Tim Tebow may be gone, but that doesn't mean the Jets' quarterback situation is settled. General manager John Idzik said that there's going to be an open competition for the QB spot, including everyone from struggling incumbent Mark Sanchez to backup Matt Simms. Whether the quarterback who starts the season will be the same person who finishes it is another question, but the Jets are keeping what options they have open on all fronts.

• PCassidy2010: "'All 5 QB's will compete for the starting job,' said no team headed in the right direction, ever."
• JDan15: "If you have 5 QB's I would argue that you don't have one QB."
• JohnMosbyGuy: "The sad reality is that Greg McElroy is the best QB in NY right now. "
• ScubaSteve884: "If Geno starts right away, the Jets don't know what they're doing...Oh, wait."
• wvu1980joel: "Open competition at QB should always be the starting point, for every team. Is anyone guaranteed a position? They shouldn't be. Greatness in the previous season doesn't earn you a free ticket in the upcoming season."
• Branko.NMI.Sipina: "As sad as this is, it is necessary. I would be shocked if Geno starts from day 1. But as an organization, competition should bring out the best in all QBs."

At least the Jaguars didn't let David Garrard actually put on his uniform Sunday before cutting him. Just two days before the start of the regular season, and five days before their opener against the Titans, the Jaguars surprised many by releasing Garrard and handing the starting job to Luke McCown. Does Garrard have a brighter future than Jack Del Rio?

• "This really just reflects on the organizational ineptitude of the franchise. Preseason and camp reps lost to a guy who is released for nothing, whilst a high pick watches. Garrard hasn't been great, but hey, it's not like Jacksonville has been set elsewhere." -- SN commenter ben212352
• "I mean, Garrard wasn't the future or anything for Jacksonville, but at this point and time, he gave Jacksonville the best chance at winning right now. So this is pretty poor move by the management of the Jaguars organization." -- SN commenter Moneyduck2008
