The rumblings outside the team's facility have already begun with some fans and media calling for Geno Smith to sit and Michael Vick to take over. After just three games.
The New York Jets would be foolish to consider benching Geno Smith in favor of Michael Vick.
The sideline was a crowded place for the New York Jets during practice Wednesday.
Worse than anything, they'll prove themselves strong enough to stay with good teams, but just bad enough to fall short. So near, and yet so far. And that's the worst way to lose.
The New York Jets are going to have their hands full with a very talented Detroit Lions team. If Gang Green does not play their best game it will be a long day at MetLife Stadium.

"I have two words: Michael Vick. That's all I'm gonna say. It's time for him to start ... I've had enough of Geno (Smith) already."
A fan favorite, Chrebet played with Gang Green until 2005 and finished second in franchise history with 580 receptions.
I don't want to read more about how this was meant to be a rebuilding year, a developmental season for Geno Smith, yada, yada, yada. Been there. Too many times to count.
