So, why do you guys hate McCown again?

Admittedly i've been in and out of games all season -- but i've seen enough to know he's the least of our worries.

No one's going to mistake him for Tom Brady, but we haven't had consistent stable play at QB like this since Pennington. How can we not entertain him as the mentor/interim guy with the rookie we draft next year? (assuming you subscribe to that inevitability)

 

What am I missing?

Cause the rookie has to start. In this on demand world. We want the rookie and we want him now. There is no need to actually learn. Go out and wing it and jets and stuff 

all kidding aside. If they draft a qb high this year I’m all for McCown being back, if they dont then he should be thanked and shown the door

I dont believe the consensus is people dont like McCown and what he is doing for this team at the QB position.  He has had a solid season.  I believe the consensus is that he isnt the future at 38 yrs old, and this year is a rebuilding year.

The notion that young QB's need a veteran mentor is BS. You can either play in this league, or you can't. No amount of mentorship will change that. It's time to find out if our youngsters can play or not.

We're 4-7, so he's not exactly helping us in the present.

He's 38, so he's not part of our future.

There is no upside to having him as our starter.

Because a mentor/interim guy isn't a thing. It's a narrative. A myth. A fable. Folklore, if you will.

You can either play or you can't.

Remember when there was no way Josh McCown was starting 1 game this year because he was clearly just brought in to be a mentor?

Yeah, me neither. It was a narrative, a myth, a fable...

Hate Mccown because he is going to give the Jets 6 wins they never would have gotten. Jets would have a franchise QB Rosen or Darnold waiting in the wings if not for Mccown. He has been a devastating curse. Bowles fired and a franchise QB if no Mccown

That's my big issue with the whole debate.  It's a really big leap to say Petty or Hackenburg should be getting reps, as it's already pretty clear they aren't solutions.  

If you already know what you have in those 2, what's the difference?

At least by playing McCown, you can honestly evaluate every other area on offense.

Mccown signed with a promise from the organization that they would not use a #1 draft pick on a qb. So if he stays, no future. The jets cant reneg or all trust will be broken and the locker room will become chaotic

He’s 38 and has no future.

He’s never remotely been this healthy, this long and this productively. This is his “Fitz 2015”.

He’s been a huge part of our 4th Quarter failures.

With all that I don’t think anyone hates him, on the contrary he gets appreciated to some degree for what he has done this year.

Most of us simply see this for what it is, a lucky old guys last minor moment of pro glory in a meaningless year.

What we do in 2018 and beyond is what matters now.

Then if Petty amd Hackenberg arent solutions and arent even worthy of getting first team reps, then why the **** are they even on the roster? LOL.

 

The 49ers started CJ Beatherd for a good portion of the season. Case Keenum has shockingly had a great season. Nathan Peterman and DeShonn Kizer have started. But "we already know what we have with Petty and Hack"? LOL. Then they should have released at least one of them and concentrated on developing the remaining player (which would be Petty, because Hack is a lost cause and EVERYONE knows it). But lets be honest. EVERYBODY but Todd Bowles and Josh McCown know the Jets were going NOWHERE this year. They needed to see if Petty was worth a long term #2 spot and be in position to draft a blue chipper. Josh McCown is a nice guy and a competent short term starter, but a total waste of time.

Because this site is full of glass half full malcontents, who can't admit that they were wrong about the guy.

I don't hate him and I don't think bringing him back next year as a backup/mentor is a bad idea. 

However, I wouldn't call his play this year consistent. This has been his best season of his career and today was probably his best game of the season. He's had a lot of problems with consistency and is a huge reason why we've struggled to close games.

Today he was helped a lot by being able to establish an effective run game through the game and the coaching staff setting up a game plan to let the offense play slow and not put too much pressure on him.

If Josh McCown led the Jets to the playoffs, I would be the happiest wrong man throughout the entire town of Wrongville.

Being wrong about Josh McCown leading the team to 5-6 wins instead of 1-2 wins is the complete opposite of that.

I'll never confuse McCown for the long term answer, but I gotta give the guy credit and think he has value for us next year whatever we do.  Hopefully as a backup to an up and coming rookie.
