So basically , I think the reasoning behind starting McCown was so that the rest of the team would be behind it rather then if we started one of the kids and everyone else throws in the towel from day one. Then we don't get to see what we have from anyone. I think management figured since McCown hasn't won 3 games in the last 8 years combined , then what are the chances he wins 3 now to take us out of the #1 pick hunt.
What they forgot to figure in is that : we are the Jets. You had to figure that when we met up with the cheatahs for the 1st time this year that we would still be in striking distance so we could blow the game against them and then never win again. That way everyone is devastated from blowing a chance for first place while at the same time we have already won 3 games taking us out of the running for the QB picks. Not that it matters anyway because either would stay in school, if they knew the Jets were drafting them. Break hearts and breakum hard. That's what the Jets do.
he only thing worse that they can do to us now is put in Petty or Hack and have them look good enough so that they don't even try to draft a QB. Then of course next year Petty or Hack would suck after we spend our draft pick on a defensive lineman to replace Richardson.
