No one could blame Jets quarterback Geno Smith for being upset after he was pulled during Sunday's loss against the Bills. After completing just 2 of 8 passes for 5 yards and three interceptions, coach Rex Ryan made the decision to bench Smith and go with backup quarterback Michael Vick.
Though, Smith still appeared to be exuding confidence in his abilities after Sunday's loss, even though his struggles haven't been confined to one game. The second-year quarterback has more career interceptions (31) than passing touchdowns (19).
"Obviously, I don’t want those things to happen," Smith said, per NJ.com. "It’s never an ideal situation for any quarterback. I never envisioned that happening (Vick replacing him) because I do see myself as the starting quarterback, and I honestly believe that I can turn things around myself to get this team going. But if those things do happen, I have to learn from it."
Ryan announced Monday that Vick will start Week 9 against the Chiefs. However, he would not name Vick the starter beyond the Chiefs game.
