Now it's Smith versus Sanchez

Two weeks ago the Jets had six quarterbacks on the roster. With Tim Tebow released and David Garrard retiring, it's down to four, and only two of them, Geno Smith and Mark Sanchez, are realistic possibilities to start in Week 1.

Citing problems with his knee, Garrard says he has to hang it up. It wasn't totally far-fetched that he'd win the starting job in the preseason, but now that won't happen.

Geno or Sanchez? It's not hard to imagine who the fans will be pulling for, having presumably seen enough of Sanchez the past two years. The team will try to get him at a level of play where he can win the starting job in a hurry.

Either way, Chris Ivory, not either quarterback or any of the receivers, looks like the team's key fantasy option.
