Hackenberg - is there any chance he gets any kind of a shot next year?

[TuscanyTile2]

The obvious answer is no but on the other side:

-He is only 22 years old and they originally said they'd need 1-2 years to "rebuild him" (or whatever the phrase was).   He's had 2 full years now. 

-Jeremy Bates is an in-house guy so I assume he won't have to completely start from scratch learning the offense.

-The guy who drafted him (Macc) is still the GM.

Of course all indications are the Jets are going to do something at QB (Cousins?  Draft a QB with the 1st pick - possibly trading up?)  However, is it possible Hack sticks on the roster and has a surprisingly good training camp?  I realize this is very much a long-shot considering Bowles (who is also still here) seems to hate Hack.  But will Macc push for Hack to get a shot?  Who knows.

With the Jets luck though they'll probably make a big move ($$ and years to Cousins or trade away a ton of draft capital to acquire a top QB prospect) and Hack will end up being the better QB but for another team (maybe Tom Brady's successor down the line?)  

[Jets Voice of Reason]

I hope to god no. If he does something went horribly wrong. 

[Warfish]

Lol

[MDL_JET]

Don’t ask a question and then answer it for us in the first sentence. What is this. 

[T0mShane]

A TETANUS SHOT.

 

[Patriot Killa]

If Cousins signs?

 

NO. He’ll be all but done here.

[Integrity28]

3 off-seasons to learn to throw, maybe. 2nd round pick. Never took a snap. Executive of the year.

[CrazyCarl40]

3rd offensive coordinator in three seasons. None of them would even give him a look. He’s done this offseason.

I have a friend that does that. Conversation:

 

Friend: Yo, how you doing?
Friend: You doing good? Good. Hows the family?
Friend: Awesome, the family is good! Good. 
Me: Uhhhh 

[RoadFan]

No.

He will make a good insurance salesman or maybe a coach?

In Pennsylvania or Virginia?

[nycdan]

In the XFL

[southtown24th]

No

[Snell41]

If we sign Cousins? Zero chance.

If we draft QB first round, maybe 1% chance.

If we re-sign McCown, negative infinity chance.

I think he has a shot to be back as the 3rd QB. But that isn't a lock because he hasn't even earned that.

 

[Philc1]

I heard the Edmonton Eskimos need a backup

This is the ONE AND ONLY criticism of Mac that is valid.

Hack should have been cut last year.  He essentially stole money from Woody Johnson

[bla bla bla]

He'll get a chance to show his worth in training camp. I doubt we cut him if there is any sort of growth because he's still cheap for 2 more years. If you need to get to your 2nd or 3rd QB generally that ends your season anyway (except for the Vikings). If he flames out again and we have a capable backup then he'll be cut. I don't believe he will get a chance to start barring some crazy 180 turn because I expect us to get Cousins or a rookie at #6 and either move is likely the end of Hack ever getting a chance to start here. Just gotta hope he shows enough to be a backup or enough to get any sort of pick for him.

[bgivs21]

Unfortunately no. They punted that option by starting McCown last year. He should have gotten 1-2 starts last year. 

The way this year is shaping up, we'll end up with Cousins. Hack will sit on bench. Eventually traded to a San Fran type team for a 4th rounder & win the last 5 games of the season. Providing hope for that franchise as we sit here with a declining cousins.

[peebag]

It was a mistake to have drafted him and it's a mistake that he's still on the roster.

[Skeet Ulrich]

Bates told you what the organization thought of Hackenberg before the Panther game. He's not ready for primetime and never will be. He'll be cut after TC IMO

YES, (with Vince McMahon's)  league

[kevinc855]

lol we want to win this year man. Getting past the early "rebuild" stage now

[Saul Goodman]

Come on man 

[Freemanm]

It can't hurt to let him come to training camp, but if he's still throwing at receivers' feet in preseason games like he has been in the past two years, I'd say cut him before the season begins.

[NoBowles]

I sure as hell hope not, it would really suck if he actually came to camp and showed promise. It would be in all Jets fans interest if he sucks balls and his balls shrivel up due to gang green of the nuts.

[JiFtheOracle]

He's the team's best towel boy.  He aint going anywhere.

  We do not!  We just signed a guy who has been in the league for like 18 years and has now LITERALLY been on every CFL team in the league as our backup.

[Beerfish]

Well he had is red shirt and blue shirt years.  I feel he will come into camp, light it up and beat out the 150 million dollar man Cousins for the starting job.

Holy hell you start by asking us if Hack will get a chance to play next and quickly answer no for us. Then finish by suggesting he could be Tom Brady’s successor? Go outside and take a walk or eat something. 

[Fantasy Island]

a money shot in his next career.

[flgreen]

Not sure Hack will even be on the team next year.

1)Cousins

2)McCown

3)4th round pick

[kmnj]

he should not be here nor should mac for drafting Hack in the first place but I could point out tons of other mistakes Mac has made as well. It is comical that anybody can defend Mac or his drafts at this point. Our roster is one of the worst in the league-I dont think Mac will cut Hack though as that would be him admitting how terrible this pick was-he will just take up a roster spot again this year and not be played

[ChuckkieB]

Hack should NOT be on the team under any circumstances next year.  He's not going to be given a chance to play whether the starting QB is Kirk Cousins or a rookie. Another veteran will be brought in to back up Cousins  or the rookie QB or even to temporarily start until said rookie QB is ready. This leaves no room for Hackenberg for anything other than a 3rd string, non dress every week QB for the third straight year.  Mac needs to admit he made a mistake and fill that slot with someone who can actually pretend to be an NFL QB for a few quarters at a time in an emergency situation.
