What we’re scoring
This source explicitly says opening day, unlike the earlier broad 2026 quarterback statements. The approximate seven-month phrase does not move the stated opening-day event into August.
The ruling
Geno Smith started the Jets season opener at Tennessee on September 13. Stidham was not the opening-day starter.
