Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg acknowledges that the quarterback competition between Geno Smith and Michael Vick isn't quite "50-50."
During a conference call with season ticket holders Thursday, Mornhinweg insisted — as coach Rex Ryan has all offseason — that the quarterbacks will compete for the job. But he added that the competition between Smith and Vick won't be exactly like last summer, when "everything was 50-50" between Smith and Mark Sanchez.
Mornhinweg recently said the team's goal is to make sure Smith progresses, indicating that Smith had a slight edge over Vick entering the competition.
