CBS analyst and former Raider Rich Gannon paints an ugly picture of the Jets' quarterback situation with The Post's Justin Terranova as he prepares to call Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Q: How concerned are you with Geno Smith's recent regression?
A: The turnovers are alarming and you just haven't seen the growth and the promise that you thought you'd see from him. Usually you don't see guys repeating the same mistakes at that position but with him it's poor decisions, trying to fit in throws where he shouldn't, footwork-related issues. You just don't see the understanding that he's got a pretty solid defense, you can run the football and you have to be smart. He has to understand what he has on offense.
Q: Does that lack of talent make it difficult to judge what kind of quarterback he will be?
A: He's got some good coaches around him, Marty Mornhinweg is a really sharp guy, I am sure he's talked to him: "This is what this guy does well, this is what this guy can't do." What he has to learn, don't let someone else's mistake become your mistake. You have to factor that into your computer and make sure you don't get fooled.
Q: Is it time to bench him?
A: I think they would if they had a better option. You can't continue down this road with a rookie who's putting your team in jeopardy of not making the playoffs, especially with a coach who may need to make the playoffs to be around the following year. No coach in their right mind would do that unless they didn't have a better option.
Q: Mark Sanchez said this week that he thinks he'll return to the Jets next year. What does his future hold?
A: I think he has to go to the back of the line and the Jets probably will release him. I don't think anyone is going to sign him as a starter. You develop a reputation, whether it's warranted or not. He has to repair that. You do that by going somewhere, starting over and working hard. Based on what happened in New York wasn't pretty, I don't know how you sell him as a starter to your fan base if you are Cleveland or whatever franchise.
Q: Which of the AFC teams has the best chance to break out from the bunch?
A: The Steelers have a quarterback that's won two Super Bowl, one of the best defensive coordinators (Dick Lebeau), the offensive line has settled down a little bit, Antonio Brown's really come along since he got benched against the Patriots.
