Jets coach Rex Ryan made it official on Monday, announcing that Michael Vick will be the starting quarterback over Geno Smith for Week 9 against Kansas City. Ryan told reporters that the move was his decision and that Vick's hold on the starting job isn't guaranteed beyond this week, per the New York Daily News.
Vick took over for Smith after the second-year quarterback three three interceptions against the Bills. Ryan hopes that Smith will "maybe get a different perspective" by watching Vick play from sideline. Vick lost two of four fumbles and completed 18 of 36 pass attempts for 153 yards with one interception in Week 8 against Buffalo.
