I'm putting the over/under number of QB's the Jets use this year at 4.5. With that O line, zero receivers and no tight ends they should be getting hazard pay.

LMAO

I dont think he's taken a preseason snap

They tried soooooooo hard to give Hackenburg this job, but it would have made the tank job way too obvious

they gave it to hackenberg and said "here, be our starting QB. just make 4 completions".

he couldnt even do that

This creates an unusual dynamic as the Jets turn their attention to the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 10. Not only has McCown sat out the past two games, but he has received only a smattering of practice reps over the past 10 days.

Bowles defended his strategy, saying he wanted to use the heart of the preseason to evaluate Hackenberg and Petty. Bowles said he is "not concerned at all" about McCown's readiness for the opener.

"I got a ton of reps in the spring," McCown said Saturday night. "I'll draw on that, and I'll draw on my past. I've been there before, where you're a backup and you don't get reps, and then you're called into action. I feel like absolutely I'd be ready to go."

I don't think we should laugh at The Jets. Oh, wait…yes I do.

The 2 Jets/Bills games should be scintillating. They're both trying to tank the hell out of this season. I foresee hand offs on 3 and 10. Perhaps some new philosophies like punting on 3rd and long. Why take the chance of getting sacked and having to punt from another 8 to 10 yards back? Sure laugh, but I'm sure they laughed at the first guy who thought of the forward pass.

The Jets 20

"who the fuck runs 3 straight statue of liberty plays?"

"And in all my years of football I've never seen a QB take the knee on 2nd at 4 with 8:37 left in the 2nd quarter down by 7. Jesus H Christ, he just did it again".

Tim Tebow once won a game completing only 2 passes. True story. The Jets had Tebow. They never started him. At some point you just have to admit your an organization that makes terrible decisions.
