By Phil Sullivan Posted On February 25, 2014

Geno Smith finished his rookie season with a QB rating of 66.5. He started all 16 games and threw 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions. When you have those kind of numbers, you can usually expect to have to fight for a starting position the next season. Geno showed a lot of improvement in the last few games of the year, so there are reasons to be optimistic.
