The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... The Jets can bill it as a five-way QB competition now, but it's impossible to have a five-man battle in training camp. It seems like new GM John Idzik will follow the Seahawks' model from last preseason. The breakdown of the actual game reps shows it was basically a two-man race: Russell Wilson 138 snaps, Matt Flynn 99, Josh Portis 31 and Tarvaris Jackson eight, according to ESPN Stats & Information. The Seahawks didn't have to learn a new system on the fly, a huge benefit.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini, in the Jets' version, rookie Geno Smith will play the role of Wilson; he'll get every chance to show he can play. Mark Sanchez bears similarities to both Flynn (big contracts) and Jackson (incumbents on thin ice). He has to get a decent number of reps because he could be the starter or he could be trade bait. David Garrard is the wild card. He could be the fallback option if Smith isn't ready and Sanchez is shipped out, meaning he, too, will need quality reps. As for Greg McElroy and Matt Simms, Cimini advised readers that one of them figures to be left behind when the team leaves for training camp in late July.
