The Facts:
Rex Ryan wasted no time saying that Smith was his starting quarterback after last week’s loss to Buffalo. On Sunday, the coach offered no such guarantees. “I’m not going to talk about any individual,” Ryan said after the Jets’ 19-3 loss to the Ravens in which Smith couldn’t even move the team a little bit and threw two more interceptions.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
“Starter, backup, whatever. I want to watch the tape.” Smith said he wasn’t worried about losing his starting job, but added, “I’m not going to sit here and say that my job is 100 percent secure because every single guy in this locker room has to prove themselves daily.” Asked if he thinks he’s still the quarterback to lead the Jets to the playoffs, Smith said, “I know I am.” Smith finished the day 9-for-22 for 127 yards and the two picks. That Matt Simms is the next man up is probably a factor in the equation. ... We'll suggest assuming Smith remains the starter until we hear otherwise.
