Geno Smith Gets Misquoted by Ian Rapoport

Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY Sports

A few weeks ago, we covered a story in which Geno Smith was apparently boldly proclaiming the New York Jets could get to the Super Bowl. That story is apparently false.

Here is the original quote:

So, someone from NFL Network gave him something to say and then a reporter for NFL Network misquoted him for saying it. Take this for what you will. Some will undoubtedly turn this into, "What, does Smith not actually believe we can make it to the Super Bowl? What a jerk!" The truth is, it really doesn't make a difference. Multiple teammates have said he's taken a firm leadership grasp on the offense. That's all that matters at this point.
