New York Jets QB Geno Smith said he believes he has made good progress in his development since he joined the team. ‘I’ve already made a giant leap,’ Smith said. ‘Coming from a spread system where the biggest transition for me is going to be the footwork. It’s not as if I can’t do it, it’s the fact that I haven’t done it enough. The good amount of reps that I got in rookie camp, minicamp, OTAs has helped me make that leap and transition, and make giant strides.’
Our View: Smith is competing with veteran Mark Sanchez for the starting job. Both have been struggling this offseason but Sanchez may have a leg up in the competition because of his experience. Even if Smith doesn’t win the job in training camp we wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the starting lineup at some point during the regular season.
