With raw rookie and injured vet, Jets still unsure who QB will be when regular season begins

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Geno Smith appears not ready for prime time, and Mark Sanchez might not be ready for the opener.

Now what for the New York Jets? Well, they have less than two weeks to solve their big quarterback question before they face Tampa Bay on Sept. 8 in the regular-season opener.

Smith was given an opportunity to possibly seize the starting job last Saturday against the Giants, but came up with a dismal performance that included three interceptions and taking a safety when he stepped out of the back of the end zone.

Sanchez, who appeared in great shape to win the competition, is now recovering from a shoulder injury suffered in garbage time against the Giants — and could keep him out for the start of the season.
