Theres a growing contingent of fans and media who think Smiths time as a New York Jets quarterback is over — no matter what happens Sunday in the season finale at Miami.Smith has news for you: He believes hes only getting started.I see myself being the quarterback here for a long time, he said Wednesday. I see myself helping this team turn things around. Obviously, Im a part of the reason why were in this position, so Id love to be a part of the solution.This situation would be a 3-12 record that has the futures of both coach Rex Ryan and general manager John Idzik in serious doubt with the franchise. Theres a good chance owner Woody Johnson could clean house next Monday, opting for wholesale changes throughout the organization.Ryan insisted he believes the Jets are an ascending team despite the record, and its obvious what it needs, but Im not going to get into it.Well, that could include the quarterback position, among others. Smith has 10 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions with a 70.9 quarterback rating this season. With his shaky play in his first two years, many believe the Jets will pursue another answer at quarterback through free agency or the draft this off-season.But Smith remains steadfast that he can help the Jets rebound from what quickly became a lost season, including an eight-game losing streak.I know that it takes hard work and not everyone is going to see the same things, but within this locker room, within this group of guys, we all see the potential we have as a team, Smith said. Obviously, thats not saying much with the record that we have right now, but we believe that if we work hard enough and we do whats right, we can turn things around.One of the major questions, however, is whether Smith will progress beyond what he has shown so far.In 29 NFL games, Smith has 40 turnovers — 34 interceptions and six lost fumbles — along with a paltry 68.4 overall quarterback rating. He has regressed in the eyes of many, with his penchant for staring down receivers something even opponents have pointed out.I think he certainly has a chance, offensive co-ordinator Marty Mornhinweg said. There are some guyss that dont even play for a couple or several years, even.dddddddddddd So, hes got an awful lot of experience banked. I think hes got a real chance and an opportunity to become a good quarterback. But thats going to be up to him.Which means Smith will need to improve his timing, reading defences and his consistency.Hes young, talented, bright and works hard with his preparation, Mornhinweg said. So, hes got an awful lot of really good qualities. Nobodys got the crystal ball, but usually when you work hard and prepare and youre talented, good things start happening at some point.Smith has gotten a full taste of playing in the hyper-critical New York-New Jersey market after growing up in Florida and playing in college at West Virginia. The quarterback said a recent comment that change could be good for us all when asked about a potential coaching change was misunderstood, and he was referring to his college experience.My feelings toward Rex, I love the guy, Smith said. Love playing for the guy. Hes my coach and I wouldnt trade him for the world.But he also acknowledged he needs to be more careful in his choice of words.When I was coming in, everyone was saying, Hey, its going to be tough, Smith said. You dont know what youre getting yourself into until you actually go through it. It has been tough, but its not something thats overwhelming. Its something that I fully accept and I understand and I welcome.I appreciate the fact that Im here in New York and we do get all this coverage because I believe that when we turn things around (the coverage will) be on a positive side.NOTES: WR Percy Harvin (ankle, ribs), C Nick Mangold (ankle, finger), S Rontez Miles (shin) and DE Muhammad Wilkerson (toe, illness) did not practice. ... Ryan was fired up about DL Sheldon Richardson not being selected for the Pro Bowl. He does dirty work, he does all that and doesnt mind it, Ryan said of Richardson, who has seven sacks. Never complains. If it kept him out of the Pro Bowl because some guy had X amount of sacks — and that guy cant hold his jock, to be honest with you, as a player — I think thats kind of strange to me. Ryan wouldnt reveal to whom he was referring.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Authentic Nike Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Tennessee Titans Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Washington Redskins Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Denver Broncos Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Green Bay Packers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike New England Patriots Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Oakland Raiders Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Seattle Seahawks Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Carolina Panthers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Cleveland Browns Jerseys Cheap Cheap Throwback Baseball Arizona Diamondbacks Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Atlanta Braves Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Baltimore Orioles Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Boston Red Sox Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Chicago Cubs Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Chicago White Sox Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Cincinnati Reds Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Cleveland Indians Jerseys ' ' '
