New York Jets: Starting quarterback…got any you can sell for cheap?
As we touched on in the introduction, the Jets are open for business when it comes to things we could criticize. However, the one glaring thing this team needs above all others is a competent quarterback.
Bryce Petty is rumored to be on the roster bubble heading into camp. Christian Hackenberg has gotten some love from the coaching staff, but this is a kid who continues to pelt media on the sidelines with errant passes. Josh McCown is a career 59.1 percent passer whose record as a starter sits at 18-42, and he’s favored to win the job!
Even accounting for what could be a strong defense, we’re having a hard time envisioning a season that’s any better than 4-12. You just cannot win in the NFL without a quarterback.
Right now, the Jets don’t have one.
