The Facts:
Despite four turnovers and a season-low 10.1 passer rating, Smith will remain the New York Jets' starting quarterback next Sunday against the Ravens, according to Rex Ryan. Ryan delivered a lukewarm endorsement after the Jets' 37-14 loss Sunday to the Bills. "We'll look at everything as we go, but again, but I don't think it's fair to place it on one man," Ryan said. "We have to take a hard look at what we're doing, but I would say Geno is our starting quarterback against Baltimore next week."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Ryan's patience has to be wearing thin. Smith was intercepted three times, the last of which was returned for a touchdown by safety Da'Norris Searcy. Smith also lost a fumble deep in his own territory. His four turnovers led to 17 points by the Bills, who harassed the rookie throughout the day with their pressure schemes. Smith completed only 8 of 23 passes for 103 yards. He was sacked four times. The negative numbers are growing larger and uglier. Smith has 20 turnovers, including 16 interceptions. Smith was benched early in the fourth quarter in Buffalo, replaced by Matt Simms. It was the second straight loss in which Smith finished the game on the bench. Simms completed 4 of 6 passes for 60 yards, including a 13-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Cumberland.
