My analysis on Geno Smith over the last year has been brutal. It's been tough. But as they say, the numbers never lie.

After his rookie season, Smith was part of a rare group that didn't pan out in the NFL. His -68.55 Passing NEP placed him in the bottom quarter percentile among rookie quarterbacks since 2000 - a subset that featured players like Blaine Gabbert and Jimmy Clausen. Within the group, only Kyle Orton has produced a respectable career.

Things are more or less continuing for Smith in 2014. Entering Sunday's game against the Bills, Smith had a -10.73 Passing NEP on the year - a score better than last year's pace, but still one of the worst among starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Smith's Passing NEP dropped another 11.59 points on Sunday - only Blake Bortles had a worse performance in Week 8 at the quarterback position.

The problem in New York is that Michael Vick isn't any better of an answer. Entering the week, Vick had a worse Passing NEP score, and was roughly just as bad as Smith against Buffalo.

I'm sorry, Jets fans. It's going to be a long season.
