Michael Vick will compete with Geno Smith for the starting job in training camp. Geno Smith will win and then Vick can serve as a backup and football mentor. The Jets want Geno Smith to win this competition and as we learned last year, that goes a long way towards determining the winner. Vick does know Marty Morhinweg\u2019s offense very well and that will come in handy as he serves as the backup QB. He will see the field if Geno gets hurt, if Geno doesn\u2019t perform and in special packages (Wildcat anyone?)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>During Michael Vick&#8217;s first press conference his tone seemed to indicate that he expected to be a backup QB.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>First and foremost I came to compete and be a helping hand for Geno, and he has a long way to go.\u00a0 We both talked.\u00a0 We both agreed we\u2019re going to push one another and make each other better.\u00a0 So whatever happens, happens.\u00a0 And I know what I signed up for.\u00a0 At the end of the day I\u2019ll be content with it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let us know what you think about <a href=\"http:\/\/forums.jetnation.com\/topic\/115475-vick-says-geno-is-the-starter\/\">Geno Smith and Michal Vick<\/a> in our forums. \u00a0Or send us a tweet with your thoughts <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/JetNation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@JetNation<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NJ.com has a very interesting quote from Michael Vick. \u00a0They spoke to him at a\u00a0family fitness event. \u00a0Vick told NJ.com: Geno&#8217;s the starting quarterback for that football team.
