The quarterback competition is winding down; for better or for worse.\u00a0 Geno Smith missed the last game with an ankle injury and Mark Sanchez missed his chance to end the competition when he threw a red zone interception against the Jaguars.\u00a0 Sanchez had a golden opportunity to win the quarterback job with Smith and McElroy out, Mark played 3 quarters.\u00a0 Although he didn’t lose the job, he didn’t put an end to the competition either.<\/p>\n
Mark talked about that interception and said, “To put it either a little more in front of Kellen (Winslow) or wait for the next guy. So, we\u2019ll eliminate that mistake and move forward. I was proud that we moved the ball down the field really well. I thought we ran the ball really well all night and gave ourselves chances in the red zone.”<\/p>\n
He also gave his thoughts on his performance so far this year, “I think I put together a good camp and I\u2019m only improving. So (I will) just keep putting my best foot forward. Keep playing my best football and leave it up to the coaches.”<\/p>\n
Geno Smith was asked if he is behind in the QB competition, “I can\u2019t tell you that. I\u2019m just focusing on myself. Like I said, I try and improve daily and the coaches do the evaluation.”\u00a0 Does need a home run on Saturday to win the starting job?<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know. That\u2019s for the coaches to evaluate and they\u2019ve done that throughout training camp, OTA\u2019s, minicamp and it\u2019s still an ongoing process. Like I said, I don\u2019t think one game completely defines who I am but it is important to go out there and get a good showing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Geno says that he is healthy, so it will come down to practice this week and the 3rd preseason game this weekend against the Giants. The starters don’t typically play in the final preseason game, so the Jets don’t will have to choose a starter soon.<\/p>\n
Several accounts said it was a rough practice for Geno today and he threw multiple interceptions.<\/p>\n
