T0mShane Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Josh McCown thinking about another year with Jets Darin Gantt We all thought the tank invasion of the Meadowlands would happen on the Jets side of MetLife Stadium. Then again, we didn’t think Eli Manning was going to be the old quarterback being benched, either. So when it comes to the question of Josh McCown’s future with the Jets, we’ve firmly entered “why not?” territory, and he admitted he’s thinking about the possibility of another run. “When you feel like you’ve been chasing this level you believe you can play at for a long time, and you start to feel like you’re scratching the surface of that and doing some of those things and settling into a system that you like, it’s hard to just go, ‘Yeah man, I’ll be done,’ ” McCown said, via Greg Joyce of the New York Post. “But at the same time, if you are going to be done, it’s nice to be able to say you played your best ball at the end. So we’ll see.” The 38-year-old McCown has been far more than a placeholder this year. He’s kept Christian Hackenberg and Bryce Petty glued firmly to the bench, and he’s exceeded every expectation for a team that’s done the same. So as he approaches his first full 16-game season as a starter, it’s natural for him to consider the possibility. “I love being in this system,” McCown said. “It would just be fun to play in a system for two years in a row. I would love to see where I could take that.” He said he wanted to talk to his family this offseason to see if he wanted to keep playing, but the idea has to be tempting. He signed a one-year contract, and his play this year and his reputation as a positive influence in a locker room will likely keep him employed, somewhere, if he wants to keep going.

JiFtheOracle Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Most likely scenario for 2018 is he’s the starter for consistentency, familiarity with the system, leader and mentor for Hack during yellow shirt season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxAF Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 McCown has done well this year, but was it possible that Petty would have done just as well , maybe better? We'll never know. I've watched every game sometimes twice and McCown has missed open receivers, came up short on a few long ball passes. The offensive scheme I believe would have supported Pettys style of play. What the Jets lack right now on offense IMO is a more established ground game, and a better O-line. This has to be the priority in the off season and upcoming draft. The Jets have boo koo bucks to spend next year. If a QB is in the cards than they need to to everything in their power to trade up to the top 3 spots in the draft and go after one. Wentz and Goff have proved themselves to be potential franchise QB's. And if they can maintain their level of play. I think they will. Unlike the Kaep and RGIII styles, these guys are talented pocket passers not running QB'S. They have all the tools to maintain and only get better. McCown has reached his ceiling and is old and not the future QB for the Jets. Maybe keep McCown around as a mentor for a rookie QB, but that's it. I hope they have learned from the Fitz fiasco.

Matt39 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 When we go CB then LB in the draft next year to pair with our new safeties I really see this team taking off. You have to bring back Mccown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legler82 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I don't mind it as long as we draft a guy this year we feel confident will be our future FQB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 McCown can only return if we have drafted a QB in the first round and we need a "placeholder" to keep the spot warm until the young QB is ready to take over. No Fitzpatrick nonsense give him a contract offer as a "placeholder", if he takes it fine otherwise move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section314 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I get the point of this thread, but you could certainly do much worse than bringing back a QB who has a 2:1 TD to INT ratio. And, with our history, we probably will do much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckkieB Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 If we draft a QB and Bowles is still the coach, I don't want McCown or any veteran QB near this team. Hopefully the QB we draft will be ready to play day one. If not, let Petty start until he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nope, the goal is improvement and the ceiling is 8-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Good news. My cousin's barber's kid's teacher overheard Josh McCown in a diner saying "If Brady can play until he's 45, so can I". We've got our QB of the future already on the roster and we didn't even know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 If the Jets somehow got one of the top 4 QB's in the draft McCown is actually a pretty good option. Let McCown start the first 3 or 4 games while our young rookie seltles in and then move to him. Just can't pay him big bucks. It'll need to be a new HC though - as he can't be playing for his job. Much like the Giants did with Warner/Eli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 If you can get this guy some weapons, you can win with him. He is accurate and the 4th quarter meltdowns are not his fault. Jenkins has to be more consistent all day, they need their tight end. The OLine has to protect better. You come back next year with a better running game and you can win a Super Bowl with McCown. Spend the money to get this guy some weapons. Just kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like the Giants did with Warner/Eli. Manning was drafted #1 (Jets wont be drafting #1) and Warner is a HOFer. More likely they draft a 2nd round QB that cant beat out McCown and he remains as starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 McCown's point is essentially whether he wants to come back for another year, not if the Jets want to bring him back. Basically, if he opts not to retire, they will almost certainly offer him another deal. Regardless of what the fans think, it's pretty clear that the entire team, both coaches and players, are all fans of the guy. If the plan is to go QB in the draft, McCown is a near certainty to be returning. Really the only way I see them not going in that direction is if they opt to address QB in FA instead of the draft (i.e., Cousins). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 What I find funny about McCown comments is that he believes he's playing at a high level. While he hasn't been bad the team is still 4-7. Winning 5 or 6 games with McCown is considered a huge success. So sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
