NY Jets - QB Situation

Mark Sanchez headed into NY and helped turn the Jets around in both his rookie and sophomore seasons, but after becoming the king of turnovers soon became the bud of everyone’s jokes.

Last season there was a lot of confusion with who would end up being the starting QB for the Jets... could Sanchez keep his starting title or would the rookie Geno Smith come in and take the name. Geno started the season with the Jets due to a shoulder injury for Sanchez… and the Jets seemed to be turning things around once again. They managed to turn around their 6-10 season from the year before… but still couldn’t make their way into playoffs for the third straight year.

Not long after announcing the news of releasing the master of turnovers, they announced the signing of Michael Vick. Vick’s contract is a one-year deal, and he’ll have the chance to battle for the starting position with Geno Smith.

Vicks got quite the experience compared to Smith… and Smith couldn’t have learned overly much from his partner last season other than what not to do; but he still managed to make a name for himself. He could end up on the list of lengthy QB’s that went downhill after their rookie season… but on the other side of things the signing of Vick could give him that extra push.


Personally I’d love to see Smith make it through training camp and end up the starter. He may have had a couple of rough games last season but what can you expect when you’re under someone like Sanchez that peaked and then hit the wall hard before falling apart?

I’m still waiting for Rex Ryan to end up on the chopping block. It takes more than a couple players to miss the playoffs three years in a row. I mean take a look at the lions… they went 0-16, made SEVERAL changes and now they’re quite the competitors in the NFC North and are giving teams a run for their money. Sure it took them another two pretty rough seasons before making the playoffs… but after rebuilding they’re now a strong team and quite the competitors.
