Sure, but just a couple of days ago you basically said that you wouldn't be worried if Fitzpatrick had to play in case that Smith isn't up to the task. Additionally, the current situation that Fitzpatrick will know that he practices as the man with the starter job is more beneficial for the team than the previous hypothetical scenario where Fitzpatrick has to jump in as the backup.

I still made the prediction with the expectation of geno being able to maintain his starting position throughout.  He is out possibly 10 weeks now, and if he comes back and they give him the spot he will be rusty and out of sinc, so then they will pull him after 3 or so games, and the offense won't be able to fully click until the end of the season, so I'm dropping the jets down a couple notches in my prediction.  However, they still very well could end up on top...

Dude, Geno Smith is terrible. Not having him as their starting QB should probably improve their positioning in the AFC East.
