Quote Of The Day
''Of course, Mark's the starter. There's no question about it. That's how we look at it, but we know that Tim can help us, too. There's no doubt. ... Mark is our starting quarterback. We've said that. We understand Tim is a backup quarterback, but we also recognize the fact that this guy's an excellent football player and we're going to use his abilities.'' -- Jets coach Rex Ryan on Monday
