Geno Smith fire rep after fall to Jets
Thursday, as we've chronicled numerous times, wasn't the best day of Geno Smith's life. He spent all night on camera, not getting drafted, and probably was more than a little flustered that he was on camera, not getting drafted. As such, he's decided to part ways with his agent. CBSSports.com's Bruce Feldman reports that Geno informed his agents "late last night" that he was moving on. It shouldn't be entirely shocking to see Smith change representation. The quarterback, presumably, was advised to attend the 2013 NFL Draft and accept the invitation from the NFL to sit in the green room during Round 1 of the draft on Thursday. No one thought he'd actually spend the entire night in the green room and not end up with a team; the worst-case scenario involved someone trading back into the first round to grab him. But when the Jets decided to pass on Smith at No. 13 and the Bills decided to take E.J. Manuel with the No. 16 pick, Smith's freefall began and he wasn't chosen until the Jets grabbed him in the second round at No. 39 overall. It's possible, as Feldman noted on Twitter Tuesday, that Smith wants to link up with Joel Segal, who also represents former West Virginia teammate (and highly-coveted wide receiver/No. 8 overall pick) Tavon Austin. Of course, maybe it's heightened expectations that doomed Smith: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/ey...ft-day-plummet |

It appears he's blaming his agents for his fall to the 2nd round and for him being in the green room. Nothing ever seems to be his fault.

And even if that was the reason, why shouldn't he do it? If the person that is managing your career has no idea where you're going to be picked, that's a pretty big problem don't you think?

Man, some of you guys come off as real desperate to prove a point. Fired his agent? ooooh red flag there, glad we didn't draft that guy. |

Why are NFL players put up on some magical pedestal? "You can't get upset, you should be better than that." It's madness! If most of the people saying that type of shit, lost the money he lost, they would be upset too.

Bray should fire his rep. And that is a bitch move by Geno, his rep had less to do with this than the talking heads.

Geno is going to be beast. Funny how people are deflecting now that he isn't a Chief.

I had a huge boner for drafting Geno, but his reaction on draft night absolutely gave me pause. I'm not saying we shouldn't have drafted him, but it really gave me pause.
With word that he will be starting as a rookie in NY, and it's just sad. All signs are pointing to him busting hard, and not his fault. The Jets wrote the book on how to **** up a young QB. |

He would have been exposed as being unable to play under center.

From the article -
There's a rationale for not keeping your representation after Thursday's nightmare. But if "not being the No. 1 overall pick" is the logic, then Smith has sorely overvalued himself. I wonder if Clay has actually been Geno Smith all along? |

Geno can't be a beast.
According to GoChiefs, a 2nd round QB has a 2% chance to be a franchise QB. |
