The Facts:
Listen to Rex Ryan, and you come away with the impression he'd rather crochet a sweater than start Mark Sanchez at quarterback. Ryan's tone has been, um, less than enthusiastic. But guess what? He might have little choice. Judging from what I've seen and heard, Smith hasn't blown anybody away, the way Russell Wilson did last season when he walked into the Seahawks' facility.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
ESPN.com's Rich Cimini went on to remind readers it's still early and things could change, but the way this is headed, Cimini believe it'll be Sanchez versus the Bucs in Week 1 -- unless Smith is lights-out in the preseason. Cimini further notes that of the past 11 quarterbacks drafted in the second round, only one started Week 1 as a rookie -- the Bengals' Andy Dalton in 2011. Cimini summed up: "Smith throws a pretty ball, but it'll take more than that to win over the coaches and his teammates. Like it or not, it'll be Sanchez to start. How long he lasts, well, that's a different story."
