"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith said he has \"shown flashes of being a Pro Bowl-caliber quarterback\" during his first two seasons, &lt;em&gt;Newsday&lt;/em&gt;'s Mark Herrmann reports.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Smith, the team's second-round pick in 2013, started the first 24 games of his NFL career before he was benched in Week 8 after he threw three interceptions on consecutive possessions. Smith then replaced Michael Vick in Week 12 against the Buffalo Bills and has started New York's last two games.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 11 games this season, Smith has completed 57.8 percent of his passes for 1,778 yards, eight touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He said his goal is to become a more \"consistent\" quarterback moving forward.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;Goodell&amp;nbsp;on previous conduct policy: 'I blew it'&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Newsday&lt;/em&gt;:\r\n\r\n\"I've shown flashes of being a Pro Bowl-caliber quarterback, but what we're looking for here is consistency. The best teams have consistent quarterback play and I realize that and that's truly what I want to show to the fans and everyone outside the building,\" Smith said Tuesday in Manhattan, as he distributed coats at a New York Cares coat drive in conjunction with the Coalition for the Homeless.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York's passing offense has been anemic this season, whether Smith or Vick is playing quarterback. The Jets are last in the league in passing yards and are second-to-last in passing touchdowns.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 Report: Clowney&amp;nbsp;has microfracture surgery, out nine months&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week, Vick said he doesn't think the team \"benched\" him, but is instead evaluating its options at the position.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Jets are 2-11 and in last place in the AFC East. They play at the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Paul Palladino&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
