Jets coach Todd Bowles announced Tuesday that Geno Smith will be out for 6-10 weeks with a broken jaw after being "sucker punched" by IK Enemkpali, who has since been released.
The news of Smith's injury shocked the NFL community and prompted several comments. Here's a look at what some are saying on Twitter:

Belichick tells players from the jump, "if you fight in practice, when it's over just go straight to the locker room and hit the showers."

First the Cam Newton fight now Genotype Smith out because of a locker room fight, not sure where I missed the part of Qbs being leaders

Makes me wonder if those Qbs have gained respect in the locker room. No way you see a Peyton manning,Russel Wilson,Tom Brady fighting

So fighting QBs is what's hot in the league right now?!?! Quickest way out the door is to go at the franchise smh #CamNewton #GenoSmith

"You don’t walk up to another man and punch him in the face.”
Whoever it was I hope he's an exceptional player because if not he's getting his walking papers

The Jets might send buddy home on a greyhound. No flight No Train. Let him think about his actions on a long bus ride.

Probably not a good idea to knock out your starting QB and break his jaw...probably

When Clint Longley sucker-punched Staubach, I traded him for the No. 2 pick in 1977 draft. We took some guy named @Tony_Dorsett.
