NY Jets RB Chris Johnson: We needed Michael Vicksooner The veteran has posted QB ratings over 100 in his two games as a starter while Geno Smith posted a rating of 65.6 in his eight games. BY Seth Walder
Michael Vick believes the 2 8 Jets would have more wins had he been the starting quarterback from the beginning. He isn t the only one who feels that way.
Yeah, I think so. I think if he was stpatagonia women's better sweater vest on saleartpatagonia black hole 90 review0ing from day one it would be totally different, Chris Johnson told the Daily News. He came in and his ropatagonia black hole 90 reviewle was to help Geno (Smith) develop and try to help him the best he can, but at the end ofpatagonia store quebec the day it turned out how it turned out and (we ve) just got to live with it.
Considering the improvement in quarterback play since Vick took over the veteran has posted QB ratings over 100 in his two games as a starter while Smith posted a rating of 65.6 in hpatagonia black hole 90 review3is eight games Rex Ryan will surely be second guessed for the rest of the yeapatagonia backcountry guide pants fitr over whether he should have brought the lefty out of the bullpen sooner.
After leading the Jets to their second victory of the season on Sunday, Vick said in my heart, yes, that he thought the team would have had more wins had he been the starter at the beginning of the year. On Tuesday, he reiterated that but clarified that he felt that it was the nature of a competitor to have that sort of belief in himself.
Yeah, I am going to say my team is going to be amongst the top, Vick said. If I was sitting there and told you anything differently, they would look at me differently around here. So why would I tell you I don t think the team would be in a better position? How would that make me look? That doesn t make me look too good.
The Jets began the season wpatagonia outlet store elith a faux competition at quarterback barring dramatically poor play from Smith, the secondpatagonia outlet store 19 year QB was always going to be the starter and then by the time Vick started a game the Jets were 1 7 and the season was already a lost cause. Smith failed to develop in his second season, throwing 10 interceptions and losing three fumbles in eight games.
Thoupatagonia discount code enterprisegh Johnson thought the Jets would have more than two wins if Vick had been the QB all season, he said he tried not to dwell on the subject because there was nothing that could change what happened.
You can t go back in the past, he said. Just gotta push on and go with it.
With Vick at quarterback, the offense has gone from bad to good enough. The key change has been turnovers: the patagonia black hole 90 review1Jets have none in the two games with Vick under center. The QB hasn t been miraculous but he s played well enough, leading the offense to 20 points against the Steelers laspatagonia everlong review your professort week in a winning effort.

He has a real look about hipatagonia gloves reviewm, in his eyes, quarterbackspatagonia guide jacket clip coach David Lee said. There s a fighter look and a let s go get in a fightpatagonia black hole 90 review2 type look.
He is 34, but he has a really young body, Lee added.
Johnson concurred that Vick s age didn t appear to be slowing him down much.
He s going out there, he s still doing the same thing, the running back said. Can still run the ball, can still make the throws.
Despite talking up Vick, Lee refused to reevaluate the decision to hold off playing the veteran, much like Ryan has in recent days. I would not look back and do anything differently, Lee said. I am not going to second guess anything we have done. I think we have done the right things. There s no looking back here.
