Jets Name Geno Smith the Starting Quarterback

Joe Robbins/Getty Images(FLORHAM PARK, N.J.) — Despite the signing of Michael Vick in the offseason, the New York Jets have named Geno Smith the team’s starting quarterback.

“I think he’s taken off from where he left off [last season],” Jets head coach Rex Ryan said. “I expect great things in the future.”

Smith was the team’s starting quarterback last year, and played well at times as he navigated through his rookie season. Even though Vick has been a Pro Bowl quarterback, he will start the season on the sidelines.

“I think it’s great for Geno,” Vick said. “I knew the entire time that Geno was going to be the starter, but Geno went out and proved that he’s capable of running this team and putting this team in a position to win.”

In five quarters of play in the preseason, Smith threw only one interception. He also completed 70 percent of his passes with one touchdown.
