The Tiki Time Machine goes back to the Jets drafting Geno Smith in 2013, and the old WFAN reactions are stunning in hindsight. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash revisit takes from Boomer Esiason, Craig Carton, Joe Benigno, Mike Francesa and a much younger Evan, then decide Francesa came closest to identifying the pick for what it really was: a second-round gamble on a quarterback the Jets did not truly love. The archives also uncover a young Tommy Lugauer receiving an on-air assignment from Boomer and Carton before delivering a polished sports minute on J.R. Smith. The nostalgia leads back to a familiar Jets problem, as Geno Smith's draft-day slide is compared to Cade Klubnik and the impossible criticism teams face when deciding how long to wait on a quarterback.

Robert Saleh is reportedly promising that Tennessee will beat the Jets in Week 1, and Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash are ready to put his trash talk on the bulletin board. The challenge for Aaron Glenn is proving this Jets team can match its offensive talent with a defense featuring eight new starters and a head coach staking his reputation on his own play-calling. The quarterback debate remains impossible to escape. Geno Smith enters camp with questions, Cade Klubnik is already generating buzz, and the possibility of pursuing Baker Mayfield sparks a larger argument about whether the Jets should finally abandon their failed quarterback-development cycle. The Tiki Time Machine then revisits WFAN's reaction to the 2013 Geno Smith draft pick, revealing which hosts nailed the moment and how little the franchise's quarterback conversation has changed.
