Seven most awkward NFL quarterback situations in 2017

New York Jets, NFL’s biggest QB dumpster fire

Yes. Once again, the Jets will hold a quarterback competition, this time between veteran Josh McCown and youngsters Christian Hackenberg and Bryce Petty.

“It’s a full competition between the three of us,” McCown said, per Rich Cimini of ESPN. “I think all three of us will approach it as trying to be the guy. I think that’s good for our team. It’s healthy for our team for all of us to compete as hard as we can.”

Get the popcorn ready. This should make for some must-see action. Or not.

It would be surprising if McCown was not the man under center for Week 1. He is (by far) the most experienced, though he did sport a 1-10 record his last two years in Cleveland.

Beyond McCown, things get pretty scary. Hackenberg was reportedly criticized quite badly by a member of the Jets’ coaching staff. Petty threw seven interceptions compared to three touchdowns in four games in 2016.

It is no surprise that NFL Network’s Elliott Harrison features preseason rankings with the Jets sitting at No. 32.
