The Facts: Everyone, it seems, already has an opinion about whether Vick or Geno Smith ought to be the Jets' starting QB this season. But what about HC Rex Ryan, the man who will ultimately make the decision? "I'm definitely convinced that we can win with Geno Smith," Ryan told WFAN Radio on Thursday. "I don't think there's any doubt." So, when the follow question suggested it wasn't going to be an open competition, Ryan said: "Oh, no. Mike Vick definitely has a chance to win the job. There's no doubt about that. Competition, I think, is outstanding for everybody involved in it."

Diehards Line: This is essentially the same thing Ryan said back in March at the NFL's annual meetings, when he told reporters that Smith would be tough to beat, but that Vick had a chance to start the season opener. ... Smith will be taking more reps at mini-camp -- but not many, according to OC Marty Mornhinweg. And Smith is also the team's starter -- for now, according to Vick. Others disagree. Whatever the case, this remains a situation that fantasy football owners will want to keep an eye on in coming weeks.
