The Facts:
Smith has outplayed Mark Sanchez through the first week of training camp, pulling even or perhaps ahead in the New York Jets' quarterback competition. "He can do more" than Sanchez, one veteran said Wednesday, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Smith has yet to throw an interception in team drills over the first five practices while Sanchez has two in the last two days. ... So even though it's premature to anoint a starter, the early development is noteworthy because people close to the team expected Sanchez, based on his experience, to look sharper than Smith at the outset. That hasn't been the case. Smith's athleticism could be a factor in the quarterback decision. Sanchez acknowledged that Smith is "very talented when it comes to that stuff. But I can't worry about it." But it's starting to sound like he should.
