Former #Jets QB Geno Smith has passed his physical and is signing with the #Giants, source said. It's a 1-year deal worth $2M total.
Why the going rate for backup QB's isn't the minimum. Chase Daniel made 7 million annually in his last contract. Matt Moore makes close to 6 million annually.
The Chase Daniel one is a bad one, but I'd take Moore over Geno.
He sucks.
How bad is Smith that NONE OF THE QB Needed teams even contacted him.
Nobody went after Matt Moore last year and he returned to the Phins. He played very well for them when Tannehill went down.
Matt Moore was an 8 year Vet BU QB last year. He's the kind of guy the Giants should have went for. Not a project who thinks he should be starting that you need to teach how to be a pro.
He has the talent of a starter. I think he is a good kid too. Made a few mistakes and the "fake news" capital of the world ruined his reputation. Remember, it was those same "fake news" geniuses who told us Eli could not play, and Coughlin should have been fired in 2005. Literally, they know nothing. Nothing. The good part is anyone with a brain in their head now assumes everything they say is a lie until proven truthful. Great job by Jerry Reese.

Yeah. Matt Moore over redoing JPP. GENIUS. This place is amazing
Starting Experience....CHECK
Mobile Scout Team QB...CHECK
Cheap Backup QB........CHECK
What exactly do people not like about this signing?
I'm with you. I love this signing. Josh Johnson was our backup last year. Hasn't thrown a pass in about 5 years. Didn't hear much complaining (me included). But I love this signing. If it doesn't work out he's gone. But I'm hoping it does.
I bet he's better than Josh Johnson and Ryan Nassib.
I'm pretty sure the list of people who meet that requirement is long, but I wouldn't pay most of them anywhere near $2M/yr. Let's hope it's heavily incentive based.
Psst...That isn't a lot of money in today's NFL. It's not 1992.
In his post signing interview he kept saying again and again that playing (er...sitting) for the Giants for a year would give him a chance to learn at get healthy.
board. Seriously, people here supporting him are saying his team sucked, his coaches sucked, his supporting cast sucked, etc. This also doesn't mean he is any good. I would have preferred a backup who at least has had success somewhere, Geno hasn't. Also, regardless of your reasons for why, he did suck with the Jets. It is pure speculation to say he is an NFL QB. At best, and I mean if he exceeds all hope, he could be Charlie Batch.

I hope he's right.
Well it's not like the jets would know what to do as far as trying to work with QBs.

I guess you are forgetting about Anthony Wright.
Forget Anthony Wright ... or Andre Woodson.
Josh Johnson is currently on the roster right now.

If a backup's record as a starter was good, he'd be starting.
Excuse me while I don't wring my hands over this...

People want a name they would feel confident it, as if Eli going down doesn't end the season.

I agree, I think he's better than the previous backups we had
I hope he's right.
I knew some moron would make a comment like that. He is either an American or he isn't!
