And the winner is ... nobody!
That could be the result of the Jets' quarterback derby, Rex Ryan told the Star-Ledger. Ryan offered that he might not declare a winner. It could actually be a moot point if Mark Sanchez (shoulder) is out for extended time, the possibility of which seems to be growing.
Geno Smith had a chance to wrest the job away from Sanchez, but tossed three interceptions and committed other rookie mistakes in the third preseason game. He will most certainly start the regular season opener if Sanchez is not ready to return, despite the surprisingly strong performance by third-stringer Matt Simms on Thursday night.
