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."
