People think that the Jets are a poorly run team, but they need to remember that their previous GM, Mike Tannebaum, was as bad at his job as Peeholi was and possibly even worse.
Tannebaum being fired will have the same positive impact on the Jets franchise as the firing of Pioli will for the Chiefs. His drafts were horrible, his free agent signings were tragic and he was a total buffoon in his daily running of the Jets franchise.
Their new GM Idzik just absolutely nailed this draft with six potential Day 1 starters.
I think that the Chiefs and Jets are sitting at the same position currently and it's a pretty even playing field for both Geno and Alex. I think Geno has substantially better tools in terms of being a true franchise QB and it will be interesting to see how both fare over the next five seasons where Alex Smith will be heading into his mid-30's and Geno will just be entering his prime.
I think that Alex Smith will win more initially, but Geno should start surpassing him by year three or four. It's going to be close, but in the end, I'd say Geno if Idzik continues to build the Jets through the draft as he did this year versus Reid/Dorsey building the Chiefs via free agency as they did this year.
