Never Named The Starter
Immediately, after the 2015 season ended, Mike Maccagnan was asked about free agent quarterback to be Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Maccagnan proceeded to tell the media that Fitzpatrick is the Jets starter heading into the offseason of 2016.

Not once have the Jets named Geno Smith the starting quarterback. This is the case despite the abundance of posturing on both sides up to this point.
