What they're saying

"
Frank Reich had to think for a second while raving — again — about Geno Smith, pondering the New York Jets quarterback's age. Not bad for a quarterback entering his 14th NFL season, a journey that began as a second-round draft pick of the Jets in 2013 and has included several ups and downs on the field along the way. “Like his arm, the way he moves, his feet in the pocket, he’s physically in his prime,” said Reich, in his first season running the Jets' offense.
