2026
Geno Smith, the 36-year-old Jets quarterback, has been performing at an elite level through three games with 783 passing yards, 4 touchdowns, 0 interceptions, and a league-leading 75.5 completion percentage; this strong performance provides context for the Jets' improved competitiveness despite their 1-2 record and makes them a tougher opponent than initially expected for the Bears.PositiveProjectionOct 1, 2026
Geno Smith has recaptured the strong play he showed in Seattle a few years ago and has more weapons to work with than he did last year in Las Vegas; he's posting 75.5% completion percentage, 783 yards, 4 TDs, and 0 INTs through three weeks, ranking the Jets' passing offense 11th overall.NegativeMatchupSep 30, 2026
Geno Smith leads the NFL in completion percentage entering Week 4 matchup against the Bears defense, which has ranked seventh in scoring defense through three weeks (17.7 points per game allowed) after a strong turnaround from a rough Week 1 performance.NegativeMatchupSep 29, 2026
In the Lions' Week 3 win over the Jets, Geno Smith took a sack and fumbled the ball despite being in prime scoring territory late in the fourth quarter, a critical mistake that allowed Detroit to escape with a 31-point victory.NegativeProjectionSep 12, 2026
The source expresses skepticism about Geno Smith's ability to perform, stating 'it's the Jets, and it's Geno Smith who didn't look like he could play anymore.' The source ranks the New York Jets 30th and characterizes them as 'the first team that I think is trying to March to Arch,' suggesting the team is tanking.NegativeProjectionSep 11, 2026
Ranked #32 overall; great story due to late blooming and solid Seattle seasons but that unraveled in Las Vegas last year; has chance to bounce back and show last season was blip or confirm he's cooked.NegativeRoleJul 27, 2026
Smith appears to be near the end of his career with the Jets. His uncertain future at QB1 makes the Jets a potential trade destination for Bagent, as they may want to bring in a veteran with upside like Bagent to evaluate if Smith proves to be done.
