Jets quarter-back jaw broken by team-mate
Ryan Fitzpatrick, who played for Gailey in Buffalo, will be expected take over as the Jets’ starter in the meantime.
Enemkpali was immediately released by the Jets after the locker room punch happened.
“It had nothing to do with football”, coach Todd Bowlessaid. “You can call him every name in the book and point in his face and do whatever you want, but when you punch a man in the face, that’s some serious stuff”.
But what led to the altercation? Colon said it’s something the Jets can not have in their locker room. “It’s something very childish that sixth graders could have talked about and it had no reason to happen”.
“If you look at the best quarterbacks in this league, they’re great leaders, and they can say things to players to make them uncomfortable”, Carter said.
I suppose the only consolation in this whole process is that maybe, if Carter’s cluelessness persists, Smith will get angry enough to take a swing at him. “Going through that showed me what I could lose and what I should be grateful for and that’s football and how it’s changing me and my family’s life”.
As of now the Jets have not made a move for another quarterback. It was never my intention to harm anyone. In his two seasons he has more interceptions, 34, than touchdown passes, 25, and averaged less than 186 passing yards per game. He was suspended from the Louisiana Tech team in 2011 after being arrested for an off-campus incident in which he was booked with disturbing the peace and battery of a police officer.
The injury constitutes of two fractures to his jaw and will cause Smith to miss at least 6 to 10 weeks. The Jets QB seems to be in good spirits regardless of the incident saying, “I’ll be back“, recently on social media. Smith is coming into the biggest year of his career and this was the season that he was supposed to turn the corner.
