Rich Cimini of ESPN New York believes that Mark Sanchez will start the season as the Jets starting quarterback.
According to what Cimini has seen and heard, rookie Geno Smith has yet to “blow anybody away” likeย Russell Wilsonย did last year and might be benched for the start of the regular season as to not expose him.
Sanchez hasn’t been impressive either through OTA’s and minicamp, but one would rather throw Sanchez, rather tham Smith into a pit of fire considering the new offensive system, limited weapons and difficult schedule.
It’s still early and things could change throughout preseason, but the way things are shaping up, it’ll be Sanchez who starts Week 1 against the Bucs.
