Geno Smith isn’t backing up Craig Carton.

The Giants quarterback took a dig Tuesday at the arrested shock jock, who’s been critical of Smith in the past.

“Same guy who was calling me a thug on some lame radio station was running a Ponzi scheme?? Funny how life works, can’t believe these fools!” he tweeted.

Minutes later he added: “Throwing rocks and try to hide their hands … The universe has an amazing sense of humor!”

It’s unclear what specific comments Smith is referring to or when they were made.

Al Dukes, a producer on the “Boomer & Carton” show, fired back on Twitter.

“Pretty sure he just called you a terrible quarterback,” Dukes wrote. “Not a thug.”

Smith has dealt with his share of turnovers but was named Eli Manning’s backup quarterback heading into the season, with the Giants cutting Josh Johnson.
