Following another disappointing loss Sunday against the Broncos, Jets coach Rex Ryan said quarterback Geno Smith would start again Thursday against the Patriots. On Monday, Ryan had to once again quiet the talk about Michael Vick taking over as the starting quarterback.
"Obviously, you can look at Mike to add different things," Ryan said, per NJ.com. "But I think Geno's the best way to go right now. That's why I'm comfortable saying he'll be our starter."
The Jets are 1-5 to begin the season and are dead last in passing offense, averaging 182.2 passing yards per game. Smith has thrown more interceptions (seven) than touchdowns (six) through six games.
