He gained less than 20 yards rushing per game? One touchdown all year? I’m not sure the Jets were waiting around for him. I think they’ll have no problem replacing his production.

And the Bills gave him $16 million?

Thats because Rex Ryan is just like his father, he doesn’t know how to use his Offensive weapons. (ex. Greene, Tomlinson, Sanchez, Smith) The Ryan family is all about Defense.

Chan Gailey on the other hand is an Offensive Mastermind. He has gotten a lot out of a little. (ex. Thigpen, Stewart, Fitzpatrick, Stevie Johnson)

Go Bills!!!!

It’s the sort of mistake that you see bad teams make over and over: Take a bit player who succeeded on a good team surrounded by good players and good coaches and then HOPE that it’ll work out when you take him out of that environment and put him on your inferior team.

Larry Brown? Az Hakim? Trung Canidate?

This web site is obsessed with the Jets and will do anything to find a Jets angle–no matter how stale or attenuated–because the Jets are the only team that gets page views here.

I am glad to see him leave for a different team. Obviously, No One commenting here saw him play QB at the U. of Missouri in College. Record setting QB that brought MU back to prominence. I wouldn’t sleep on him. I hope he schools the Jets twice a year Every year. Good Luck Brad.

That remains to be seen.

Guys it’s over four years….it’s not a lot of money. Underated, valuable guy. Would have loved to have seen this guy in Miami.

The Jets chased the prettiest girl at the ball and were rejected. They misplayed the Smith move thinking he’d return. Too many loses for them this year and they will slide. Can’t wait to see pretty boy Sanchez struggle….

Then that is not the Wild Cat – That is just a running QB – And thats not a fad or a gimmick.

Held out of 11 on 11 drills, and nobody’s rooting for him to get hurt. That’s a Philly thing.

“Smith is now a quarterback in Buffalo, where he could become a Kordell Stewart-style weapon”

Sure, why not? He threw 7 passes in 5 years for the Jets. Sounds dangerous to me.

It is dangerous, here’s why… Chan Gailey is the person who made Kordell Stewart a threat during the years he was used properly. Gailey is now the mastermind behind the playbook Smith will follow. Expect results.
Go Bills!!!!

He also fell in love with the young, vibrant ownership and dynamic head coach.

Or maybe he signed there because no one else on planet earth was going to give him more than a 1 year, $1 million dollar deal to touch the ball between 4 and 14 times per game.

Kordell Stewart had “good” years? How did we all miss them?

“And here, this might be a Super Bowl team too.”

Key words: Jets, Super Bowl, MIGHT (vs. IS)

Is that really the angle you’re going with? Another fine example of ‘troll’ journalism.

I think Brad Smith was a nice option when Sanchez was a rookie and 2nd year QB but, for the Jets to develop, Sanchez needs to be the QB and not be taken out of rythm…

Good fit now with Buffalo as they develop a QB….

Also, If Brad Smith was never going to throw the ball then, the “Wildcat” was greatly overrated and was being sniffed out all too often…

If I’m Buffalo I let Brad Smith Throw the ball over 50% of the time over the top….

For the Jets, they have kick returners, the Kickoffs are further back and they drafted a WR in Kerley who can be the All-Around gimmick guy…..

Fact is, as great a Guy Brad Smith is, He’s not a player who you hold your team up over and over spend with… He’s a nice little part of your team on the cheap and IMO, the Jets weren’t really looking to keep him unless he wound up wanting to return cheap after the FA storm….

Best Wishes to Brad and THROW THE BALL!!!!
